Distinction between LPI & BHG in Liberty

[selsyn]

As a play almost exclusively as an LN officer, i have seen alot of this lately.

It seems like even though we have 3 fighters chasing 1 pirate (which we RPed into fighting), i will see several BHG capships show up and usually cause the pirate to flee.

I really do not appreciate Bounty Hunters enforcing Liberty Laws, becuase from 8 of 10 cases i can remember, they were blatantly wrong, and 7 of those 10 cases involved a BH capship blowing up said target.

Example, yesterday, a Smuggler IDd vessel was destroyed by a BH, simply because the ID said Smuggler.

The LPI unforunatly is in a low point, i believe, and usually when i do see an offcier, they only log on for a quick moment, then log off. The LPI is difficult to RP in my opinion, due to the lack of firepower they can bring. Most LPI tagged characters are in Liberator LFs, not Guardians and Avengers like my [LN] mates.

As it stands, as an LN officer, i believe theyre are way to many capitals in New York every day. I really dont understand who is giving these BHs their Battlecruisers (and last night, a Battlestar Advanced) and saying "goto New York and be police!".

And no, as far as i know, the Liberty Goverment (player government that is) have no outstanding deals with Bounty Hunters. By this, the BHs have no monetary incentive to engage all pirates on sight, because that pirate likely wont fetch a bounty.
