I don't want to hijack the Exiles/Junkers thread so I'll bring this up here. Recently, (and by that I mean only a few weeks) I have noticed that the bounty hunter rep on my Junker characters is affecting the rep of other lawful ships around me. If a hostile bounty hunter npc comes into range everything else gets hostile as well. I have been playing on the server since June 08 and this has never happened. I was wondering if an explanation can be given as to why it is happening now.
Before anyone tells me to RP through this, let me point out that this has already been done. The Junker Congress has been in communication with Liberty about being harassed by hunters and mercenaries. In fact the Liberty Government has taken action against hunters and mercs that attacked Junkers without lawful cause. Therefore there is no reason that Liberty forces should become hostile to Junkers because of a few bounty hunters.
Furthermore, this actually KILLS RP. I'll give an example. Junker is sitting outside Manhattan RPing with some other ships. Two npc hunters spawn and suddenly two bases, a docking ring, and a battleship patrol open up on the Junker and the Junker has to leave quickly'¦..RP is over.
There was already RP in existence that opposes this.
It was changed without RP.
It makes it hard for us to continue RPing while the server count is low.
