Wat. Powergaming sanctions wat my wat.

[Pancakes]

How would it be any different if he reported the offense to some other GRN dude that was flying around? I can tell you - it wouldn't. At all.
Nor would it be out of roleplay for him to do it.

How would it be different? Oh I guess much like those miners who mine ore, F1 and log their transports that are also F1'd right there (Or the people who outright multibox) that instead of interacting with a third party as an informant, you're taking your RP into your own hands to powergame on your little surprise catch. The fact he took a BATTLESHIP to extort another player in an outright defenseless vessel also doesn't help this case and in my opinion, clearly shows us that sanctioned player was doing it to be a muppet.

Also, what happened to the "What happens in sanctions, stays in sanctions"?

What I am seeing here is people being douchebags, if your USI ship sees a furball between at least 2-3 other people and you decide to log your rogue to join in the festivities, that's ok because there is simply now 3-4 people playing out a shooting encounter. One player seeing a barge and going $$$ and doing something that is solely beneficial to only himself, that is douchebaggery right there.

EDIT: Divine, Metagaming is powergaming

Don't mistake my words as to saying that this is morally okay Alte, but we have defined rules, and while I don't encourage such behavior, nor would do it myself, it's still not against the rules and it's not metagaming. Poor-form? Sure, but definitely not metagaming.

Again, while this might be an extreme, you could take it to whole different, yet similar in their nature, situations.
