Keep in mind, we also have ID lines that say, "Can attack <NAME> anywhere, EXCLUDING transports". So there are 3 varying ID lines regarding this.
1: Can attack <NAME> anywhere, including transports
2: Can attack <NAME> anywhere, excluding transports
3: Can attack <NAME> anywhere.
So Snak3, it's not that rules changed, or that we didn't give notice. It was assumed/accepted by multiple I've spoken with excluding you that the 3rd line means all ships. Which doesn't contradict Aerelm's post, it just means we weren't clear about #3 like we were with the first two.
So my green text was to clarify #3, that it aligns with #1, not #2.
Now before Snak3 or whoever wants my head of the staff's head for this, we are looking at working on updating ID's as many are very outdated and need updating, as we have cases like this where ID's have varying text. When that change will come, who knows. But it is being discussed because I (and we as staff) agree that there are some conflicting lines in ID's that need to be fixed and have universal verbiage.
