Controlling NPC to attack hostiles.

[Reverend Del]

You challenge me, eh? Nice way to go about business.

Let's start with my own recent proclamation as Liberty Rogue Leader forbidding GBs and larger, or in fact anything non-LR docking on Alcatraz. Suddenly that becomes enforceable with a command, when the general consesus was that it shouldn't be enforced.

Player A gets pirated by player B, Player A then decides that Player B's trader won't get to dock on his intended station next time Player B is trading.

Player C is a pissed off lawful, he decides to make up any RP excuse he can find to make the local bases hostile to anyone trying to land.

Player D has a friend Player E, Player D wants to kill a pirate that's run away, Player E logs onto his pirate of the same faction and makes the base hostile. Ergo the pirate has to flee further, doing it at the right time means that the pirate dies.

Hasving a command that can be abused in any number of creative and amusing fashions would require us to have even more rules against it's abuse. Which, I may point out, has been something complained of as late.

It's simpler not to have the system in the first place.
