Engaging your own ID

[Victor Steiner]

In asking on whether or not you're allowed to shoot your own ID, you may so long as their is sufficient reason or RP to do so. Incidents that occur in space (Be it a case of a Liberty Navy Indie outright siding with MRG and shooting BAF|for example) then the Liberty navy factions may engage that particular ship at that particular time. This is more or less acceptable as it's an isolated case, although if it becomes more and more common, an FR5 would be in order.

Anything more than that requires RP and FR5s. Taking into account the RP of your NPC factions, it would be bizarre and somewhat silly, for example, to find 5th and [LN] shooting each other as they are both on the same team. While cases of, shall we say, 'hotheadedness', aren't uncommon in encounters between 5th and [LN] (inrply speaking of course) anything progressing past that would be absurd. So it does depend heavily on what kind of a faction you're running. But so long as there is sufficient cause and some RP around it, (and so long as it doesn't get too out of hand) then it should be all good.
