Some questions i need answered...

whats probably what you d have to call a "loophole".

civilians are immune indeed - unless they looted a codename in front of your nose. BEFORE he dropped the ammo - you could not have attacked him, cause that would be a pre-emptive strike... assuming he would interfere with the fight.

after he dropped the ammo, he is a free game, imo - cause he activly meddled with the combat. - but from a RP point of view - he deliberately flew into an ongoing conflict and would expect to "eat a shot or two" for sure.

what is needed here is a player responsibility.

every player involved will 99% know EXACTLY what he is about to do - and what he ought to do. - the civilian delivering the ammo would be utterly utterly lame to report his destruction as a rule-breaking insult, cause he made the efford to fly into a combat zone ( civilians tend to stay away from those if possible - unless the combat moves to them and they cannot react )

edit:

about an enemy that is practicly unkillable - but also not able to kill you. - well... if we revised the "retreat" rules (which was suggested like several times already) - people wouldn t stay in a pointless fight. - but since such a person must face a 4 hour ban from the system, i can understand the light fighter. - he is not about to loose... why retreat? - you are not about to loose either, - you could as well retreat... its no ones or both sides fault.
