TRI-HQ (TRI-FP) - Several pilots have voiced concern over recent tax hikes by TRI, on much needed equipment. While, according to TRI, the new 2% tax is designed to encourage pilots to purchase from producing stations, the new tax has been poorly received by some pilots.
"This is just another example of TRI mismanagement," cited one pilot, who wished to remain anonymous, for fear of reprisals. "TRI hikes our taxes, and doesn't even have the courtesy to tell us about it ahead of time. They claim they are doing this to help us, and the economy, but really, they are out to control our lives."

"As part of TRI's ongoing efforts to bring the economy under control, we have implemented some small prices changes to equipment," remarked Sagrith Hubri, from the TRI Economic Affairs Office. "The new pricing model includes a price difference between producing and non producing stations to encourage pilots to move equipment where it is needed. In addition, a new 2% tax has been implemented on equipment outside of a production station, to further encourage purchase from production sites."

"TRI has lowered itself to a new level of ineptitude with this stunt," commented Octavian official J'on Tin. "When will its pilots realize that they are better off without TRI's incompetence? It is past time that the factions took over those responsibilities that TRI is clearly not able to perform in any reasonable manner."

Time will tell whether this decision by TRI pans out.
