Should independents have it harder?

[Markus_Janus]

So just to clear this up.
Are we saying that Outcasts can kill you as long as you are not allied with them for carrying cardamine, Corsairs can kill you as long as you are not allied if you are carrying artifacts, but corps can not put a bounty on you for carrying a commodity they claim as theirs?
A corp member can put a bounty on you for talking to him, looking at him funny, traveling in the same space as him or just because he does not like your name... but he can't put a bounty on you for carrying a commodity his faction claims ownership of?

So in essence by saying no to this we are really going to have to come up with new rules to limit how corporate factions can hire mercs and BHs.
I'm all for not limiting indy traders but are we to limit the corporate factions instead.
If they choose to claim ownership of a commodity then they will have to deal with the in RP consequences of that decision.

Tell me if the Liberty Navy made Neon contraband inside Liberty, would that be against the rules?
What if they did it at the request of Universal Shipping?
What if Universal Shipping hired the mercs themselves, is that when it becomes against the rules?
