Like I said, no junker should be using the alliance with the harvesters as a threat or as justification for criminal actions. A junker will always stay out of conflict if possible.
In my example above, which happened today - I did not openly express any sort of alliance with the harvesters other than saying "harvesters, stand down" when the bounty hunter asked for a '1 on 1' meeting to make the exchange (which is reasonable). After I had the pilots in my hold, I asked the harvesters in -private- chat to hunt down the bounty hunter and scrap his ship.
The situation in omega 15 is far different from that in any other part of sirius though. The harvesters have based themselves out of omega 15 and have an almost constant presence at bornholme - so we cant really 'deny' allegiance with them since it's obvious they arent attacking us like they attack everyone else.
Think of the junkers in O15 like the zoners in omicron theta - We've grown strong enough to not have to put up with anyone's crap. The zoners in theta are at odds with both the corsairs and the outcasts because they have the power to back their own laws.
in omega 15, we wont tolerate any violent acts around our station. It doesnt matter if you're a bounty hunter, corsair, hessian, or rheinland military - if you come into that field you're in our territory and you play by our rules. Most junker stations dont have the defenses to make that kind of claim - but we've got a heavy harvester presence in the area, and they will protect bornholme from any and all hostilities. That is our advantage.
as to the DW thing... It doesnt matter if they're at war with the harvesters or not, they need to stay away from bornholme - do the fighting elsewhere.
