I do agree to RP consequences. But when the player clearly aims to destroy my ship for ~40 minutes without any advance in damaging me, that's another thing.
And a RP consequence should be flexible. I gave hauler a choice to drop the cargo or be destroyed. I stated that three times.
Unlike that BHG that did not said a word after going ~"I see you are worth some credits" -> pew pew.
But this ain't about it.
Let's not raise this incident again, shall we?
