Thank you for your invaluable input...

I have only one point that makes no sense to me at all.
Magoo put it under the number 3, and I would like to see that discussed.

A ship named Plato had Cardamine in it's hold. Fact.
A ship named Plato was asked to drop it's contraband by lawful forces. Fact.
LN interfered in a way they shouldn't. Fact.

Now, how did they interfere? Imagine a CIA agent sniffing some drug in front of Wall Street.
Cops comes buy, tries to arrest him, but something happens now.
Yeah, Delta team is going in, shooting all the cops down, and saving the innocent CIA agent, because he's an informant.

Point being, how is a -SPECIAL TREATMENT- helping him stay an informant?
If anyone can explain this to me, I'll jump of the roof.
Any normal informant would drop the cardi, go to prison, get out of prison due to his connections.
He wouldn't start a bloody civil war over it.

He should have dropped the cardamine and payed the fine. FACT!

As it is now, it just looks to me that he was one of the buddies from skype, and didn't want to waste 20 mins long run, so he PM-ed a LN buddy from skype.
I don't know if that's the truth, I'm just saying how it 'looks' because of wrong reactions.

I am not going into it any further, I don't know if those two fellas rammed you or not, not like it's important at all.
What I do care about is an non-RP act (now I'm gonna get shot by Hyung-Song) is presented as a flawless RP.

I hope it's gonna get fixed in the future.

As for LN cap spammage, that's pretty much untrue. I spend some time in Liberty and LN are usually spammed by all kinds of crappy capital ships (OC made usually), and they don't bring out the big guns, usually.

Also, one more thing that goes in my 'skype friends' story, and which I'm sure most people don't even know about.

I undock from Manhattan to find 101st MNS Fantasia in Manhattan's orbit.
Since I have a deal with one of LN leaders for the bounty, I gather a few more mercenaries.
Of course, since one Liberty dread was around there too, I asked for permission to fire.
Guess what?
"Attention. MNS-Fantasia is not to be fired uppon! It is a friendly vessel!"

WHAT?

Hello? Manhattan's orbit? What the hell happened there?
Of course, then I contacted another high-ranking LN officer and he told me to ignore the Dreadnot orders, which I did.
But still, the point is, keep your 'skype buddies' on skype, treat them as you should in game.

Wow...Do ANY of you know what happened?

Not really.


I was MORE than 10k away from Manhattan. Waiting for a select few of the LN to get on to continue roleplaying. The navy tagged (not LN-<name>), just tagged, BATTLE CRUISER pulls up to me.

No roleplay was attempted on his part, I'm in a slipstream and still managed to make a decent attempt at roleplaying while having my wings shot off. He was in NO danger from me.

Exact words "Pirate spotted"

A few "No"'s here and there when I asked him to stop and told him that I had a diplomatic immunity of sorts.

And after some other person blew me up (Mind you Slipstream vs Battle Cruiser and some Gunboat I think....Hmm...One sided fight I'd say.) All he said was "Pirate Eliminated"

He did NOT scan me (to my knowledge).
He did NOT demand my cargo to be dropped.
He did NOT attempt to roleplay of any sort.

And seeing how he roleplays on the forums (kudos for the most part) he had the ability to do so at ANY point in time. But chose not to.


I'm 100% sure that this whole issue cold have been avoided if he would have made an attempt to role play.

And I may have skype...but I have a grand total of 5..yes FIVE! skype contacts. None of them being in the LN.

And as for LN not bringing out the big guns when they don't need to? Not true.

Cardi smuggler pops into Texas. Face to face with 2 cruisers, 2 gunboats and a fighter. Hmm....Necessary? Doubt it.


And there was no special treatment. There was NO roleplaying on his part. EVER. I wasn't shooting, I wasn't pirating, I wasn't even MOVING when he came up. And for roleplaying purposes I had all my weapons turned off to assure anyone who came along that I wasn't hostile and I was just waiting.

He came after me based on my IFF and ID. Not because of my cardi, not because I was disturbing the peace (which I wasn't), not because I was doing something I shouldn't. He came after me because he wanted to blow something up.

Now let's see:

1. No RP stating reasons for engagement.
2. No RP stating the target of any sort. Just "Pirate Spotted"
3. No asking me to drop my cardi, pay a fine, and take me to jail.
4. No reason for engagement other than my ID and IFF.
5. Ramming a cap ship after being asked to stop. (sorry I've no reason not to believe Vince on this one)

I think all of these are a sign of a PvP whore.

Honestly. SLIPSTREAM vs. BATTLE CRUISER.

Need I say more?

You like facts?

Look at them.

We all know what they say happens when you assume things.
