Attacking Players' Traders.

[Sidewinder]

I have a question for the community. Suggestions are welcome, flameing is not.

My question is this:
Does attacking a trader player's character (assuming that the player belongs to another faction) count as an act of hostility between the players' other faction.

OK if that was hard to understand:
Basicly player one is trading and gets attacked by a another player but player one belongs to another faction. Does attacking player one imply an act of hostility agaist that players other chars factions?? :crazy:

Please give me some feedback on this: I need to know how to address this so it does not become a problem for anyone.

Thanks,
Sidewinder
