A Rule Ammendment - a poll with a point :)

[Laowai]

Haven't voted but I think the original example is promising It's nice to see the actual rules taking priority over faction RP rules it's a good thing not that I have anything against TBH I just see tons of factions doing completely oorp things and getting away with it when they shouldn't.

Personally I don't see why a gunboat or lower couldn't have intercepted the trader in question although I feel exactly the same way about lawfuls in cruisers as well and if they can get away with it so should pirates. In my opinion no cruisers or higher should be doing it.

Herein lies the problem - lawfuls can do it, unlawfuls can't. A gunboat or smaller could have intercepted the offending trader, however situations do arise where there are no vessels of that class on standby - and you have a completely unbelievable situation where the unlawful in the cap ship cannot do anything about it.
I'm also in favour of server rules taking a lead in most situations by the way - but recent events, such as the whole capital ship registration shennanigans (yes i call shennanigans;)) has shown is that server rules can, and do at times take a backseat to RP ones - when it suits.
This is i believe a server rule that should be amended for RP situations - its a double standard as it is, and hampers legitimate Role Play.
