No, the video was not intended to support my case. It's just published for us to laugh at, as indeed I was ~30 seconds away from a cool 50mil and got pizzowned instead.

Hey, even from a mathematical point of view, you only stood to lose 12% of your total profit if you'd just handed the bobby on the beat his paycheck. Dunno about you, but getting 88% of my dosh sounds better than 0% of it. Just sayin'.

It's the principle of the matter. 8|

Hey, can't blame the BPA for wanting to get their 6 mios, and can't blame Hone for wanting to get his blue message.

"Pay me now or die, trial after, guilty until proven innocent"

Justice at it's finest.

Hey dont blame me, been BPA policy since before I joined. I questioned the leader about it being a "guilty until proven innocent" system, myself when I was just a constable. But Incindre pointed out to me we could hardly hold a trial in space, or let the suspect get away to the planet to hold one.

As for Blue message, anyone who knows me knows the Money is what I care about first and foremost. And ye, freelancer is a bit of a dystopia. XD

Don't worry, the cargo was safely brought to Southampton

Given that there aren't any rules broken, technically not TBF. Will see if another mod wants to lock it given I've involved myself as a player. Then again, some implied 3.4 with "//recording"..?

BPA acted correctly, I would do the same thing, the Cryer was total lolwut actually trying to abuse his oorp knowledge that nothing happens if you die in game in order to get away.
Pretty lame RP considering the fact that he didn´t even bothered to rename the ship that according to him was destroyed and the pilot was killed after his previous problems with the law.
If the BPA pilot was more experienced in RP he could nail him using this fact as well.
If you does not like such actions from the BPA side consider penalties by ship death as good alternative to enhance the game play-sadly, given this kind of poor RP environment there is no other way to enforce the law.

I really like this type of game consequences ignorance - at one side you loose the top tier transport ship that costs 180m and get no punishment but a excuse why you should not pay for your crimes. On the other side you prefer to loose another 60m for real this time combined with the another 180m virtual money instead paying 6 m. It is not logical action from RP standpoint but it is np since you can go to powermine/powertrade 2 hours later and make the lost money in 1 hour or less.
One would say the next logical step of BPA is to FR5 you using the evidence from the first crime, even so none stops the cryer pilot to rename the vessel and make one bpa bribe.Poor RP environment sadly.
This case really shows why there should be punishment for ship death and why the trading needs to be tuned down with 50% at least, also the FR5 should be permanent- even ID or Name or Account change should not be possible to fix it- otherwise it is not worth it even to file one since it could be undone with 2 m for rename and 1 m for bribe. If you get FR5ed- just go to sell your ship to NPC for scrap if you want to be with clear rep again- simple as that.

If they'd renamed the ship then I'd have just charged Cryer| as a faction for a small one-time offence. However, Fro came back a third time and paid his fines, so the ship is legal again. Will still send word to Cryer| at some point, thought not as... drastic as it would have been.
