Slaver ID clarification

[dr lameos]

I thought this might crop up and so have been considering removing that point since it was first written. Your feedback is important, so allow me to clarify.

permitted to declare hostile and interdict, any Slaver IDentified, or slave carrying, vessels; and any others disclosed in this channel; using whatever means necessary.

Note the words, 'permitted to' and 'whatever means necessary':
If it's not necessary to fire upon a ship or be hostile to a ship, we won't.

The reason I included slaver ID in this point, is to create openings for RP, not a means to close it. Our pilots would have expertise in identifying suspicious vessels - it is after all their sole purpose - and as such may stop and question ('interdict') them. If the RP leads to confirming they are slavers, or hostilities are 'necessary', they are 'permitted'. We've allowed known slavers, that we've caught before, to pass when they aren't carrying slaves to give them the benefit of the doubt that they've changed their ways; we are a humanitarian operation after all.

The intention is to open an RP encounter, and see where it leads. As I say I have been thinking about removing it due to possible misunderstandings as has occurred here. Thoughts?

Apologies for the thread hijack, answer here or via PM if you'd prefer.
