OK here is the deal. No one broke a rule and I am not going to name names here but... Today I witnessed a certain Corsair pilot using a the BAF BS MacDuff in Tau-31 as a shield of sorts against a gentleman trying to protect traders there. At one point that lawful individual hit the MacDuff while shooting this Corsair and now all of a sudden the BAF NPC's and the MacDuff are now fighting on the side of the Corsair Pirate. The only reason this irritated me was that someone did this to me once in Cambridge.
Now I think this is a very cheap and un-RP practice. BAF and the Corsairs are enemies, yet these pirates are allowed to duck and dodge behind one of their battleships. Then when one of that NPC's allies (an SF, a RepEx, etc.) accidentally hits that BS, ooop now those NPC's fight alongside their enemy.
I dont know how we could change this or make it against the rules, but its very irritating and does not fit into RP at all, in any capacity. I feel it is far less RP than many of the things that are rules on this server.
Opinions?
