Junkers...

[blubba]

While you make good points Agamen, I don't see it saying that Junkers are unlawful. I have seen Junkers fighting the law outside Houston as you have said, then again, I've seen BH fighting lawful vessels in New London (refusing to drop pilots I believe).
It does say on the Junker ID that they CANNOT ally with lawfuls but what does it say on the Vigilantes?
I would remind you that I have no access to FL currently so am unable to check (you can lie your backside off if you like!).
The BAF posted bounties on Kusari ships in Bretonia. A lawful faction declaring an enemy as legal targets within their borders.
The same is valid vice versa.

Now we have a faction who also cannot ally with lawfuls (except in Kusari) offers a bounty, Sirius wide on a group which is considered legal everywhere EXCEPT Kusari and it's considered viable by bounty hunters who incidentally are not allowed to ally themselves with unlawful factions...seems to me to be verging on double standards. This is only my thoughts as I percieve it which is why I asked the question originally, by the way.
Incidentally, are BH allowed to operate freely in Kusari?

I would now point out that I have seen Junkers working closely with the LN in Texas, clearing up after any unfortunate 'incidents' regarding blockade runners from Rheinland and returning any lost cargo to the authorities for evidence on Houston. *cough*

All that aside, your last two paragraphs.

The 'Bad Blood' does entitle you to be more suspicous of Junkers, definately. Suspicion shouldn't always mean death.

Yes, spot on. This is definately for the Mercs and Freelancers among you.

A hunter worrying about his reputation?
Absolutely. This forum is littered with BH bragging about that very thing - and good for them. His reputaion is everything. A bad reputation will stop you claiming work from any lawful institution in the future if you go round murdering people because of 'bad blood'. Whats more, as has been stated earlier, the hunter would become the hunted, should his misdemeanor be uncovered.......

I tend to follow Tinkerbells vision more.
The only ammendment I would make is that if I were a Junker hauling a legitimate cargo and was killed by a BH in a house system, I WOULD place a bounty on the killers head, assuming I could prove him responsible. (Screenshots etc). I believe whats more, that would make it a 'lawful' bounty.
