So, as a member of the BAF, I while traveling to Tau23 to the BMM base their, was attacked by two CR gunboats and destroyed. Is this not considered a military action?
Also, many events such as "declaring war" against many factions, such as the outcasts.
Should they still be allowed to use the IMG tag? and not say, a generic military ID. CR is currently RPing beyond the bounds of the IMG tag, acting nothing at all like what an IMG faction should.
Also many CR members are mentioning things like "Tau belongs to us" and other unsubstantiated claims that a trader faction cannot possibly make.
Edit; (this forum might well be the wrong place for this, it is not something really serious, might want to move or delete..)
Well, IMG and BMM are competitors.
Anyways, the =CR= (colonial remnant) arent exactly IMG, but it's the closest available tag/ID for their purposes. They're basically an 'import group' from battlestar galactica.
Yeah... it's a whole story about what affiliations we use. We pick them not exactly to describe who we are, but rather for for which group's betterment wer're working at the time. We first would wear Planetfoerm tags because the corporation offered us a habitable planet in exchange for our military's services (Like installation protection/escort)
And because Planetform fooled us, we broke the agreement ad hooked up with the IMG. They were the most likely group to find some adequate place to livs due to their constant search for minerals... So they've got all their military matters taken care of (Like Keeping the Outcasts out of the Taus and Bretonians away from IMG bases)
If/when they find some nice, green, paradise planet that is suitable to set up a colony, well, big thanks and good bye IMG I guess.
And we can't use the generic military ID because if I remember the rules right - generic ID-using factions may not own systems. And we own Tau 44.
(Hoping for some faction-specific ID, it would make things easier and the white tractor beam is just boring:P)
But why direct attacks on BAF? This very thing has been bothering me for a while... as IMG is a lawful force, how can you justify attacking BMM. If they were pirates sure, but attacking civilians by military ships is a bit OORP I think.
Is IMG even hostile to BAF? If it isn't it will probably become, as they are attacking BMM that is one of the more important Bretonian companies... Same goes for CR... I find the whole thing a bit foul...
What are the conventions on CR acting like terrorists against BMM, there have been repeated attacks on our shiping and escorts. Are we at a state of War? Should we double the Bretonian ship production to face another enemy?
That is my point, the attack was entirely unprovoked, i had also been attacked a few days earlier by a CR bomber using Tizona Del cids.
another incident a little before the gunboat thing was several CR VHF shooting at trade lanes in tau while we attempted to make it back to the gate (we were chasing a cowardly corsair gunboat "Florian") we were warned over and over that we should not be in tau (..) and I recieved a rather angry "I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE" as the gunboats shot me up. I just dont think IMG is remotely the right tag, perhaps the terrorist tag?
I have no idea...
Nothing out of the ordinary here. The BMM and IMG were stiff competitors, and that was one of the main reasons for the Tau wars. because of the wars, the IMG can police the Taus as they see fit (Minus the Oucasts and Kusari to police when they are around). They don't want BMM there, plain and simple, because BMM instigated a war to kick them out, and they have every right to defend their space against BMM and their supporters, including the BAF. In fact, a military vehicle like that in the Taus is only bad news for them. The BAF has threatened to destroy the Battleship Hood and Cardiff Mining Station, so it is understandable that they were fearful of losing Java to a covert BAF team in order to pressure them to pressure the Kusari government to end the war.
As I see it, nothing the CR did here was unjustified.
Also, because of CR actions in Bretonia, the QCRF has labeled them as hostile, so get used to the CR shooting up BAF ships...
Surtenly then, but attacks on us happened in Dublin, and where do they get Tizionas and nomad blasters... I was quite disapointed in that part aswell... I felt as a corsair nob attacked me.
Well It seems we have to double our protection.
I remember when we toasted a CR liner for bitching about how the base in magellan had a neutral Zone around it.....Because it used the borrede free port name. I still can't understand for the life of me why he just didn't dock would've saved his ass....
BAF, more exactly QCXX attacked the CR forces in more, than 2 events, where it was compeltely unawaited (1st - war with Mollys, 2nd - attacking a CR peaceful supply convoy) and the CR suffered by those attacks more, than could be considered healthy. Now, if you think there is nothing we could have against Bretonia, there is much more, than just attacking some convoys.
=CR= - Hating Bretonia since 812 A.S.
EDIT:Markam, Jure. We already are hostile to the Bretonians, as you can see
here. If you suggest us terrorist IDs for attacking a lawful faction, then I am afraid a terrorist ID is also requied for the faction that attacked us.
And a little question: Why isnt this in the faction feedback thread? I thought that would be the place...
