Rule clarification

[Laowai]

Laowai, your choice to be a pirate, and the rules differ slightly for them in this circumstance, as it would come
under the 'pirating with a battleship' title, so you cannot do it.
Either have fighter backup, or police with a gunboat. The rules are there, please work with them, not around.

ok... it seems a double standard to me - . As i said, i wasn't trying to work around the rules, it just seemed odd to me that cops can use cap ships on trade ships, but pirates can't. What i suspected that happened was that the rules were drafted, with the best of intentions, but without seeing this eventuality ie. that a pirate would want to intercept a cargo, not tax it... and thus creating a disparity....but rules are rules, so ok, I'll stick by 'em.

anyway... end of discussion.

saving up for a gunboat:)
