Non-trading transports engagement

[sindroms]

Yo, peeps.


I am not the person who keeps a lot of lawful characters in mind, so do tell. How do we deal with transports, which are not trading? Pirating transports, code dealers and so on.

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.

So does this mean that a pirate in a transport has the ability to leave the lane unmolested, when caught by lawfuls if he pays a fine or leaves the system? Isn't that a bit...odd?

Even more so, how does this affect code dealers? Shouldn't they be treated as regular ships, since they do not use transports to trade goods? Does the pirate really have to demand cargo or credits, allowed to engage the target only after a sufficient time is given to respond and only if the dealer refuses the demand (During which he has already quickdocked, made some 5min noodles and found that one song he likes on youtube)?




Just wat.
