' Wrote:regardless, you've seen black squadron members post here in support. <-- Who? Which of those posting is a member of Black Squadron? The member list is at the bottom of this post. For the most part this thread is dominated by you and me. I only see maybe one Bs| member posting here in support of you, SwissScorch. Not exactly a big turnout.
Their original faction draft stated a 30 second leeway, but that was before smugglers started using the route daily. Times change, and smugglers/traders moving through the guard system are more of a threat than they've ever been before. <-- Can't go by what's not written down. I can only go by what's posted in the faction status page and by what they have linked to the Black Squadron rules for Omicron Minor and Omicron 100. So unless DBoy changes that 30 second rule ... oh ... lol ... that's right ... you're not a member anyway.
I'm sorry, you're not going to change my mind about this, and I'm not breaking any server rules by opening fire on non-order players in the order guard system. <-- No ... you just want it your way. This isn't Burger King. You can get sanctioned if you have no role play behind your attack. If you are not a member of Black Squadron you cannot claim safety behind their rules. If a trader does not have contraband, you can't touch him. Black Squadron ... as a "recognized faction" ... has rules they follow for "Black Squadron's role play." You are not Black Squadron ... so your role play is that of a "traditional" Order character. And that means your only enemies and allies are on your Order info card. You really cannot have it both ways. You are either a member of Black Squadron ... or your not.
