' Wrote:Let me give you the background on this sanction.
The trader had beens topped by the local law.
The trader had been told his punishment
Upon being told his punishment, he engaged cruise.
Upon engaging cruise he was fired upon.
Upon being fired upon he quickdocked with the lawful base.
Now you try doing that with the NPC's. This report had lines of RP, more than simply "Halt!", he knew full well the law wanted him and for what. He chose then to dock with a staion that in RP would and should have been hostile to him. Therefore it is out of roleplay.
This will not see na increase of sanctions, on the grounds that 90% of the time folks dock before the lawman has a chance to say his piece. As with all OORP sanctions there must be some RP for the violator to be out of. If the law hasn't been able to issue the alert., then there would have been no OORP docking. And before anyone mentions the fact you type rather than speak, assume the delay is your comm signal finding a node it can use to be relayed to the rest of the system
Ok ...
#1 ... If you are ordered to halt by NPCs at Fort Bush and you enter the trade lane for Manhattan ... the NPCs at Manhattan are unaware you ran from the NPCs at Fort Bush. In other words ... Liberty NPCs don't go red with you throughout ALL of Liberty because you ran from a few NPCs at Fort Bush. But ... based on your explanation ... if I run from an LPI PC in Texas, I could be sanctioned for docking at Manhattan with contraband ... even if I outrun the guy in Texas.
#2 ... I do hope you treat traders quick-docking to avoid being pirated in the same way. Many times I've engaged a trader who quickly turned and docked on Yanagi or another base "I" am allied with. If I start posting violation reports for these traders ... will they receive the same sanction? Not to mention specific faction ID's docking on their enemy's stations to avoid my piracy (for example, Kruger docking with GMG's Naha base in Sigma 13 ... Rheinland and GMG are not friends).
