As it states, can enemies interdict the other's traders due to intense hostilities or War?
Ex: Outcasts vs. Corsair-Colonial alliance.
I am aware of "no touchy-touchy" of traders by Crusiers and up for pirating, but curious on question of intense hostility and War.

I mean destroy! I wish to gut the Colonial Merchant Marine in combat vessels. Not for profit, but for cathartic sake:)
In days of old, it was done very often...hehehe...the War of SA vs. everyone it was routine, but in this day and age not sure.

It is all a question of ID. CR's ID does not allow them to stop smugglers or traders, so unless the ship in question is wearing an Outcast ID, they can't do anything about it. Now we all know most Cardi smugglers carry the smuggler ID and not the Outcast ID, Same with Corsairs. Now the Pirate ID and the Military/Police/BH ID allow stopping of smugglers and Traders, but Corporate ID's do not, so CR is left in the situation of not being about to stop Cardi smugglers.
Edit: I think blindly going after their traders is poor form, but possibly within the rules.

Well in Bretonia if we see a trader trade for the benefit of Kusari,we ask him to drop is cargo and leave,if he refuse,we destroy it.
We cant let trader help our ennemi during the war

If we get a CR trader in Alpha we blow it up. No questions asked, enemy convoy, probably carrying something valuable to an enemy, we let fly with everything we have.

A thread on a similar subject.

Depends on ID. If it is an IMG (or other faction that isn't a trade specific ID) ID you can treat it like it was a combat ship. (This is on the fairly radical assumption that my reading of the rules is correct)
The RoS have a fleet of OC tagged and ID'd pirate trains and transports. We havbe no problems with them being engaged much as we would be in our sabres or falcatas. Infact we regard it as rather good fun.
