Junker ID - Specification

[Officially_that_Guy]

Howdy everybody!

So today I have been wondering - the Junker ID has a pretty clear set of rules, but would Junkers really stand idly by while they see Freelancers carrying captured Junkers?

Junker ID

Pilot carrying this quasi-lawful ID is a member of the Junkers, who:
- Can attack any ships in self-defense, to protect another Junker ship, or in defense of a Junker base.
- Can demand cargo and credits from ships outside of Rheinland, Liberty and Bretonian house space, and attack them if they do not comply.
- Can attack Xenos and Hogosha anywhere.
- Cannot use any transport with more than 4,300 cargo.

The defense of Junker bases and ships is fairly obvious and applies to all players, but wouldn't it be far more realistic for Junkers to actually try and free their brethren? In my understanding of Junker RP any Junker would ask Freelancers to drop their brothers or CONVINCE Freelancers to drop them by force if necessary.

I do not intend this to be a justification to attack random players, but effectively ships carrying Junkers HAVE attacked them at some point and are obviously not friends of them - who would let his family members get kidnapped and not do anything about it?


I asked an [Angel] about it from an RP perspective, but just got the answer of the ID. Does anybody else feel as I do?

P.S.: The LSF, Navy and LPI may do so - sure, they are the lawful representatives in Liberty space, but why would the other factions simply ignore their own being held captive?
