ooc Non-Engagement Treaties

[Maza]

So I have a big problem.

Some people like to engage me as soon as possible. Particularly right after I exit a trade lane, JH, JG. This gives me about one second to scan for ID and prepare myself. I really do not like it. It has caused me to become very nervous when I suddenly see someone on my scanner for the first time at 1.5k. And caused me to engage a few folks I would rather not have.

Well if someone attacks you then you have every right to defend yourself:

5.3 If a player is attacked*, he has a right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking. There are no restrictions for self-defense.

*For purposes of these Rules occasional shooting or shooting "for fun" does not count as an attack if it does not result in draining shields to 50% or lower or hull damage. Intentional ramming of any large ship is also considered an attack.

The way i interpret this is that you dont have to scan for an ID(it says no restrictions) if you are sure that the attacker isnt doing it "for fun" but in fact is out to kill you. That makes rule 6.6 void the way i see it...

But i dont know, i might be wrong.
