If you don’t mind ditching the starship afterwards into a friendly star, a smash-and-grab might actually be a decent option.
Of course, you have to do it _again_, after they rebuild, so…
I’ve not done any research on the subject, but it seems to me that repeated raiding can make a fortress too expensive to maintain. It works a lot better if you can net gain money on the raids, though…
Trina is pretty free with the info about her being a bot. I believe she genuinely feels what she feels, but do other humans regard her as a living being, or as a sex-toy? (Specifically, Tirin and Co.) Just curious, Renie referred to her as “his girlfriend”. Are AIs considered people in this universe?
Ain’t nothing wrong with the direct approach.
Agree!

Indeed, suspect Tirin won’t rule out that option given how no-nonsense she is

Good point. Reny’s reaction to Trina’s statement is coming up!
