we had the discussion before - if hired, the BHG can hunt them - and if the privateers were together with the really lawfuls of bretonia - it was said that the lawfuls would "keep a distance" and wouldn t associate themselves with the privateers. ( in doubt, the privateer is on his own )
however, its situational - a BHG wouldn t go for a privateer without being attacked or having a contract. - mind, BHGs get attacked left and right. - not a day passes that Cheshire gets shot by even people that in RP shouldn t really fire - and i only ever return fire after my shield was drained. (/ that is - unless i do have a contract )
so if a privateer attacks a BHG - the BHG will most likely fire back , but wouldn t target the QCO for example, if they hung around there, too. - if the QCO would assist the QCP though - they would become a target, too... cuase the hunter acted in self defense.
a BHG would not go for a privateer on his own though out of the described reasons - that is ... he will avoid being pulled into the political struggle between kusari and bretonia - mainly, cause its not profitable to take a side there - unless you know that you picked the winning side.
