When is going against ID acceptable?

[Stabby Dave]

Ok, so here's an example. A pilot's got a zoner ID/IFF and is flying a whale. He's on a trade run that takes him across house space when a pirate attacks. He's right on top of a station, so what does he do?

The ID says he can't dock at the station, but real life ( and therefore quite possibly RP) says he'd do anything to save his skin.

What do you think?

Cheers.

You must always follow your ID restrictions.

You must always follow your ID restrictions.

So are there any extenuating circumstances whatsoever, whereby a player character can temporarily override his ID?

Another example. A player gets scammed by a non pirate. They meet up 5 mins later. His ID says he cannot pirate or attack other shipping. Can the other guy flip him the finger with impunity or is he allowed to do something about it?

Yes, when nobody reports you. No report, no crime.

Something unclear here ? There are no extenuating circumstances. Breaking the rules to get back at a rule
breaker makes you no better than them ...
If completely necessary, just post a sanction report.

This would count as self defense, imo...

[Hone]

I can see where this is going, maybe it would count as self defence, it doesnt matter if his ID says he cant attack stuff.

Cmon guys, zelot and hood have answered this threads question completely, lets not drag it out with "what ifs" and examples.

Fair enough. I was only asking hypothetically. No need to get sarky.

Question asked and answered.

Sheesh.

Cheers all.

So that about wraps that up then.
