ok, looking at the rules it clearly says that capital ships cannot attack or demand cargo from traders,
7.12 Trader ships are: freighters, utility ships, miner, transports, trains.
Pirates and terrorists have a right to deal as much damage as they see fit before demanding money, but killing trader ship before demanding money is not allowed.
Attacking traders or demanding cargo is not allowed for cruisers and battleships, unless cruisers and battleship belong to Terrorist ID or Phantom ID owner.
as i was clearly trading and although could have been classed as a pirtae but was not asked to drop my cargo
.7 Owners of Military/Police IDs have a right to attack:
- Pirates
- Traders ships carrying smuggled goods and refusing to drop them
and anyway as carrying light arms is not technically smuggling then I should not have been attacked.
I for one belive that I am free to carry arms to pirate bases without threat of destruction by the authorities, obviously I would expect pirates to attack.rob me or the Police to ask me to drop cargo if they are not in a capital ship.
I think this issue has been clarified and I think everybody needs to agree to this interpretation of the rules and sign up to it. Perhaps an admin could add a console message to this effect?
I can see sir_grumpy's point but just trying to make an "honest" living dontchaknow!!!
