I think where the lawful base thing is coming from is the reps. If a [N] tagged ship can sit out in front of Los Angeles without the NPC's firing at them...there's something wrong here.

As an RP trader, I've seen this happen a lot, especially in NB when the RM aren't around. Pirates can sit in front of the Ring and tax to their little heart's content without getting shot at.

I say if you're pirating infront of anything other than a Police base, go ahead, but the Police bases and planets should be firing back at you.

As for eluding the pirates/police...that's a bit sticky. Think of it like this. The pirate eludes capture in space by going planetside. For instance a NLH docks on base after eluding the BAF (for the sake of arguments, BAF includes the SF and the QC?), the BAF can station someone at that base 24/7 until that pirate comes out, effectively blockading the planet. Is this an option?

just my $.02
