Terrorist = Criminal?

[sovereign]

The majoritty of FL faction terrorists (Xenos, Gaians ect.) arn't insane phycopaths but have been branded that by their governments for propaganda reasons and their extreme actions. As a Xeno there was a bit of dicussion on out private forums and on these ones on how we are acctualy any differant from normal pirates. We got an answer from admin saying now we can order to drop cargo instead of taxing monies.

That means trader pulls up, we disrupt order they dropall their cargo, tractor what wecan then destroy the rest of theircargo right in front of em. Makes for a real reason for traders to stay out of ZoI seeig as it for once would be more profitable for them to die. So they find somewhere else to trade. Which is the goal of the Xenos, to get forgein traders out of Liberty. Your answer, terrorists are more extreme than pirates and will more than likely go to further lenghths to reach their goals. For simpilicity NPC are catorgised as criminals, but players shouldn't nessicarily if they're RPing it right.

my 2 cents anyhoo

About getting admin permission to do so, who did you contact? The background I plan to develop for my bundie leans him to be VERY hostile to Daumann-types and anyone hauling diamonds around, so do I need special permission to demand cargo, or can I just do it? In terms of RP, he really wouldn't even bother to grab any of them or tax people, just destroy the diamonds for what they stand for (semi-murderous abuse of workers, like himself before he became bundie)... provided they weren't mined by Hessians. Then he'd probably escort them, actually...

Sorry for off-topic there.

Anyway, the whole ID discussion seems to have popped up again in a lot of threads, so this afternoon I'll go gravedigging and pull out the lost discussion on it, seems relevant now. And, I'm thinking we should get it resolved before next version comes out, seeing as it's so important...

Speaking of such, is there a place I can go look to see how that's coming? People have mentioned bits of it here and there, but I haven't seen anything...
