Hone's thread of rule removal.

[matskiuk]

"6.6 Aggressors are not allowed to destroy a trade vessel prior to issuing a demand, in system or local chat, and allowing sufficient time to respond. Demands may be cargo, credits or an RP demand, such as leaving the system. "Halt" is not a demand. You must say more than this to ask a ship to stop however you may destroy them if they attempt escape.

Sometimes, a pirate just wants to kill you and take all your stuff. Now I generally wouldnt advise attacking a transport without a demand, as you're more likely to be able to cut a deal that benefits you both if you talk to him, but sometimes a silent ambush is the best tactic. And it is INRP. Its not nice, but its INRP for a pirate not to be nice. It's another popular sanction which wastes the admin's time, and a /1 drop all your cargo message has pretty much the same effect anyway. im not saying its preferable to have silent attackers, Im just saying its not worth having a rule against it."


ok so what your saying is, a pirate can just open fire if he wants?

so can a fleet of transports just open fire if they want aswell without anything being said?
