Liberty Navy [LN] Feedback Thread

[Korny]

This being my first official complaint (amidst a sea of unofficial griping), I wanted to make sure it was something worth complaining about.

Today on my Rogue (LR-Wolf.Blitzer), I was doing my usual pirate stuff when a Navy official (LN-Catherine.Raven) came upon me. Standard stuff so far. I get a verbal spanking from the LN which is to be expected and then I stand down and ask to turn myself in. I thought a police type character would jump at the chance to lock up a criminal and I was wrong in this case. The first response to my asking to be put away was to the effect of,

"No. Pirate I'm giving you one chance to fly away."

I thought perhaps she had misunderstood and I again agreed to a peaceful surrender when I was replied to with

"I don't negotiate with pirates. You have one more chance to leave."

After a moment she began opening fire on me while my ship remained still. I was really dumbfounded by this kind of behavior from an official Liberty Navy member. This attack provoked me to blow up the trader I had been harassing and then after several other LN allies joined in, I too blew up.

Really, this could have been a great opportunity for a different kind of roleplay for both parties involved, but instead, this member of the LN has become accustomed to just "killing the enemy". As a proud member of the Navy myself, it's disheartening to see violence be preferred to justice when we're to be diplomats above all else. I'm not looking for anyone to get in trouble, but I'd really like to see my fellow navy members keep in mind our primary objectives when dealing with minimal threats.

See, the whole point in me shooting at you was your buddy. Your buddy decided not to play nice like you did, starting to open up on a trader instead. Do you expect my character would agree with escorting you to a prison station if your buddy is shooting a trader behind my back ? Hardly.

Point two, the way your character told mine that he wants to be imprisoned, sounded more than ironic.
I think it's a little bit odd if you sit at a lane, more than obviously pirating at that moment and telling me "Arrest me!", I mean come on.
