For the protection of all members of our clans this is to be avoided whereever possible.

This is not always possible however and i often get asked when is it acceptable so i shall try and answer queries here.

- If you are attacked by a VRU it is always acceptable to defend yourself, however only you know how this is best, as every situation is different.
The best method can take two main routes; flee for a portal or attack.
If you will not survive an encounter then try to escape.
If you decide to attack, you think you will win this battle you can either chase him down when he flees and kill him or let him escape when he runs. I tend to frighten people off and let them run, as this has no repurcussions, but if he has attacked you, he asked for it.

- If a VRU has stolen your cargo it is only natural for you to be angered by this, but it doesnt justyify killing him. If he is from a clan, report it to me, if outside of a clan deal with him as you see fit.
If you suspect someone is going to try and steal your cargo it is common to shoot him off to scare him away, but killing is uncalled for and again if he is in a clan do not attack him, if he does steal the cargo, report him to me.

- Outlaws; if they are outside of a clan then by all means, teach them a lesson for their treachery, if they are in a clan do not attack. It is common for clan members to hunt together and a common method for sharing wealth on these hunts was cargo in return for help. When the honour system was introduced alot of innocent parties got stuck with an outlaw tag so do not think they are honourless scum, not all of them are.

These laws are open to interpretation in many ways im sure, feel free to start a discussion thread in another part of the forum about this is if you need to.
