So, today I had some off trader at gunpoint and kindly requested that he offload his freight o' fellows headed to the shores of Baden Baden to luxuriate while the good people of Liberty toiled in prisons to sew wallets for the LPI.
His return was that I, according to my ID was prohibited from demanding cargo from him. As it does clearly state that my ID says that I cannot demand cargo from passing traders.
Now, this left me in a quandary, one I puzzled over whilst reducing his vessel to their base components as he squawked for help. In the long long ago when I, cautious fellow that I am about server rules and avoiding the allmighty sanction, was first starting off as a Xeno wanted to find out what could or could not be done I inquired with our fine admin team as to if it would be allright if we Xenos demanded our targets drop their cargo instead of simply killing them, as it opened more possibilities for roleplay in my eyes.
As said trader went up in a flash of light, he promised that he would see me on the forums. Cheeky fellow!
Now, I'm curious, until our ID is amended in the next version (hopefully) would you folks prefer that we in the XA abandon requesting cargo and instead maintain a lifestyle of halting yon trader, keeping them still while we have our rant and then killing them, or barring that simply killing them the moment they appear unwilling to sit still? I would hate to think that we're being unreasonable by providing another opportunity to let you off the hook with your life and ship intact.

Yeah, we're in a sticky situation here with the ID's and roles of certain NPC-like factions and groups. I'd say baby terrorists at this point. Demand cargo not the money. Xenos are Liberty terrorists, disrupting trade and stopping cargo would be the best thing to do.
I know it kinda ties your hands a little but if you could go around killing everyone it would set a bad example for the real PvP whores. You know what I mean? They could just go pick up the ID and run with it. There's got to be some limitation. That's why the Terrorist ID is given out by the admins.
