OK first of all, heres what happened earlier to my trader...
I was moving through leeds in my (Universal tagged trader), when a pirate (Outcast tag) stops me and demands money. In the end, I ended up escaping, and once I was away from him, I stopped next to a (Interspace Commerce) tagged ship. ( some sort of gunboat/destroyer), who promply opens fire out of nowhere and kills me.
Now, he had a Red Hessian ID or Outcast on, but still belonged to an allied Faction, thus in RP terms I should have been safe.
Now my question, which do you look at? The ID or Faction? Is he allowed to use a Trader Faction, to "trick" traders into thinking its safe, then killing them without saying a word?

The ID is the overriding factor here, a tag may be misleading but always scan someones ID.Their ship will also be a giveaway as to what Faction they are, unless they have an OORP ship.

Mainly its the ID, But the guy should have had a matching tag to his ID which he didn't.
Also if the Hessian just opened fire and killed you without asking for tax he broke a server rule.

Its possible he was working with the other pirate I guess. And he did know that his Faction was messed up.
Alright then, next time I'll pay more attention to IDs even if it is hard to check them on the run.

I think I know who the pirate is...
IC tag, Outcast ID, Red Hessian Cruiser
so he broke 2 rules at once:
- IC tag/Outcast ID
- Pirating in a Cruiser

' Wrote:- Pirating in a CruiserIf you mean demanding money from traders with this, I fear thats the worst one..

Unfortunately I didn't get a screenshot..

send me a PM if you remember that name (at least vaguely...).... I found some 4 day old screens of him(if it's him) in New Berlin with that Tag/Id combination shieldrunning from 1 Fighter + 1 Bomber 2 times.
@Kress... no the worst one is shooting traders in a Cruiser without warning

It would seem the player was sanctioned so, thats a moot point.
Anyhow, so if I understood correctly, the tag is important to match your character, but in the end its the ID that counts the most?
Faction Tags - Unseelie - 12-16-2007
yes...
Everyone will tell you to check their ID, but, tags should be close.
as close as possible.
It helps.
