Rule 6.7

[Govedo13]

I agree, but the problem here is that the spirit of the rule is to protect traders from being pirated by cruisers/battleships, but pirates are essentially abusing that protection to do whatever they want right in front of capships that are helpless to do anything about the piracy happening right in front of them.

This is not entirely true.
1.Capships can give their regens to the transport. Any transport with more then 1000 bots and bats and au8 should be able to survive long enough to dock to the nearest base if it is attacked only by other transport.
2. You can put your capital ship between the fleeing trader and the attacking transport in order to absorb damage.
3. Capships belonging to official factions can shoot the transport in their home space.

You cannot change the rule like proposed because it will be one-sided only. If you are really against this rule you should be prepared to be robbed by pirate cruisers. What Zelot said- the rule is there to protect the players from themselves. My suggestion before you post here is to use search- this topic is discussed one million times,no point to say the same stuff over and over again.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
