Destroying slaver transports

[Guest]

My slaver dropped half his slaves in open space for them and then shot them to peaces. They went lol and simply killed me.

How can slaves, locked away in their cells, survive the explosion?

They only disable the drives. The ship is crippled beyond repair.

How can you survive and escape capture every single time your ship explodes and you come back in 4 hours in a new one?

Yes, sadly that's also the case.
How can slaves, locked away in their cells, survive the explosion?

Also, the CR and ZOners against slavery dont destroy the ship entirely. They only blow up its drives. They dont shoot at the cramped slave containers. Duh?

As the game mechanics don't allow us to blow up engines (Impulse will always work, so does cruise) we indeed RP to blow up the engines, bridge or whatever other vital parts of the ship so our specialists can board the ships and save the slaves. We (ZAS~) Also have at least one transport nearby when we do slave interdiction to pick up pods. Most ZAS ships you'll see (GBs and up) have Spaceship crew, light arms and other commodities like food, pharms and consumables on bord to accomodate rescued people.
This is RP enough for us to justify 'blowing up' a slaver transport.

As I said before, if you see any other (better) possibilities, tell me, I really want to know.

Edit: I have been ninja'd:(
Edit of the Edit: Its Zoners Abolishing Slavery! :-p

A wild goose chase (RP story)

Thats what happens, man. THats what happens.
Logical move to save the rest of the slaves.
See you in 4 hours on the same char and same ship.

There's really no way around the problem unless we can board the ship. The only option we can go with is that the slaves survive the explosion much like the slaver him/herself does.

Murderous breed?
You made this topic in anger after blowing up, right?

Nope, I haven't traded in a long time (2-3 weeks), and I could use the fingers of one hand to count how many times I did slave runs to Malta with my Junker transport. I prefer other contraband cargo much more. I think I got caught only once. So no, this topic was not written in anger or frustration.

Let's not get too personal here, eh? This is only a discussion.

I blow up slaver transports on my KNF indie. No, don't freak out and wave an ID card at me, I do it in Tau-29. They always have the expressed option of taking the slaves to Okinawa and dropping them at Isehara, alternatively I accept their dropping the slaves at any neutral base in the system (there's a freeport).

70% of the time they don't even entertain the idea. 20% of the time they go to dock with one of the other bases in the system, 10% of the time they follow my request and try to get to Okinawa. I've yet to get anyone past Kyushu, though.

While it is a cruel act, destroying that slave transport harms the Outcasts on an economic and industrial level. My KNF is, while disturbed by the act, prepared and able to undertake the gruesome task.

You just edited this line out of the original post:

or admit that you are a PvP whore and stop the self-righteous act once and for all

Right.
I stand by everything I said.
All the options you proposed are either ones that lets the slaver get away with his profit, or already a policy of hte CR.
Badly disguised lobbying-for-profit by flaming, sorry.

Messiah, yes I did. It was rude and not necessary.

And its also a dead give away of your true intentions and the spirit in which your post was written.
