sanction? that is the LAST thing you resort to...

Bounty Hunter ID
Pilot carrying this ID is a member of the Bounty Hunters Guild, who:

* Can fulfill lawful bounty contracts
* Can trade and escort traders
* Can hunt pirates and terrorists across Sirius
* Can demand cargo or credits from ships carrying contraband and destroy them if they refuse to comply
* Cannot ally with any unlawfuls
* Cannot participate in any unlawful actions
* Cannot use any Liner except the Prison Liner

Allowed ships: Fighters, Bombers, Freighters, Gunboats, Prison Liners
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime.

lets look at the pure rules....

"can hunt pirates and terrorists across sirius" - when taken literally, it doesn t even say anything about a compulsary "forum-bounty" that needs to be posted

"can demand cargo or credits from ships carrying contraband and destroy them if they refused to comply" - again... contraband is BOTH... global contraband - but also illegal goods ( like wildflife is contraband in bretonia - but not elsewhere ... but in bretonia, it is illegal )

so - when the ID is taken as a referrence, a BHG can indeed demand the cargo and / or fine a smuggler that carries illegal goods. - the laws of t he system / space he is in apply though. - so you can NOT ask a trader to drop gaian wildlife when he is encountered at Glawgow outpost ( Leeds ) - but you CAN ask him to drop it when he is stopped at LD-14 ( Leeds, too ) - the former is kusari juristication, the later bretonian.

but then there is the discrepancy between pure rules and rules that were sometimes added or sometimes only mentioned.

while the ID says nothing about a compulsary forum bounty, - players have been sanctioned for attacking another player that was clearly unlawful. - there was a demand that a BHG must wait for his shields to be shot down to 50% at least untill he can defend himself - within the rules. - if no forum bounty applied to the target.

additionally to that - there is the canon RP. - the universal understanding of a faction - you might call it the NPC faction RP. ( that is NOT the playerfactions representing the faction to a greater extend ) - NPC canon RP is for example a general substitute police work that the BHG is doing - usually away from the crowded areas at jumpholes or border systems.

doing what the NPCs do is frowned upon though...

then there is the faction RP. - factions try to shape the faction they represent to how they like them to be - or to how they see them. - for the BHG that means that "they would not engage in the war between kusari / bretonia - or liberty / rheinland" - but that is not global RP... by the rules, one can do it.

lastly there is a general courtesy of play-nice rules. - that is for example - don t chase down one single gunboat in 12 battleships. - unspoken rules of engagement - fairness etc. usually ignored by every side on the server, casual players, factions, newbies or veterans all alike - but everyone likes to point it out.
