So ryoken. Those 5 'new players' that did a 'restart kusari', -IF they even did so- they did shoot the base. This costs the Black Dragon Society fuel, and is a sign of aggression. CQ they get shot at. Justified.
The most important reason why people get shot, is most likely because they are neutral/friendly with the unlawfuls of kusari (blood dragons, golden chrysanthemums, and the GMG. GMG shoots hogosha and samura, so they're seen as unlawful). Such relations with them on a trade ship most likely means they trade with them. Meaning that the supplies they bring to kusari, just go to the criminals. This is against the best interest of the civilian kusari population, THUS they get shot. Hence, i don't see what the whining is all about. If they are not in the list mentioned and they still get shot, they've done something naughty.
They can easily fix this at any samura station. So if they all spend the time on fixing their rep to be properly repped with Kusari, instead of crying and whining on the forums about how tough they have it and how sad they are, everyone would be alot happier.
Or should i just have people pay the hogosha to have them do missions for their rep? I see a nice profit market here... *goes to the BDS chat*
