They did.

It's an issue when new Outcast players and burgeoning Cardamine smugglers get whacked like this, they ditch either the server or ditch the Outcasts. I love the Outcasts more than any faction, so it saddens me to see fresh blood getting chased off. Can't comment on other groups because I haven't been in a group experiencing that. Your base, while boosting your forum activity, kills in-game activity for other players; and you got a responsibility for that if you truly want the respect you seem to think you deserve.

Ditto. You can keep saying that whenever you don't get the answer you want, and so can I. Let's fast forward over that part.

And here is where I was of the belief that Factions should rise above that and ensure their bases act according to lore and ID, even if there are no written rules on the area. Afterall, how can you claim to be more capable of having bases when you stoop to the lowest level? For a neutral faction TAZ chose the most violent, bloody and hostile solution to their problem, when there was a range of other more diplomatic or subtle solutions available - just because they could and no one was there to stop them, regardless of what lore suggests.

That base was shooting innocents for a period of time, and you said that the warning you posted on the forum was sufficient justification to do so, did you not? Would that be sufficient rp to you if we were talking player actions and not base actions? Don't you have an obligation to let all your entities and objects in-space represent TAZ and take full responsibility?

And when there is no player faction to apply those consequences, then what? We let it slide? We don't have a commitment in our own RP to at least take into account both sides of the lore framework we seek to adhere to?
