I'm rambling at this point, sorry. Anyways, I wish you guys the best of luck and hope that an encounter as a non-Liberty Corp transport won't necessarily mean certain death!
P.S. Accepting bribes would be super-neat if the victim offers them. =)
I try not to hang around in Pennsylvania because most of the time newer players see red and engagabungugn right away. I don't like blowing up newer players when I don't have to; I've certainly gone to Penny in the past to deal with pirates and such though.
On the topic of non-Liberty transports.. If you're a generic id'd from Liberty, you're fine. Otherwise without extenuating circumstances you're generally toast as it should be hehe.
Bribes are an iffy subject though. We attack pirates for extortion for personal gain and aren't allowed to ask for credits, don't know how it would go rules-wise if we accepted bribes and whether or not it would be viewed as pirating credits. I don't look down on indie Xenos if they do that, we've never really done that in my time though just because A) most RP chars people make are extremists that don't want your money and B) it's a very thin line in the rules and the last thing we want is it worded improperly resulting in one of our members getting a sanction.
For bounties, I can definitely look into getting us on the USI board low key. Technically we're not engaging targets for a bounty so I don't think there's an issue with that.
