Engagement Notice

[agentmike]

Technically, everyone who joins/starts a fight without it being self-defence has to give an engagement notice. I know I always do on my LPI, even when I've been ordered in System chat to attack. Something like "Yes sir, taking down threat to Liberty...Now!" is certainly suffcient in a case like that.

But I wouldn't have a big problem with someone who didn't, as long as the order was clear, and who the order was going to is clear, and that character is in scanner range of me. Of course the Admins might feel differently... When in doubt, give the notice!

what i am asking is how clear is the rule governing this?

is someone breaking the rules if they do not state for themselves that they are engaging?

some say yes, some say no....
