A few questions about Kusari Exiles ID.

[Fluffyball]

- Can attack unlawful and quasi-lawful ships in proximity to a trade lane[3].

This is why I got confused by several IDs, since in some of them there are lines clearly stating "inside ZOI", and then we have line like this one.

So, I think, if all other lines specifies "must be inside ZOI" and there's line without that addendum, the line applies everywhere. Even if it is however safer to assume that it should be in ZOI, yet KuEx in Cortez for example encountering baddie next to the TL is still technically allowed to fulfill the line - as he does not break his ID ruleset per se in the form as they are written.

Why I have based my opinion on that? Let's see here:

- Can attack unlawfuls, quasi-lawfuls and ships which belong to a house or organisation considered hostile by the Kusari Exiles within their Zone of Influence.

And we have this:

- Can attack unlawful and quasi-lawful ships in proximity to a trade lane.

Those aren't one, but two different and distinct lines, second of which does not forbid to fulfill it outside ZOI. One line doesn't and cannot override the other line and both lines are to be treated separately.

While the second line seems to be senseless, I found out why the second line was added. The second line was added to resolve scenarios, in which Kusari Exiles are, for example, flying in Cortez, Magellan or inside Liberty or even inside Kusari and they encounter criminals, who lurk on disabled TL. That's why I believe this one particular line was added, to give Kusari Exiles chance to act first and not to wait idly for "2million-or-dai" offer. I think Rishiri is also applicable system for that particular line about TL.

We shouldn't forget they are, after all, still lawful authority above all the exile thing - not mere terrorists or pirates. They are still a disciplined military whose goal is to protect traders against pirates.
