NOTICE: Rule 2.1 Clarification

[Petitioner]

What about Nomad IFF'd players?

If rules are set, should affect everybody without exceptions.

They do. Everyone, regardless of ID or IFF, must provide at least two lines of RP and at least 10 seconds to respond after posting this RP before attacking another player. This clarification mainly serves to indicate that no explicit "engagement notice" is needed, nor has it ever been. If I am a Navy pilot, and I see a pirate, it is perfectly rules-legal for me to stop him, start chatting about the space weather, and once I've provided at least two lines of roleplay and waited ten seconds thereafter, attack him. Likewise, if I am an AI drone and I come across a Core transport, it is perfectly rules-legal for me to say something like "[The AI drone starts emitting stronger energy signatures.]", follow it up with "[Particles start radiating from its emitters.]", wait ten seconds, and then attack. This is roleplay. Your character does not even have to technically communicate. This applies, and always has applied, to everyone.
