' Wrote:Liberty does employ Bounty Hunters (only in RP though)
On the topic...
The BHG do not enforce Liberty Laws, and they never should. BHG shouldn't stop smugglers, or ask banned ships to leave. In RP, the BHG are hired by Liberty to simply guard certain areas from Pirates. Not to scan for contraband. Or to enforce Liberty Laws. That's the job of the LPI. Sure, a Bounty Hunter could drop a hint or alert the lawfuls, but they should not be enforcing laws.
With regard to your comment about contraband...look here.
The LPI is the one that placed a 50,000 credit for interdiction of smugglers in Liberty space. So, yeah, the bounty hunters are allowed to scan for contraband.
Should they have the cap ships out there? No, they're seriously OoRP when they're doing that - presuming you're talking about Destroyers, Cruisers, and Battleships. Gunships are considered capital ships, but those are (after much discussion) cleared for use in house space - although again, there still ought to be more bombers and fighters than bigger ships.
I agree, the BHG is not the police. But yeah, we're going to stop smugglers as long as you're going to pay us to do so.
In an effort to unify efforts, this is a board to sponsor all bounties placed by Liberty Lawful groups.
