The presumption comes from you actually posting that you start shooting as soon as you pop out of the tradelane.
You use some very skewered logic. If you fire a full volley at someone, how can it be considered anything but an attack?
The rules are clear on what an attack is, yes, and if a trader starts shooting at me their intention is clear. They don't want to partake in any further roleplay, and the engagement has begun. Don't expect any pirate to be lenient with you if you open fire on them and then go "oh sorry, that wasn't meant to be an attack"

How can it be considered anything but an attack? Simple, by whether or not it A. Connects, and B. Does 50% or more sheild damage. Neither are mutually exclusive. You may also consider it an attack if the volly does, in fact, contain a CD. There is no Skewing of that logic. It's written in blue and white. Further, it is your own presumption that said trader does not wish to Rp, in spite of the fact that I have reitterated my views on the subject in almost every single post to be contrary. So, if you, and "Any Pirate" do not wish to RP with a trader who fires on you, then that's fine, but I never asked you to be "Lenient".
