Before your post, @Ichiru , I have to admit i completely forgot 2 things:
1) declaring changes to faction diplo on that thread that the admins made (which i have to find now pain-painstakingly to fix this)
2) our reputation being changed to the new one with BD while the old one was way different.
Let me explain how this all makes sense:
Prior to that list of rep, AFC and BD were set to 'friendly' . Why? We had a good alliance and positive RP flowing with them. This changed when they changed their leadership and stated they wanted to revert their contract with us that we did for them by demanding us to give them back their ships that they had prized us with. In addition, they did not like us entering into Chugoku as well. With all this happening, when it was time to make a new statement of affiliations, I had placed BD into the no-dock section becasue they were acting more unfriendly to us. It was simply a reaction to their faction leader change and how they went about treating us. The 'unfriendly-nodock' was a reaction to that. (dont let the color fool you either).
Note that i had completely followed my diplo up to that point. I was acting sceptical but agreed to being on better terms with them. It was, again, their call as to how they would be treating us and we had basically reverted to a more positive state. Additionally you can find @Shizune 's character in our bar. How can that character get there if we are unfriendly? Simple. We had changed our diplomacy.
It is my fault, I admit, that I had forgotten to do the updates. You can see the time yourself and link everything together. All the information is posted of the diplo. Both old and 'new' .
Next is that we were attacking a base be were friendly with? No. And this is becasue 2 reasons:
1 - IC IFF we are not friendly with . Rather we are neutral. Our faction has reputation with others based on our interactions with them. We never really got to RPing with IC.
2 - That base was in AFC territory. Additionally the guy had stated like... 3 times to us that he is claiming Kepler right in our face. That's pretty much, if you look into how we operate, insulting us.
So no. We were not friendly with that base.
Additionally to point it out, freelancers in general we are friendly with at first sight but how many times are then they unfriendly to us back and then shooting us. Quite a bit. Freelancer as an IFF and ID is unstable. I should probably even update that diplo to neutral position but what is stopping me from doing that is that we have a rep-hack to be +9/+10 or whatever it is. In short I had to find a section for it and decided logically that since at first sight we are good with freelancers then ill put it there.
The order was not my call to bring and it was a snub. Probably they were just following BD around or something. Go ask BD about the order or just ask order themselves for an explanation. Order or not, i believe they later moved that ship off. So no a snub cannot seige a base..... There was no cap order ships involved.
In short to summarize, you are right to post and i thank you, but as you can see in the technical side of things we are pretty much covered. It was just a forgot post in the changing of diplo that resulted from this question. I hope this explains your question.
Now if you will excuse me, i have to find that thread.
