I would advise caution if you chose that route. An independent Xeno attacked the Border Worlds Transport Cerulean without a word the other day, and died likewise. :laugh:
I think this is one of the areas where the ID and purpose of the faction are at direct odds; one of the focuses of the Xenos (correct me if I'm wrong here, please) is intercepting foreign shipping, isn't it?
But if you're not allowed to demand cargo or credits, you're left with - as you said - simply ranting and then destroying the trader. Not fun for anyone involved, since I'm assuming you're a little more skilled than your incompetent friend from the other day, the trader wouldn't have much of a chance at all, you'd be even less likely to get any RP out of them, and neither side would be able to call it a fair fight. Granted, that would make more sense in character, but RP exists to be fun for both sides, and this almost certainly wouldn't be.
I say keep doing as you have been since you have admin approval. I also recommend seeing if you can get a pinned topic made about this until the ID gets revised, and point any complaints to that post.
