One thing I'm quite big on is fair play, and certainly when I'm present I try to ensure this (when I'm in command at least), so keeping the battleships back was something my guys know I expect, and was enforced by the Iowa.
Although, I will ask, on behalf of my guys, that you don't shoot your own NPC's for bots. It's a viable tactic, but a bit strange when corsairs shoot corsair NPC's... Hugging can be very annoying too, considering we was telling the BAF| players to not hug the Battleships to keep it fair for you.
Apart from that, this could be quite good in future, we just ask you work on those points as it made things quite frustrating for us.
Thanks!
I appreciate that somebody in BAF| finally got around showing what fairplay is to the faction.
However, I think we proved that we are capable, we didn't need to kill our NPCs to drop 1 nanobot at a time, we simply trapped your fighter(s) who dropped more than that.
A lone Molly Barghest is being shot by Freelancer Sutinga contracted by Bretonians, BMM- Freighter and BAF| Solaris GB is shooting me. Suddenly, a wild BAF| gunboat appears and heads his way. Shall that Molly player interpret this as ooRP sign that he is absolutely unwelcome in Bretonia and people will log all the possible ships to gank the crap out of him?

Now, I'm not a part of the BAF, but if I understand you correctly, what you're asking for is that players approach situations with a mentality of basic decency and fairplay?
As BAF| 2IC, I'll be replying to your question and the interaction from the BAF|, BMM, Bowex) PoV.
Basically, the Molly player attacked a convoy with GB escorts and other escorts. From what I have been told the RP the Molly player supplied was slightly above minimum. The players online in those ships were more than willing to RP with the Molly. However, the Molly jumped straight into the "2millordie" - according to the players I have spoken to. The Molly was not shot at for oorp reasons, quite the opposite. He pirated a convoy and so the convoy kind of got it's revenge. I believe the Molly ended up getting support from a Hessian cruiser which destroyed one of the GBs.
So in short the answer is no: The Molly player should not believe the convoy wanted to "gank the crap" out of him.
I hope this clarified a bit more of what happened on the other screens and what the other players were thinking and acting upon. If you have any more queries then feel free to post here.

Hey, is it just me or BMM ordered to attack me?
So anyways, 2 Gunboats on top of Freighter and VHF against one Barghest is legit behaviour. Gotcha.
The first thing you said was clearly a set message. Why should the convoy want to RP with someone who says that as the first thing? If you're moaning about a simple gank then I don't see the real need to post here anymore as they occur anywhere and everywhere. Don't say you haven't ganked anyone before because we all have ( :
Maybe you should bring some back up to take on a whole convoy by yourself next time?
I cannot believe that you pulling this as an explanation.
Again, why did BAF| launched a second Gunboat against a Bomber who was engaged by BAF| Solaris CAU Gunboat, BMM- Freighter and hired VHF. Was that not enough? Or was there an ooRP message along the lines of "get the heck out before we call whole BAF| roster on you?"
I love how defensive you got. And how you tried shifting blame on me for lack of roleplay when it was Bretonians who started shooting first.
This is hilarious. Nothing changed since last time I was playing as Molly. Goodbye and I hope you choke on being ganked back.

Okay. Still not sure how the above is relevant to the below though.

Were you yourself not planning on using any aggression to back up your demands? If not, that confusion is indeed highly regrettable! However, said confusion would probably stem from the fact that in the past you've generally opened fire on us immediately (or very shortly thereafter), and invariably demanded we drop all of whatever we're carrying.
