Notice: Rule loophole: Bombers

[Doc Holliday]

And here lies your loophole. I've said it before and been a victim of it more than once.

6.19 Pirates have a right to deal as much damage as they see fit before or after demanding money from a trader ship, but killing trader ship before demanding money or cargo is not allowed.

So they can attack without notice but:

6.21 Attacking without an engagement notice is not allowed. All attacks must be preceded with some form of RP, regardless of NPC faction diplomacy

Says they cannot. I've never liked 6.19 as I think it is abused. Most pirates I encounter will make their demands first and might RP but they keep their guns quiet. Those pirates are likely to do better with me than those who "soften you up" first. I've had some that don't know how to read the opponents red meter very well and I've gotten an "oops" after I was killed.

I've said before, I'll say it again, the pirate who fires on me first will get nothing. Hopefully, he/she can make something out of what they tractored in. Big difference in what they would make. Something to consider, pirates.

Oh yeah, I much prefer donations instead of tax. It sound so less........socialistic.
