Morality over Roleplay...

[Linkus]

Gameplay and roleplay essentially? If you stick to one too much, the other suffers.

As your example said, a single Nomad would usually be met with a big response but that would destroy the gameplay for the Nomad (Unless they wanted it).

People should have some respect for other players and actually remember they are people behind the characters, people you probably know. They intend to have fun too so chasing them down with multiple battleships might be a bit extreme. HOWEVER it's also equally up to that Nomad not to instigate such a reaction, or at least ask for it not to occur.

Maybe a combination of things might work?
