This Is Crazy!

well, here is what i would do:

given i m an unlawful - which i m not but just in case:

trader/transport/cooperation vessel - i d prolly stop them without warning with a well places train disrupter and while they wait to fire up their engines - warm up another CS - and ask them nicely for a donation. while they stuggle to possibly get away - give them a few shots that just scratch their shields. but everything is allowed now, since "i have allready asked nicely" . - since i m not after the death of the trader but rather after its cargo/cash, i d prolly "chew" him up untill he either pays - or realizes that its gonne be costly to try to run some more.

fighter or any kind - i d scan and without any warning if clearly hostile to me, attack. frankly, even a taunt to start it puts me in a disadvantage. so i d rather strike first. after all, a fighter is not a civilian vessel. if it was a fighter without ANY weapons - allright, might not attack on sight.

capship - just like a fighter. they are easier to identify from afar but of course i d have to scan for its ID first. no warning needed here, i think. an outcast destroyer meeting up with a liberty cruiser won t exchange much but weaponfire.

about factions being at war. i don t think that pirates are considered "at war" with traders. they are hostile. but not at war. i think the term "at war" is reserved for the major factions bretonia - kusari, outcast and allies - corsair and allies. i wouldn t even consider the order and lsf "at war". but when a bretonian fighter meets a kusari fighter, i would rather expect them to just attack each other without scanning for the ID first, cause its quite clear that its the enemy - when it turns out that it was someone in a kusari fighter with lets say a trader or neutral ID. - well, damn bad luck ... for the kurasi pilot. even a neutral should have enough common sense not to fly a kusari fighter through bretonian space no matter what ID.

thats just my take on it. thankfully, i m neutral to all and i never have to care about it =P
