Right got into quite a heated argument earlier, and to be honest I want to have it where I have time to read the replies and think about what I type. (not to mention spell check)
Ok here is the full c+p of a mission
Mission briefing
Very recently, we spotted a huge transport fleet carrying thousands upon thousands of Amarrians towards our borders. We let them enter, pretending as always that we had not noticed. This time however, we reinforced all of the likely exit points with additional patrols. As a result they have not yet been able to leave. They are sitting largely defenseless as they wait for an opportunity to pass back out into Empire borders. Do what must be done.

Shades of grey
Despite the frequent death of civilians in a war, it is nonetheless exceptionally rare for large-scale casualties to happen without even a shred of reason. Engineers, mechanics, scientists, these and other professions – when used directly to aid combatant forces – can be said to have justifiably draw the wrath of their enemies. There just enough shades of grey to allow it.
No empire, however, is foolish enough to outright murder citizens without any involvement in a conflict. Or as some might argue, they are not so foolish as to get caught in the act. The rise of the capsuleer has spawned a dark new age where culpability is little more than an elusive dream.
This clearly states its a civi colony, and so peoples claims that they never hit civis are false if they do this mission.
This is the reason Dame does not ever do this mission or in fact any mission.
I have used and have seen used the argument that a Missioner kills more crew then your average pvper icly so surly this is the same boat.
So what I want your thoughts on is... If you do Shades of grey and hit civi targets do you do it icly? (If no ill start 3 boxing tlf missions again)
I will answer each post as I have time to think and spell check a answer, if its needed.
EDIT Spell checked
