the demand of 74 was received as very poor taste. - as if you re already starting to share the stuff of someone that died 5 minutes ago in his death bed - and now you re discussing who gets what.
it may have been better to really wait for a week or two. ( if the faction had disbanded - chances that the system was claimed again were small, cause OSI and TAZ are settled - and by the new rules, no other zoner faction could have risen up )
about the BHG incident and the nomad samples:
it was perceived as a serious incursion into the privacy of the zoners. - yes, you CAN claim nomads....
but lets be truthful. - a bounty hunter also does not claim nomad samples in the LSF guard system surrounded by LSF players. - why does he not do it, even if the ID and rules tell him he "can"? - cause its the wrong thing to do.
the BHG were next to FP11, playermade rules or not - it was next to the station. - demanding nomad samples in the middle of delta is no problem ( and from what i know - has never caused a problem ) - but sitting with half a fleet next to a station that is not yours - and demanding something from the owners of said station was perceived as "inproper".
about bombers asking etc.
in piracy we have a nice rule. - you cannot pirate others when you re grouped or together with a capital warship. - no matter if its the bomber doing the asking - its the whole fleet that is being recognized as a threat.
thats just a little explanation. - both incidents have caused some indignation ( but then - both incidents were in the past and hardly of any concern today anymore )
