LPI attempting authority over LNS?

[Sarawr!?]

'Hey cop this is an military order: Get lost at once.'

Problem solved.

Basically this.

I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna make an RL to Disco comparison. Jah help us all.

Military personnel (and FBI types) actually need orders/warrants from higher ups to be able to 'ignore' cops. Unless you have the proper approval when you're telling the police to buzz off, you're being a total tool.

You can't run around like you've got clearance from the President himself to do whatever you like. It's slightly powergamey and very annoying.

This would be a workable example if Freelancer had a planetside component in which people could run around in ground vehicles or on foot. However, in the current situation, it's more like if an NYPD harbor patrol unit cruised out into the ocean and tried to stop a Coast Guard Cutter for a 'routine check', This wouldn't happen, and you can bet the Coast Guard ship would tell the NYPD to sod off if it did.

Space, is like the ocean, it is primarily patrolled by each House's military force, just as a nation's territorial waters are patrolled by Navies in real life, as such, those military units have the 'higher' authority there, though that doesn't mean that they're the only ones excersizing power in the area, or that they can't work with other groups.

Stopping a warship full of hundreds of Navy personnel, in space, is not comparable to stopping a car full of drunk sailors or soldiers at a sobriety checkpoint near a military base.

RP is all well and good, but had that Cruiser been mine, I would've told the LPI to screw, because that's my right, inRP.

The bottom line is that this is all inRP, and it's a situation resolvable through RP, there is no reason for a forum thread like this, filled with so much rage, to exist.

GO AND PLAY THE GAME, AND RP YOUR WAY OUT OF SITUATIONS.
