While I wasn't there, I can understand both sides of the argument. It makes sense in RP for the SCRA to attack corporate, capitalist entities, like Samura, especially if they are robbing the Mollies, who, I assume the SCRA have now made an alliance of convenience with. Unless, of course, it is in your RP to influence every single player pirate faction in Sirius to become Communists and gain limited access to your equipment(which is fine too, since its what the Soviets did, not trying to take a stab at you here).
But, what I see here isn't confusion about an ID, but rather, a decision made after deliberating whether to wait for the ID to be updated or to just continue as planned. And, it seems like the SCRA seems to have jumped ship and gone with the plan instead of the ID.
While I agree with your RP, I disagree with what you have done. When the Bretonian Buccaneers appeared out of the blue and claimed that they've had a centuries old rivalry with the Mollys that none of the Mollys knew about(including the faction leader), and proceeded to blow us up, you can imagine our surprise and indignation.
Similar situation here, albeit not exactly the same.
What I suggest here is both parties concede a little for the benefit of RP.
The SCRA was justified in attacking Samura based on their RP. But, they should have given some kind of warning to the server ahead of time. While in the real world, people would be getting this kind of intel readily, this is a game, and this doesn't happen. For instance, an OORP announcement in General Discussions or an RP announcement in some kind of broadcast would have been nice.
Here, based on information from the ID and your faction status' diplomacy section:
Quote:Diplomacy
The Coalition is mostly in the habit of shooting anyone they come across in the Sirius Sector, as 90% of them are hostile to our cause. Below are some exceptions...
Friendly:
Bundschuh
LWB
Red Hessians
Unioners
Neutral:
Civilians (NOT Including Tagged/ID'd Transports of Hostile Factions)
IMG (Including Colonials)
The Order
The Phantom Empire
The Molly Republic
Other players were taken by complete surprise.
So, shake hands, lose the attitude, and play the game.
