Nice burro,
For sorting it out you´ve got a pm from me - some of the pm is here now - not a realy good idea - so lets talk open about it your choice - i don´t wanna find a msn log here later.
What i was saying about the rules above is simply correct the listing you put above the Rules are not part of Merc Rules - therfor it´s an interpretation. I did not say that something of your list is ok or wrong.
The example isn´t correct. First of all the Train was docked. Later he undocked unloaded and we was talking about a possible fine which he was refusing after talking as long as the fighter needs to make his way.
Anyway:
when i am talking with the train driver in system channel i expect the fighter not to take my shields down as long as i´m talking with his orderer?! to gain an advantage later where he wasn´t say that he was hired btw.
If he open fire without a reason where nothing is what he can protect unless an empty train which i didn´t attacked he is a pirate (from which RP i await such behavior - and respect it because it´s their RP).
I didn´t wrote anything in the pm about a train which went off the scanner range - and for the records he was needing a long time to kill me and was dying some times before he did it. After he got me one time he was whining about me using a bugged ship - i will not write more here now about such behaviors.
And now back to topic:
You wrote protecting a train, yes i agree - but how can you protect a train which isn´t under attack?
*Saxons post is arriving*
YES, someone is understanding my point
Because of this post i will write even the 2. Example from the pm down here (we are equal now burro) When beeing in a Merc signed fighter and you see the police coming - what is the point to buy a piece of BMG to hold it and show it to the police? Are you smuggling than? I guess this wasn´t what Gunny meant with smuggling is ok We have had it numerous times, your Mates are carrying one! BMG and try to provocate a fight (Sorry to post it now Leroy - i know u tried to clear it inside). After it they call some of their clan mates in and our officers are calling other police forces in. So what is that?
Believe me you don´t wanna have more examples or maybe screenies... All can be fixed by pointing out your RP. If you are Mercs act so. Ask Flash or Bahamut from KoH how to avoid these Problems, both are acting in a correct RP imO they are smuggeling in their Trains and do Jobs in their fighters.
QuoteI will need to develop SMG Rules of Engagement to address some points
Yes please
@Saxon
Your examples could easy avoid these points i agree but want to add the saying of stop at first place to it where the taxed/fined player need to stop than.
