Player Sanctioned: Misfit

[Misfit]

Since the Freelancer ID is not allied to the Liberty Navy ID, you were not assist allied ships in this case.

Are Freelancers allegiances not defined by their individual rep sheet?

Because it seems as though the previous such instances, if there were any, were not reported by the players you have done this against. Had they been, we would have processed them the same.

The previous instances weren't reported because I was already under the employ of the battleship and the other party was aware, and as I've repeatedly stated, I understand that I should have made the other party aware before I fired CDs during their engagement to stop them running away.

Here is my understanding.

I fired CDs at the destroyer while it was trying to run away from the battleship outside Manhattan. That's fine, that's not an attack nor a sanctionable offence.

The battleship then started it's engagement but didn't hire me on the spot like it should have. During the course of their engagement, I fired a couple more CDs to prevent the destroyer from cruising away which is what I've done previously under the employ of the battleship. This is apparently where the problem lies, because apparently firing CDs into an already happening engagement counts as attacking a ship and becoming part of the engagement.

Even though I was paid as normal after the engagement which didn't involve me other than CDs (in fact I'm sure the battleship said something about the usual fee or whatever), we never made it clear before the battleship started it's engagement that we were working together like we usually do.

If that's the case, then yes I understand this sanction and I submit to you taking whatever off my ship and releasing it or however it is these things work.
