Impossible demands?

[Binski]

Let us back up a moment here.

The person in question was stopped by us and told that we would be taking their guns. This is a demand with a loss to the person in a same manner that asking credits or cargo being dropped is. I think you are reading too much into how this ties in with the server rules, but are ignoring the roleplay aspect of the situation. The ship was stopped for the big baddies to disassemble their weapon systems. I am very sorry, but due to the games engine limitations, I cannot remove your guns without shooting them. But that is the point - if you had complied and sat still, just like many people before you, the guns would have been removed from you without your hull even taking a scratch.

This whole thread is rather nonsensical. It is just people trying to find something to be angry about, while completely ignoring the CONTEXT that the encounter took place in.

That's the problem man, you can't remove them without shooting them off? You can't see the difference as to how transferring cash or cargo is not the same as letting someone have to shoot at you period. Don't apologize for the limitations, recognize them and know when you're crossing the line. You may not have had trouble thus far but as you now know that only went so far without hitting a bump in the road right?

Although I wouldn't have made a thread on this for a while, I can't help but chime in. I think a line needs to be drawn to discourage people from treating turrets as legitimate pirate bounty and 'having no choice' but to shoot them off to get them. Do your shooting after your demands for something tangeable and aren't getting your way. The shield dropping thing is 'legite' but only to the point where again, do we need to draw the line that dropping shields is the same as a demand to stop? (Or that dropping shields after someone stops IS meeting the demand, so more demands on top wind up being like demanding cash again right after being paid...)

I noticed you demanded both stopping and shields lowered, so the demand to stop gets adhered to under ID rules...then the demand for the shield to go down, so is that the demand? Or is it the turrets? I'm starting to get confused with all these demands to comply to that could land me shot if I don't comply. You don't see the problem with having ID rules and letting anyone who can make demands in their ZOI (for cargo and credits for that matter) just pirate for turrets and kill anyone who won't lower their shields...after stopping? Settle for what the rest of us settle for, demand something valuable, if your time is so important. If you'd demanded 10 mil from me i'd have paid it, and if I had refused, I wouldn't have complained over the outcome.
