Just pass me the Kool-aid, please.
Apparently they don't. Good catch, teach.
Oh, and I wasn't aware that "Holland" was still called Holland.

Well, they were never called Hollandish anyway, so they can still be Dutch:P
And I believe the country in question is Switzerland, not the Netherlands.
And isn't the Dutch word for 'Dutch', 'Nederlands' anyway?
Apparently they changed the English word for 'Dutch' was changed during the World Wars to 'Netherlands' (similar to the non-translated word), so that it wouldn't sound like 'Deutsch', the German word for 'German'.
Such lame propaganda was common, much like the renaming of the German Shephard breed of dog to the Alsation.
and moving back on topic...what is the corect answer to this issue. I was blasted to hell last night by Sir_Grumpy and I hadn't even docked. He followed me from texas to fortelza base. i was carrying light arms and was gonna pick up gold to return to Norfolk.
I waited outside the base, he caught up said I was guilty of supplying arms to pirates and blew me away, cost me 5mil that did...grr.
I wish I had docked and sold the guns tbh.
anyway, can we take guns to rogues/corsairs etc without getting killed for it or no?
i was also told by sir_grumpy that he would have killed me if i had just docked without any arms!!!!
if it is decided that I was in fact doing no wrong I would like an admin to sort a refund of the 5mil I lost if this is possible?
I don't see anyone doing wrong here. It's called RP. You haul cargo, you get pirated... or am I missing something?
If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
You're fond of guns at Lanzarrotte because it's defined, literally, as a fortress in case someone invades O-49. And hell, it makes a great trade route, though I still have to aske the Bretonians about getting licensed or something to have my train haul 'em down there. It's gotten so annoying having to bounce back and forth in the trade lanes every time a BAF shows up in front of NL. I'm actually considering paying for a Spyglass, just so I can get the stinkin scanner.

If he attacks you and you are not carrying contraband, take screenshots and send it to the admins.
Caveat:
If the system you are in is owned by the faction giving the orders (officially on this forum-not just by virtue of affiliation,) he or she can kill you for sneezing. Not the case with Mr. Grumpy of course.

I checked with Nightfall before though and he said it was ok and I want to make sure that is still the case. So the question is, if Police or Military catch you docking at a pirate base with small arms can they blow you up. From an RP stance it makes sense, why would they tolerate arming pirates and terroist. Wouldn't that qualify as illegal activity and hence not valid for trader tag.
