Yesterday I took Klaudia's ship through NB and a BH sees me and says, "Engaging Junker" Then he starts charging at me and opens fire. So I fire back and do some damage, cease fire, and tell the BH to back off. He did so for it was reasonable to assume Klaudia had the advantage.
I then demanded that he explain his actions, and why he attacked me. His answer was as follows: "Because you are Junker."
My bay had crew and scrap metal, no bh pilots no illegal cargo and I don't believe their to be a bounty on her ship. However the simple truth is Junkers are not kos by bh just for being Junkers. I explained to this guy that although our factions don't like each other we are not kos. I said if a Junker has illegal cargo and doesn't drop it for you..kill him. If a Junker has bh pilots in hold...you can attack. If a Junker is attacking other bh you are clear to help against the Junker. If the police are after a Junker you may join in, or if there is a bounty for that Junker. He thanked more for explaining it to him, claiming he was still getting used to the rp of a BH.
I talked to cowboy later that day and I asked why he never tried to kos my Junkers. His response was that we were not enemies, and he agreed with my statements in the paragraph above. We need a good BH player like him to create a written guide for prospective BH players and players already BH that don't quite get the role. A guide for mercs wouldn't hurt either.
Also BHL sam loved to attack my Junkers just for being Junkers. He even fired on me once after he gave his word that he wouldn't. He claimed he wanted to see the Junker Id. After reading it he said, "It says you can pirate and demand cargo."
I responded by saying, "Yeah, but I don't!" (Which is true, we(we as in the Grau family) don't pirate.)
He said, "Well it says you can, and therefor you are pirate." He then proceeded to open fire again after having said he would not.
A few days prior to that he felt that he had the right to demand I leave nb space when I had no illegal cargo and was in a mining ship. Now, do bh actually have the right to demand you leave space that is not theirs? If RM says leave I will, if SA or LSF or any other police force says to leave police space I will, but what right does a bh have to do that?
