Proposal: ID changes for 4.87

[Jack_Henderson]

[color=#FFFFFF][align=justify]I'm not sure what your problem is. 5.2 is still in effect and has been for long, with or without those lines in the proposed IDs.

Because it kills the 6.6 rule.

6.6 Aggressors are not allowed to destroy a trade vessel prior to issuing a demand, in system or local chat, and allowing sufficient time to respond. Demands may be cargo, credits or an RP demand, such as leaving the system. "Halt" is not a demand. You must say more than this to ask a ship to stop however you may destroy them if they attempt escape.

Up to now, an easy target always had the right to at least get some roleplay.
Some roleplay is defined as "a possibility to say something at least".
Now you can reduce the interaction that actually was good sometimes to
"You are enemy" "You die".

That's what roleplay should be like! We want more of it!

Compare it to what the rules enforced up to now:

IMG to OC Cardi BWT: "Stop it! You are carrying contraband"
BWT: "Okay okay! Don't shoot. Can we find a solution?"
IMG: "You can drop it or we escort you to the Freeport and you unload it there."
... etc...

This actually happened.
Will it happen with "May treat as combat targets?". No.
Why? No one is forced any more to rp, risk that he gets away, risk that he gets close enough to base to make it... so why even care?

Just... "You enemy". "You die". RP done. Pew.

That's my problem with this line.
It sucks.
It has no right to exist in a roleplay game.
