It would seem like a cluster of fornicating misunderstandings. I was there in the Britannia.
1) The complaint about the HF ship was only that switching to his trader while his HF ship was still in Cambridge would put an openly hostile ship in our system as soon as he logged into it again. He left the system, switched to his trader, and was not in any way interacted with when he entered Cambridge. You, in fact, were still there when this happened. Easy thing to miss, but I believe he understood the reasoning.
2) I, personally, fired upon the cricket before you were asked to leave the system, and had no problems dropping his shield. hitboxes are not exactly correct on all ships. many times I have watched my shots pass right through a section of hull without damaging the ship. I hit the model, but not the hitbox. My guess is a combination of dodging and a lack of luck caused your fire to be ineffectual.
Edit: 10 bonus points for sticking up for another player when you felt they were being treated in an unfair manner. 9 points deducted for temper induced accusations of cheating. 9 bonus points because I could have done the same thing. Don't feel the need to be anonymous, anyone who singled you out for some form of retribution would find a price on their heads with a remarkable quickness. Also, it would be quite proper to apologize to the offended party.
Warhorse, I can assure you that Aeon isn't a modder. I doubt he'd even know how... and I've known him for a long time, so don't bother trying to dispute that. Dodging in a Bret GB isn't hard at all, I have one.
The HF player's trader might've been tagged as an HF, HF are barred from Cambridge regardless of the class of vessel. In Cambridge, SF word is law. If you interfered in SF buisness, they have the full right to request that you leave. Interfering on the side of the Hellfire legion, especially when they are barred from the system on penalty of death, is not a smart move, doubly so because of your class of ship.
I'd be willing to help you get set up too, if you want the help. But leaving the server over this will not solve anything.
EDIT: Sunergos posted before me, so the stuff about the HF trader is no longer valid. Good point on the hitbox too.

lol koolmo, its true... im way too lazy to put in the effort to edit all the text files etc...
anyways, i expect an apology for the cheating accusation.
im also willing to help you with some start up money if you need it. and also, feel free to shoot Cricket ingame (ooc of course) and test the shields, i can assure you they work exactly the way they should.
Without screenies, I can't do anything as there is no proof of the invulnerable shields and the F1. Next time, print screen when something like that happens.

Well the =BSG= did see this after , and let it go.
Warhorse, you had both your pirate RH bomber(MMZwarhorse) in Cambridge and your Bounty Hunter Reinland Cruiser (Warhorse) there. The fact that you can use your Bounty hunter to get intelligence on the location of potential targets for your pirate, do a quick switch and attack, then go back to your Bounty hunter(which is what you did,) like nothing ever happened is why you were ordered out of Cambridge. FireAnt was perfectly justified in making the order to have you removed, one way or the other. You accomplished the same feat weeks ago when BSG was policing cambridge: The last warhorse incident which is why we ordered both of your ships out of system then as well. Your trading character/Bounty hunter character is consistently seen in coordination with pirates.
You seem to be somewhat of a flameartist Warhorse but I'll take the bait anways. You have accused BSG of breaking rules, going against RP, being bullies, whatever But I challenge you to look at the situation in our eyes. Put a little more thought into your actions, have a reason for placing your characters in the spots they are in and accept the concequences thereof. Do SOMETHING, rather than sit around in the most heavily populated system in Sirius watching for road kill and blood to vulch on. Decide whos side you are on, and stick to it.
F1 during any engagement is against server rules:
My pics are usually too dark, but here we see Warhorse F1ing. I don't care to see Warhorse banned, but I would appreciate some honesty and transparency when we start attacking the image of another faction.
Firstly, I was the HF ship Steve.McCloud. I completely support the SF in their decision to not let me F1 in their system. I would do the same thing for Vespucci. I did not tell Warhorse to make this post or anything else, I've never met the guy before. I don't support him.
The SF and BSG were in RP, and they did the right thing.
The only reason i came into Cambridge is that a pirating was going on, Aeon was getting pirated. He wanted some help, so i brought my bomber and to my surprise, an SF ship was just sitting there while Skylanzer and Sidewinder were pirating Aeon! I confronted him, and said it was RP to kill me, as HF are KoS. I said i just wanted an answer. He shot anyway. The ship was [SF]SFBS-Brittanica (I think.) The Fireant was also on the scene. Could someone contact Firebird or Hyperwave and inform them of this?
In this case. I was surprised at the SF's complete disregard for RP. It was blatant anti-RP, and then all of a sudden he saw me, and shot. Weird.
Warhorse, i appreciate the support, but SF was in RP, except for the second incident.
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.

K, trying to figure this one out...
Aeon was being pirated and called HF for help, what ship did Aeon have to make things clear?
Aeon was being pirated by Skylanzer and Sidewinder, and your saying the SF vessels were sitting back and watching?
When you show up, you confront Brittanica about just sitting and watching, he replies "it was RP to shoot HF since KOS", you reply wanting an answer but instead he then opens fire on you, this while the pirating is still occurring?
Some responses from both sides should figure this one out.
No... the pirating was over. Aeon was killed. I then entered the system after he was killed in his trader, and then the whole thing commenced. I have some screenies, but they're bad ones, they dont really prove anything. I'll PM them if ya want.

I don't believe I was present in the system at the time of the reported piracy.
I heard something mentioned about it but there was a lot going on at the time.
Well... I think Fireant came after, but brittania was definitely just sitting there.
