There are a lot of set message engagement notices coming from 46th ships. By this I mean /1 /2 and then opening fire.
You can do this and as long as there is sufficient roleplay and time to respond given, you are not breaking the server rules.
My feedback is that using set messages as engagement notices with the regularity ships using this faction's tag are doing isn't the most engaging way of interacting with others, even if they are reds. It would be more interesting to see more actual words typed.
