Rule 6.7

[Lunaphase]

I for one never saw the nessesity of the lawfuls not being able to respond to ships caught in the act of piracy. Or smuggling for that matter. If you get caught by a thrusterless ship that you can see 18k out, in the case of battleships, or 12k out, in the case of cruisers, your smuggling really sucks.

I for one am sick of pirate transports being immune to capital interdiction, and not just becuase of house space, but do you have any idea how annoying it is as a zoner player to have some idiot ptrans breaking NFZ right next to a juggy yet the juggy cant do anything? The rule is frankly, stupid. Caps shouldent pirate, but they should be able to engage those who are caught pirating or otherwise making a nusance of themselves to a faction.

To those who say "oh but then pirates should be able to..." No. A capital warship is meant to respond to heavy armed threats. The ptrans counts, its basically a gunship with a cargo hold. Pirates however, dont have ships enough to waste on pirating with their heavys.

Perhaps if the pirate crowd could stop whining like 8 year olds who wont take a nap, and act in RP, the rule would make sense. But currently there is so many pirates that act like idiots that i feel revoking the protection from caps for ships being a pain in the ass, would be satisfying.
