Fab, I get your issue. DTR has a strong presence and shoots any hostile trying to mine the relics, people log Corsair alts, you are either forced to watch them or make Nomad alts to shoot their Corsair alts, which I'm hoping everyone agrees is ridiculous and goes against any logical nature of a roleplay server. However, you still have to act within the rules which state:
Faction Right 1 Wrote:Faction Right 1. 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 second in command(s) of the faction. 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. In case of IDs with multiple official factions, this right can only be used if the faction leader of each make a unified decision to exercise it.
Only DTR's 1ic and 2ic can enforce canon Corsair roleplay consequences (not DTR rules) upon Corsair indies, and only if the indies are breaking canon lore, which Xeno Relics aren't. If there's anything to suggest, it would be gathering as much evidence as possible of people mining Xeno Relics on Corsair ships and then transferring them to hostile factions and filing a VR, rather than engage in direct rule breaking. Be careful it doesn't backfire.
