If an indy Coalition player wants to disobey an SCRA pilot...there's nothing wrong with that. But there can/will/should be consequences inRP if that happens.
The only time they can order Players of the Same affiliation is under Faction Rule 4.7, Is if a Valid RP-Justification is given. A simple "Return to Omega-52" is not a sufficient Justification in my eyes, and this can ONLY be issued by the Faction Leader or One Rank below Faction Leader.
Quote:4.7 Official player factions have authority over players of the same NPC affiliation, as long as RP justification is provided. This authority applies in forums and in-game, and applies to player faction diplomacy, and strategic and tactical direction. However, exercise of that authority, on the forums and in game, is restricted to official faction members with the rank of the official faction leader and one rank below him/her. The authority may be exercised through the use of in-game in-RP orders, which, if not obeyed, can result in in-game in-RP consequences (arrest, court martial, and even "lethal" force in extreme circumstances). Official player factions cannot, under any cicrumstances, require another player to follow non-canon RP if that player doesn't want to.
