Blowing People Up

[worldstrider]

What about diplomats who tell cops to shove it when issued simple requests such as to hold in place for a contraband scan and, upon being set upon, proceed to open fire on said cops in an effort to kill them rather than submit to said scans?

Awww--are da feewin's huwt?

Good example.

POLICE:
"You've got contraband their Junker! Pull over and surrender your cargo!"
(classified research materials for the Gallics to examine and forbidden by Liberty--ie, Nomad research).

JUNKER:
"We are on a diplomatic mission and cannot allow you to board us."

POLICE:
"Open up men!"

Yep...I see news on CNN about diplomats refusing to be searched being gunned down by police every day.

Sure--you don't have to accept a claim. But you can "check with higher authorities" rather than having the equivalent of a beat cop make the decision to pull the kill switch. My character should be well enough known in Liberty to have given some at least very slight pause. (and I actually didn't fire until well after two ships CD'd me multiple times and then only to escape--which I did--and no effort was made to kill anyone with my four guns--two of which were pulse cannons.) Hehe--I had forgotten about this but it pleases me that it pained you. Better luck next time copper.

But I am talking about, "Hey--don't smart off to me! Kabam!" more than anything else--which many do here and not just new players.

...and it was "just something to ponder".
