I chatted on this with Spazzy as Tinkers Leader ...
All Tinkers and Rogues :
Tinkers are expected to offer some pocket money fast. Server min. is 100.000 sc and would be accepted by LR. I would say offer a mil, but then let the Rogues sing a bit...: other pirates around, opportunities for a pickup ect.
We have an agreement between T&T/ and LR- , that Tinkers are no prime targets and recognize the crime lords of LR as a major power in Liberty. We pay a monthly fealty to the crime lords for the safety of the Haven, and "show our respects" in readily offered cash if we meet them underway. So we do NOT WAIT till a demand is issued.
In return we can send a plea for help to LR- any time other pirates show up ( T&T/ : NOT against LH~ , I trust no Tinker would be so stupid and try to play the Rogues against the Hackers as we have an agreement with them too. And I would personally flay the offender if he survives ). So if you get harassed by any Independent Pirate, or if you see an Outcast Cap ship blocking the lanes : hey, tell the local crime scene, it´s their turf after all ?
As for the Thruster shot off : Fair game.
23 mil is no really big loss for a trader character.
We are setting up inRP Insurance at Tinkers for our members to meet "expenses" while in a RP flight or in a bad encounter. If you really think the 23mil are important I will refund you from T&T/Bank.
Now the serious point :
//ooc in chat
ONLY in urgent cases. Best switch to private chat ( green ) , or use inRP in system or local chat. Or just go along, get shot, send me the Logs and a screenshot with timestamp and we will either send a sanction note or sort it out inRP or between factions.
Spazzy and me now have a skype chat open to deal with such issues, and cloggind the faction feedback repeatedly with demande is not what a feedback chat is about.
If you post in a feedback thread : state what you felt, if you like it or not, if you see issues or feel that behaviour should be changed. All else :
send a PM to the faction leader. Or to your own faction leader as we take responsibility for exactly those purposes.
Back to Feedback about LR- :
I am watching the current LR- revivial with mixed feelings.
Torpedoe wing is about LULZ... okay... I will try and evade them :-)
As for the rest :
Currently LR- sems to be pulling in the right direction, setting up a crazed and agressive group of Pirates.
As I quoted in Skype before :

LR is a troll and PvP faction, getting high activity because the leader is showing others how to shoot players without getting a sanction ?( FynnMcScrap )

There are a lot of players around that get butthurt, and I have lost players recently becazuse of LOLwhut pirating. Id rather have an active LR cutting out the LOLwhuts , giving my Tinkers a chance to pay off before getting cargo pirated.
Well ... after the chat with Spazzy I take back my angry first comment.
Though I do hope that LR does continue to either chase LOLwhuts away or teach them how to LOLPirate in the server rules.
Pirating is part of the game, if you like it or not.
The deal T&T/ and LR- have is exactly meant to reduce the stress on T&T/traders and skippers. Toss them a few hundred thousand or a mill, be a bit careful about not provoking them, or "bigmouthing them" as Spazzy said in his inRP post from Mort and you will be safe from more.
That is actually not trolling , but normal life in DISCO.
And as the LR- specifically warned that the Thruster is targeted and gave plenty of RP before finally shooting : np with that either.
Sure : getting shot and loosing your cargo is cheaper. But that is ooc too.
inRP : You got away with your life, and will get your Thruster refitted easily.
