I have just been informed that no Mercenaries or Freelancers are in Rhienland. As a Freelancer, is there some 'paperwork' that I need to fill out to be allowed in Rhienland? Because it appears that this has been in effect for a while, and I have been around the RM for this duration, and visa versa, because Rhienland is where I get most of my Wilde kills. No one has ever mentioned Freelancers being banned before to my IC. So I gotta wonder. I always thought I had a good reputation with the RM, even helped out a few times (Didn't do much though).
While being quite funny, your sig was the biggest one i've ever seen so far. No more than 700x250 please. ~utrack http://pastebin.com/SYQXBufs
This is an all systems broadcast. Rheinland has been plagued by few Mercenaries who believe they can make a quick penny by eliminating my men. We have done nothing to warrant these attacks by them, and as things are... There is still reason for our caution of mercenaries for there is still a bounty on the head of a sole pilot of ours. He is being kept safe until the bounty is called off... However, we have been attacked on numerous occasions by mercenaries who seem to kill without rhyme or reason. They are lower than the Hessians in my eyes. Only greed drives them, there is no deeper belief.As such, anyone who can bring the head of either Perfect.Circle[Merc] or Defiance[Merc] to me, I will grant them amnesty in Rheinland and their name will placed on the "clear" list, so long as they do not fly hostile colors. This means that both of these fellows are to be given no chances in our around Rheinland space and are to be executed on site. Military ships are to be cautious and open fire without hesitation. They have no rights, other than a quick death.We will not tolerate hostilities in Rheinland. The only ones who should be shooting are my own men! Anything else in unacceptable. They are to be made example of.Niklaus ReinhardtChancellor of RheinlandNew Berlin, New Berlin
I was the one who instated the ban. The reason Freelancers are banned is because the ID allows them to take Bounty from the unlawful side, and attack Lawful forces. And sorry, there are a lot of idiots who would abuse that right and attack any Lawful force they can get their hands on. So? I banned anyone with a Freelancer or Merc ID until the Bounties on the RM are lifted.
Now, we so have a safe list however. Currently Virus and I are in charge of it, and you gotta give us a good reason on why you will not ever attack RM or any lawfuls within Rheinland. You can do it anywhere else if you want, we won't care, but you won't do it in Rheinland.
Contact me VIA PM if you want to get on the clear list. Until then, you have three options. Don't come to Rheinland, Follow orders, or die. Sorry mate.
Theoretical question: What about underpowered ships, for example a freelancer starblazer. Is a ship like that considered dangerous for RM? Or is there a limit for "safe" weapons?
