Rules Wrote:3.1 An attack is any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%. Saying "Engaging" is not sufficient and aggressors are not allowed to destroy a ship before allowing sufficient time to respond. If a player is attacked he has the right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking. Trading nanobots, shieldbatteries or other ammo and equipment during a fight is also considered taking an active role in the engagement.
It is probably a nice RP idea to have a cloaked Dreadnaught handy while you partner attempts to pirate. However, we suggest you decloak first as a bargaining toll if the negotiations are not working. Uncloaking with an OPEN FIRE and instantly unleashing your firepower is not really acceptable.
Consequences:
Guns have been stripped and a sanction notice placed in hold.
