Curious situation

[pchwang]

In this situation a sanction probably simply depends on the biases of the admin who sees it, on whether he is friends with one person involved or if one is a faction and one is not, but it's obvious this could have been a pvp situation where the cruiser was justified in returning fire if the cruiser's shields were taken to 50% before he took the LL's shields down 50% if you go strictly by the rules.

Akumb. The admin's decisions are not biased by who the perpetrator is, but what the action is. If you're so disgusted by Discovery's administration team, do us a favor and leave. Otherwise, leave that quip out and mature up.

6.19 Pirates and terrorists have a right to deal as much damage as they see fit before or after demanding money from a trader ship, but killing trader ship before demanding money or cargo is not allowed. Attacking traders or demanding cargo is not allowed for cruisers and battleships, unless cruisers and battleship belong to Terrorist ID or Phantom ID owner.

The cruiser has clearly violated the rules and deserves to be sanctioned. Regardless of PvP, a cruiser or battleship CANNOT attack a trader.

Contraindications of this include:

1) If the Traders dropped the cruiser/battleship's shields to 50% or less. This would be self-defense.
2) If there was a planned RP event that involved a cruiser opening fire on a transport.

In this situation, however, neither of these things happened.

And if anyone wishes to argue that a liner is not a trader...read the rules.
