Switch character revenge for their trader..

[Korrd]

Hmm... I don't like where this is going...

Korrd didn't say all switching is okay. He just said switching to another character who met the criteria he gave is allowed. That being: Ship was on the same base and in the same faction or aligned friendly to the original ship. This certainly doesn't mean a person who just died in battle can go grab another ship and start shooting the guys who killed him.

Granted, in the case X-Lancer outlined, if the battleship launched from Harris and is in the same faction (Same tag, at least) or in a faction friendly to the trader, then I see no problems, according to Korrd's outline. The trader didn't die on his way to the planet, so it was entirely possible he could find his buddy on the surface and send him out to battle. If anything doesn't match up, send the report and screenshots in.

Correct. Fwolf, don't place words on my mouth.

Being an IMG trader, and then docking on a planet and getting a ,for example, Outcast character is not allowed.
Being a trader, and then docking on a planet and getting a char which is not in the same base is not allowed.

The idea is that the pilot left his cargo ship landed, ran through the space dock to a different hangar and took off with a fighter in order to drive the pirate away. Not that the pilot magically teleported (switched chars) from his trader, which also cloaked (F1) and got his pirate and completely-hostile-to-his-trader battleship (which also is 120958235 light years away) in order to kill another [friendly to his new char] pirate. The former is ok, the latter will get you banned.


EDIT:

Now that i think it better, forget about switching chars. No matter if the char is friendly and is on the same base.
If you need protection against pirates, HIRE AN ESCORT.

Switching characters will get you badly fined. (and by badly i mean at least 50% of your credits, and possibly your ship converted into a starflier).
