I think something about orders needs to be explained here. As I see it there are two diffrent types of orders and we need to distinguish between them so the argument becomes more clear. First type of order in a order of inaction. This comes when a Corsair is already involved in a situation, and a second (or third or whatever) Corsair comes into the fray. As I see it, whoever is in the conflict before I get there is in charge and I will follow his or her directives, whether it be the lowleist OPG or Benitez or Indi. If he tells me not to engage I will follow that order, it is his or her battle not mine, and he or her is in charge regardless of rank or family. I think all corsairs should understand this. And yes If I was in combat with someone, and another Corsair refused my orders to back off, I would probalby open fire on them. Lets remember people we are Corsaris, not the freaking UN.
The Second type of order is one of action. for example, come attack this target with me or something like that. This order need not be followed. No one from another faction can tell you to risk your ship, that is your choice, and yours alone.
This Eagle-One sitution was the first variety and I stand behind Ivan. But understand, because some people are not, I am not saying everyone should always follow an order from a ranking house memeber, but when you decide to force your way into a already going battle, against the wishes of those who are already involved, you take your life into your own hands. We are Corsairs, not a moot court squad, we are people of action and all this, lets take it to the council goes against my ideals as a Corsair, If I have a problem with someone, we take care of it, wether by talk or by cannon fire, we will take care of it.
Now Anso, I find it very intresting, that you talk of all your respect for TBH but you seem to not have had the respect for us, when you resigned your position in TBH without telling anyone, leaving us to find out from a post on an unrealated matter. Thats real Class brother, Real Class, it just makes me want to work things out with you soooo much more. Also, maybe you should take the TBH out of your signiture since you are no longer a memeber. Will you also be reimbersing us for the funds used to purchase and arm your ship?

And please Anso, explain this little gem to me, Is this some kind of threat?
