This overlong string of "feedback" on one incident is a no-brainer. A member attacked you with two other fighters while you were in a gunboat? That's hardly grounds for any manner of complaint. I think you folks have been around Liberty too much, and you've lost persepctive. Feedback is not the appropriate place to complain because you lost a fight. If someone is grossly "unfair" or breaks a rule, I'll accomodate it...but this is ridiculous.
I don't give a damn about what someone "would" have done. You can no more read the future than anyone else. You wouldn't be complaining here if you had won that fight, right?
All pirates are bountied in Liberty. If another faction wants to stretch the bounds of credibility by doing some deal that's their prerogative. But we won't be ditching our canon rp (i.e hunt criminals not hold their hands) because someone else says so.
We play hunters, we hunt. If you get caught, we will shoot you. "Not every pirate enjoys fighting" - I honestly don't know what to say in response to this. Don't play a pirate. Or maybe just lose all your guns. Or surrender when they come for you. You can't live in a consequence-free world.
Indie" bounty hunters are outside the scope of this thread.
Complaining because their ships weren't equipped to meet the situation that a hunter sprung on them? That's your fault.
