I mean to break no server rules by making this post- if it violates a rule then I'm sorry in advance, remove it and address it in whatever way it needs.
Could we have a genuine set of reasons as to why this is "unacceptable & therefore sanctionable"?
The level of hate INRP for Miner's will differ from OC to OC and their individual char's experience. The Taus are an INRP heavy battleground where many enemy forces have potential to meet.
Any resource/commodity passing through here would INRP be considered "high value" - or at least in great need due to the INRP risk of the open warzone between CR, OC, IMG, BAF/GRN/KNF/ lawfuls and unlawfuls/etc.
An OC with very bitter experiences of being forced to "drop all" without exception would quite likely demand all of an enemy's cargo be dropped, take it or wreck it.
~The ONLY reason I can potentially see as to why this is a sanction is the clarification of the demand itself; It started as a "I want the valuable cargo" - (You can only carry a small amount of the transport ships cargo as a Capital ship)- Ergo, the demand "Changing" from "I want it for value" to "Wreck it all".
My personal char has zero desire for piracy- but this isn't about specific chars.
