' Wrote:Bribes are just as much a part of the core game as ships and guns. Of course they're in-RP.
no one said bribes weren't in RP. What some of us don't feel is in RP (and you are free to disagree) is that it's not right for Junkers to be flying around green to bounty hunters. See Agmen's post above, I think he agrees with this.
' Wrote:Actually, the only reason we're NOT hunting you down all over Sirius is because you whined to the governments of Rhienland and Liberty about us taking the Kusari bounty upon Junkers.
It's simpler than that; Liberty wont let you shoot Junkers without cause in the same way that we wont let hunters, mercenaries or any others shoot Samura for a bounty (doesn't matter who set the bounty). We enforce security and shooting gets everybody riled up. Stop the shooting, keep everything calm and the place becomes more secure. You might not be well-liked, but that's not cause for the people keeping the peace to shoot you. They'd need evidence to do so.
So for example, if you had evidence that a Junker was breaking the law in Liberty or the independent worlds specified in the law entry in communications, you could shoot that Junker for that act.
Aside that, I can see how this would ruin Junker RP opportunities. It's not something that we on this side of the fence asked for either.

I agree, but I don't think red's in rp as well.
Tho... I assume it would be interesting on the npc-rep-level of things to have BH as independant of house polices. Even Junkers should be able to have fun shooting npcs around - plus BH's pilots sell well.:P
Just to bring the issue out from its current junker-zone, Rheinland unlawfuls are getting the shaft in Omega 7 when Bret traders etc flip Freistadt to red, when inRP Hessians have been docking there since small times.
Anyone else noticed anything else like this?
Atka Research Station is a true bro and refuses to shoot Corsairs even when surrounded by BHG.
It is an empathy issue. What is your rep towards the IMG? I'd be willing to bet its neutral or lower. Raise your IMG rep and it will not go hostile to you.
' Wrote:Like Hawk said about Junker/BHG above, we don't wanna be best buds. We're just 'ok'. Ambivalence is a lovely thing.
You're comparing two different issues.
The Junker/BHG could be fixed by the Junkers doing LN/LPI missions to make those factions green on their rep sheets. Thus, when a BHG NPC flies by the Junker player - the LN/LPI NPCs won't attack the Junker because they are green to the Junker.
In your case - if you raise your IMG rep to green. When those Bretonian NPCs fly by, you won't get shot by the IMG. I see no reason why the Hessians can't have a friendly green reputation with the IMG.
I understand the empathy thing. I know it may be the only way, but given the current state of our relationship I don't think going green to the LN / LPI would be the most appropriate for us. Like I said, we might not be given another choice. This was not always the case however. It was not the case in 4.84. or 4.85. It was not even the case in the beginning of 4.86. It's only been happening within the last few weeks which leads me to believe it can be fixed.
