When does a core 1 base die ? After 192456 years ?

I said numerous times that indies have a whole lot of responsibility. I don't think being active on the forum and keeping eyes peeled to random comms threads to avoid getting killed by neutral parties is one of them though. Personally I am an indie and a faction player*; I feel equally responsible for my actions when I log a tagged as well as an untagged ship.

That is good, and you are a good example of a player, but you too have to admint that your example of a responsible indie is not something we could freely call a standard.

And yes, if that is needed for you to stay alive, it is your responsibility too if you want to stay alive.

Naturally when a smuggler gets insta-killed on his first cardi run, he'll go hauling ore or something else. Making life difficult for Outcasts = Making life difficult for Outcast players = some will go elsewhere because that's easier. There's nothing odd in that.

Can you tell me the exact number of players decided not to smuggle cardi only because of they got popped by Mal Fp?

Did you try hunting those couple of Outcasts that'd been harassing you? Did you get your friends and allies to chase them down? Did you bounty them severely? Was taking every passing non-registered ship hostage REALLY the last resort?

Who applies the roleplay consequences on you when there's no faction to do so?

I am not aware what exact measures TAZ did against those individuals, but I trust their judgement. They are a well known roleplaying faction, if it comes to simple shooting, then that must have been a last resort. That is my standpoint, only TAZ members can get proper answers to your question.
