A doubt about IDs

[Gypsie Skripto]

If and ID says this:

Can attack lawful and unlawful targets in self-defense, to protect another FACTION ship, or in defense of FACTION bases.

I'm able to attack those who pew or threatens ships or bases of my faction. But for how long? Say A is hit by a terrorist. Can B go after terrorist tomorrow? Or has it got to be now?

Furthermore... does this ID line allow the ID holder to sigh up on bounty boards put up by his/her own faction?

If you caught him beforehand, harming your faction ships/bases, I guess you can engage him again with proper RP when you end up meeting him. Though, enough amount of RP would be needed in both of these two encounters I suppose.

That is how I percieve it to be and have seen it quite a few times when I was new here. Sorry, if I am wrong.

[Gypsie Skripto]

Yeah that's what I thought. Any other opinions?

I look at it the other way, as an in situ paragraph. That is, you can shoot him right there and then, and that's that.

It's hard to argue that you are defending someone dead the next day. You should focus on the word "defense" rather than "faction" in that line.

I thought this would be clearer among the community.

I think it's fairly clear. I mean, you can't be saying that you are defending an ally or base, if you are in fact avenging a dead ally or base. Logically, "defense" or "protection" would seem to imply that it requires the aggressor and the dude you want to protect to already be engaged in a fight.

Ok, I guess it's as you say then. Thanks.

Its in self defense so its at the moment there is a threat. Not after.

What? are you even for real? So rp only works for 24 hours? Get outta here. If you find someone tommorow - from a previous day, you don't have to mumble too much and just start blasting him, thats if you have a solid role-play from the day before, like a picture perhaps.

Were fools to make war on our brothers in arms.

I think it's a great way of minimizing animosity and grudges.

If you've got a real problem, and you belong to a non-fighting faction, you can pay mercs.

Remember, you are always entitled to self-defense.
