I be glad this be largely settled. I am still open to trade agreements with nationals but the previous arrangement did seem rather one sided ((much like the gankings I've experienced)) Agreeing to not attack a national alone and likely loaded with cargo and then saying if they are in a hunting group with protection, warships and no cargo they are fair game and not expected to refrain from attacks on us truly seems like a plan from the small head, so to speak. Was I understanding this correctly? I would love to have this same arrangement with anyone else if I were in their position. "Ye can't attack me, nor I you, if I'm by myself and loaded with valuables... But if I am sailing a warship with my brothers all deals are off." I beg you Owl, let this take a few turns around your big head...
((also for the record I follow the golden rule and won't do unto others as I dislike done to me: I will not in any way participate in any gankings... a fair or even largely one-sided fight is one thing but a ganking is another. I can learn at least from a fight where there is a chance of winning even if that chance is slim. There is nothing to be gained, not even an education, from a ganking.))
