Has anyone shot at these things in High-sec, or does Concord Frown upon such things, which would be kinda odd.

I could understand if shooting a faction custom station would gain you the hatered of said faction. Also, if you really think about it, everyone commits some form of piracy in Eve. Could it not be seen as piracy to mine an astroid, since you didn't ask the entity controlling the space if it was alright to mine and sell materials within their area.


To be honest, we expected to take a standings loss to Interbus when we removed the offices. But we'd already discussed internally that the interbus tax rate was something we considered regressively protectionist and provided appropriate casus beli.

Interbus charging taxes on planets owned by the empires is piracy.  It's your civic duty to blow them up.

Do you guys really think Drop bears answer is going to be the one that prevents role players from using a new feature?

Please keep your responses on topic, Jade. Was trying to ask the OP why they couldn't have simply asked about the interbus piracy issue directly, instead of keeping it nebulous. Games of telephone through twitter are hard enough as it is; simply asking for a question to be relayed directly has a much greater chance for success.

We did ask directly: to the NPC responsible. If that mailbox gets lots of spam it's "the message a week ago from an EM diplomat".

We know the game mechanics. We don't agree on whether or what those signify. I rather doubt a generic GM could help an immersionist roleplay alliance there. (But do enlighten me if I'm mistaken.)

Maybe the empires are taking a decent amount of these taxes out of what Interbus gain initially. Who knows.
