Bounty Hunter ID Wrote:[...] Can fulfill lawful bounty contracts, [...]
I have a question regarding that ID regulation, which is to be found as a segment of the Bounty Hunter ID. If a lawful authority places a bounty on a ship or ships belonging to one of the lawful Houses that are in war with the authority issuing the bounty, is a ship equipped with a Bounty Hunter ID allowed to engage the ship being hunted?
Example: The Liberty Authorities place a 500,000 credits bounty on Herr Jaegermainshaft, a Rheinland Military officer. Bounty Hunter Jack spots the Rheinlander cruising around in Texas. Is Jack allowed to engage and destroy Herr Jaegermainshaft's vessel, only because there's a lawful bounty on him?
I'm asking this because I've seen (indy) BHG ships assisting the Libbies in Texas, who were fighting various RM forces. The Hunters argued that they were working for the Bounty placed on all Military vessels. Even though that was several months ago, today I encountered a similar situation, but now I was flying my Bounty Hunter ship. I didn't even think of attacking the Military vessels until a Mandalorian asked me if I was allowed to do so. At that time, I replied that I wasn't, but later started a debate about it in the [RM] chat, the sides were divided, I couldn't get a clear answer out of anyone.
Because of that, I think this should be settled here. Does a Bounty Hunter ID allow me to attack other lawful ships if there's a lawful bounty on them?
