Ill address your concerns about the Liberty Navy. I'd do so about the Phantoms as well, but I really cant be arsed to write a wall as long as yours.
First of all, we do threaten to shoot smart-mouthed traders. In fact, I endorse this. Very few people abuse military personnel these days, even if they cannot react. Since its the internet, of course everybody roleplays smartasses. The police cant arrest you for doing so due to the game mechanic, so I'll blow you up instead.

Cartel pirating and leaving them alone? You make it sound like something was definately wrong there, but maybe the navy player died or has roleplay linking them to the Cartel? My character has some quirks about her that'll make you go 'wtf how did that happen'. You cannot make an assumption about good RP and bad RP until you know the entire circumstances of the character to which you are referring.

We can't restrict battleships/cruisers/battlecruisers seriously until a variant of faction law 5 comes into force, which is not likely to happen this century. Though, if they act like idiots, I hop on the durango and give them a few heavy mortar shots to think about.

But then again, if shooting traders is bad RP, shooting your own guys must be bad RP too.
Did I mention that, if you get my character angry enough, she will shoot anything? Even her own men directly under her command? [LN]-Christina.Robinson shooting [LN]-Curtis.Elwood with real intent to kill. I have a feeling you'd scream out of roleplay straight away, but open your mind and try to understand that things arent always as they seem.

If you make an assumption about my roleplay for this particular character and still conclude that it is out of roleplay, then I will consider you a lost cause. There are reasons for these things, just that they are not visible. Most aren't visible even after I've explained it here. There is cause and there is effect, and I only explained the effect.

About the actively responding to pirates in the Liberty sector.
I had someone PM me whilst I was in New York about a pirate in California I think.
I was getting shot by six Phantoms and two random mercenaries at the same time.
This was a few days ago.
Which is the bigger threat? You tell me.

Again, things arent always as they seem. You'll do yourself good if you stop assuming you're right.

That said, I make your mistake a lot too. I assume things.:unsure:
Fair enough.

Finally, some positive feedback:), i am referring in my not responding to pirates for when the Aurora is just sitting there at the entrance to the Z-21 minefield and doing exactly squat. Or when other players are doing about that.
