Well, just Imagine what happens when you shoot people at a Gas station. You get hunted, and for sure you are not going to get to come back to that gas station. Keep on pissing all over the Ames NFZ, and one day you could have your docking rights to Zoner Bases taken away. Heck, all rogue factioons and indie rogues could loose access cause of your factions repeated NFZ violations. Who knows? RP consequences and all ......right?
About the Bounty on the AFC...
Lets take the progression in steps...shall we...
This Happened ingame, right next to Ames Research Station...like less than 150 meters.

So, wanting to kinda know what was up with the "NewRouges", I went looking for a feedback thread but could not find one, so I posted
So the next morning I see this gravedig, where it sounds like you are wanting to get a rubber stamp on access to NT, with out taking into consideration all the things that have changed since that thread started. http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread...pid1660889
So, now there happens to be a discussion about, under what circumstances can a House Pirate faction can expand into another Houses systems. Which I think is positive. You I suspect think otherwise.
(The reasoning you use, by the way, in that thread made no sense and sounded more like Blackmail than anything else. --we are forced to rp aggressive pvp oriented pirates to keep our members happy becouse there are no high credit trade routes in our ZOI and that is why we need to expand to NT-- To me that sounds like, ---give us NT and we will stop being such hardasses ingame---. I kept my answers in that post to what the OP specified, but here I dont mind telling ya what I thnk. What you thought you might get easy, now may take some time and it pissed you off.)
Basically putting your spin on things, but not even close to the ingame reality, and then you posted the 10mill bounty on the AFC.
It is pretty transparent to me that the bounty on AFC is partly for OORP reasons.
Regardless, this whole thing has generated much needed activity in that part of space, and that is positive.
What will be negative, is if you play your new rogue faction so aggresively that no one wants to play with you, or go near that part of space. You can be so good a being bad that no one comes around your corner of the sandbox.
The "Join or Die" style of RP...sure ...could be valid.....You offer.....I decline.....POST A FORUM BOUNTY..... so now there is a price on my head, maybe I reconsider and join...Taking out a motionless freighter 50 meters from a freeport that you are camping at requieres no skill at all, as a pilot or as a roleplayer.
