A Rule Ammendment - a poll with a point :)

[Laowai]

I agree to this, but up to a point. Pirating should not be allowed by ships higher than gunboat class (Pirating being defined as the taking of property or money from others). Enforcing contraband rules on the other hand should be allowed by all ships. There is a key difference between these two things.

The key difference is when enforcing the contraband rules a ship must

• Give the smuggler a chance to turn back
  
• Give ample warning before attacking
  
• NOT request money or a portion of the cargo
  
• May request the contraband be jettisioned so it can be destroyed in space
  

Of course - and if you read the original post. I made a very clear distinction between "pirating" and policing.

Based on the results and comments submitted here its clear that around %70 of the community favours this rule change - i have pm'd Igiss with this poll and asked for it to be considered. Thanks to all for your insightful comments.
