My opinion on powerplay, is using all tools (available to your character or not) to be "better" then your opponent.
In this scenario, some regulators of cap-ships have been actively destroying ships "not registered" just because they want to enforce "their" form of roleplay upon others..
Thats what I meant in this place, just finding another reason to take someone down and feed your PVP needs
"War. War never changes. Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage."
