and THIS is why I stay on IGS. It's about to get good.

You have gotten slaves killed, every slave killed in fact, in every single one of your engagements with Nauplius so far save the bestower. Given the size of the ship and number of people who died it is obvious that your pilots skipped right past everything and just shot it without any attempt of boarding action, no activation of self-destruct timer and no attempt at negotiation whatsoever. Exactly like your people have handled every other fight which is exactly why there are so many dead slaves on your killboard.

Your actions and the actions of your pilots has spoken. All you are doing is defending the fact your contractor may not have directed you to act as you obviously did.



I would have not shot the unarmed transport full of people.




2050 innocent people do not get to live because of your actions.


Others have already tried to spin this as 'I do not care enough about the people rescued' so your 'I do not care really, I am just doing it for attention.' line falls far short.


Tell the rest of your excuses to the dead.

Causing the death of 4034 people in the near future, following Nauplius Modus Operandi (*all minmatar must be given over to destruction*)



And 2000 people get to live, which is still more then if they did not shoot.



The problem many have with your comments is, you claim you care about the survivors, yet propose a course of action that will lead to the death of 4034 people rather then 2034 people.

If you would only explain the best course of action that will not lead to the death of these slaves, you would do everyone a great help. I'm aware you said 'don't shoot' , but you must have some plan to save them all? From your comments, I can't fanthom your advice would be *Don't shoot, let them live in slavery under Nauplius hands and die* concerning your stance on slavery and how deeply you care about the survival of these slaves.

Following from that, the advice must be something different, 'Don't shoot , -Unknown-' It would be good to know what this full advice would be.

A multi-race Private Military Contractor is hired by Amarrians to kill an Amarrian. The collateral lives lost are Minmatar. Is anyone surprised that the Vendor has not been told to respect the human shields of the target by the client?

Really?

I think there's some sort of war on, isn't there?

Well see that's the trick; If there's no survivors then you don't have to care about them. Problem solved.

Hopefully she's learnt a bit more about boarding than half a year ago.

In the State, we call it just "collateral damage".
Nothing to see here.

If you allow terrorists to have free reign because they endanger innocents, you're simply encouraging them to do more of the same. This is why all governments refuse to negotiate with terrorists; you cannot give them any leeway. It sucks.

Sometimes, you grit your teeth and pull the ******* trigger. It's an awful decision to have to make, but what are the options? Killing some of them quickly, in a flash, painlessly, in an attempt to save some? Or doing nothing, and sentence the lot of them to whatever warped torment Nauplius and others of his ilk can conceive? We cannot forcefully board a vessel. We cannot force it to jettison its cargo, nor dock, nor capitulate in any other way to our demands. HE INTENDED TO KILL ALL OF THEM ANYWAY.

I agree with those who have said this was 2000 lives saved, not 2034 lost.

On behalf of my Clan, Tribe, Nation, and corporation, I have one thing to say to Stormcrows:

Thank you.

We stand ready to receive any and all survivors, who will be given housing, medical care, transport to wherever they wish, and work for those who seek it.

Should you require any assistance, you need but ask.

Because Nauplius has such a history of rational behavior and taking care of those within his holds.
