Trailing this again?
Didn't we do this already and imposed the ban in the first place?
What has changed exactly since the last time?
Amnesia?
Piracy in cruisers didn't have a huge effect the last time around except the transports just didn't bother and paid/died. No RP. Theres no need for interaction as both parties know how it's going to go. If the trader dies/docks, he's off for four hours with some 'person' saying "//Haha...you're off for 4 hours. Hows that feel noob?" so whats the point?
This is a move for the worse and while the better amongst you will try hard to make it work and I am sure get the go-ahead, soon the idiots amongst you will emerge and it will fall apart - again. Sadly for a lot of us, it will take an age to become an issue and continue to pee people off before anything gets done..just like the last time but hey ho.
I can understand lawfuls shooting transports/freighters but piracy in a cruiser is just plain daft. Theres not a lot a gunboat can't handle so as I asked before, whats changed?
Allow lawfuls to shoot them by all means but not piracy. It's just plain lazy
