Impossible demands?

[Char Aznable]

Here's my question - Why were Rogues pirating Junkers in Liberty? Show us that this wasn't some players just looking for any target to blow up, please.

There's no need to show that. The Dawson Rogues salvage pretty much everything they get their hands on, and if he'd complied, there would have been no bluemessage whatsoever.

Nobody was asked to shoot their own ship. The demand was to disable their shields, or to just sit still for us to do it for them. Then just not move so we could remove the guns. The encounter could have gone perfectly if the person would have stopped writing threats and then complaining about the server rules, instead of actually reading what was being asked from them. Three times.

You don't see the inherent problem with demanding someone lower their shields, take faith you're a good shot, and let you shoot at them unprotected with no guarentees? Again, dropping sheilds...fine, forcing you to comply with being shot is not even close to whats on the ID. If everyone set out tomorrow to pirate people for their turrets, even in their ZOI's, we're gonna have a lot of bad times on our hands. You don't get to just fly up to someone and shoot them, unless you're hunting bounty. If you want to shoot them with the ID you flew, you make your demands, ones outlined on the ID, or if RP, certainly ones that don't involve getting shot already, and then if there is refusal to give up what was demanded, you get to shoot them. SRP for a terrorist ID if you want to prowl to shoot people's turrets off.

As told once already, the shooting of the guns is a substitute for the guns being salvaged off. A sitting Transport with no shields is an easy target to shoot guns off of - I could hit you sitting with a SNAC and not damage your hull easily without even making a dent in your hull. The important point here is that it is a roleplaying substitute. And sure, you're free to not trust the pirate and not follow his demand - but that's where you'll get blued.
