Is it against the rules?

afaik, you can be shot as a civilian if you have IFF.

While technically you can shoot anyone you want - there would be consequences for doing so. In this case - as in ALL cases - the ID is what matters. Which means that if you're a level 60 gunboat, and you see someone with Corsair IFF - even if it's Corsair Guard - you MUST scan for ID. And if he's under level 40 and has civilian ID, then shooting him will be a sanctionable event.

We went through something similar when the HAF and OPG were making underlevel characters in an effort to get each other sanctions. However, it's still quite entirely possible to have an IFF and be an underlevel Civilian, with a civilian ID.

Best rule of thumb - just because it's red, doesn't mean it's dead. Scan first.
