Cowardice in the Corsair Ranks

[cal823]

Today, a Bounty Hunter Battleship and a smaller bounty hunter(i think a gunboat) threatened me over some bounty hunter pilots in my hold, in orbit of Planet Crete.
Present were myself (in a praetorian bomber with novas) my wingman (in a titan) and a player in a corsair cruiser.
I refused the Bounty Hunters demands, as it would be a shameful display to give in to Bounty Hunters in orbit of our capital.
I then proceeced to attempt to eliminate the threat, as a bounty hunter capship in Crete Orbit is not acceptable. As i died in combat (my torps killed me accidentally actually) my wingman and the corsair cruiser just kinda.....sat there, because they did not wish to die, and my wingman wanted to not have to leave the system so he could farm wrecks. I would have thought that a threat against the homeworld itself is something that all corsairs in system should attempt to fight off, and even die to defend their home.
Opinions?
p.s. i eventually convinced my wingman of this, so he went and died in battle against the bounty hunters in one of the asteroid fields, which probably wasnt neccesary, as they were no longer threatening crete, but good attempt anyway
p.s.s the Bounty Hunters were not dock camping, and did nothing wrong, as they rped okay and did not initiate hostilities, just threatened "turn over the pilots or die" pretty much. after i died the bounty hunters continued patrolling to other parts of the system, and we had a // discussion about the problems with the torps.

I think we need a discussion over what an indy or faction member should do when their factions homeworld has enemy caps in orbit, whether thet have enough firepower to be effective in repelling them or not.
