Tranports vs Caps

[Harcourt.Fenton.Mudd]

'Capital ships may only attack transports when within 10k of a friendly base'? Something like that as a sort of compromise?

Compleatly fair. Or set non-overlaping ZoIs for were pirate/lawful caps can both pew traders (I made another thread for that particular idea).

If there were a 10k limit, then for the lawfuls, I'd say count trade lanes in that 10k, as that'd be a logical place for them to sometimes encounter situations on.

And have the same clause as in the guard ID were if the fight STARTS somewere allowed, but MOVES outside, it's still legit under the rules.

Prehaps.....
lawfuls within 10k of a lawful and/or allied base/lane/gate.
Unlawfuls, within 10k of an unlawful base, or a jumphole.

JHs ARE dangerous for traders afterall.
TLs ARE dangerous for pirates afterall

And on top of that, have comprehenseve and RP logical ZoIs for each ID that allows caps and were that specific cap can engage (mostly for pirates, a hessian cruiser shouldnt be able to go pirate JHs in another house, past border worlds as one example.)


Elven, to answer your question I'll quote myself from the other thread you asked it in.

Actualy, I dont have an IMG char currently.

And Im not either, infact back in early .85 I once DID get a sanc for propper RP for just that, slave liner that had just ignored a group of LPI Libbies and speed docked/sold at manhat was sitting infront of the lane to WP and on public comms attempting to hire a LR dessie that was about 12k out to come attack us.

The thread ended up getting locked when quite a few LPI that were there pointed out how it was BS and what not.
