Hessian dos and don'ts

[Gondoros]

Can a hessian:
1. Attack to defend a player with a pirate ID and freelancer IFF ?
2. Attack a transport without making a demand ?

Edit: In both cases we are talking about a transport being attacked

[Krmloo]

1. Depends on attackers (not as defence, but as "engaging enemy")
2. Only if carrying Artifacts

Edit: Still same.

1. Depends on attackers (not as defence, but as "engaging enemy")

The pirate is attacking a transport, which is not carrying artifacts.

The pirate is attacking a transport, which is not carrying artifacts.

Then you can, as permitted by Hessian ID, (if you is in Hessian ZOI ofc), attack that pirate (not as "Defending ally", but as "Attacking independent pirate") if he isn't also in transport. There should be more RP that engagement notice, but anyway.
As from RP side, Hessians don't usually like independent pirates, as they are revolutioners, not pirates.

I'll make this clearer the hessian is not attacking the pirate, he's attacking the transport, helping the pirate.

Ugh. Well, you can't attack transport without demand then. Also seems a bit strange under this circumstances.

Yup that's what I thought.
