To be clear, ships that you own and have locked within your own towns claims are infact yours

And cannot be seized by anyone in your town, including the mayor

This extends to ships in claims that aren't Native to your town too.
For example if I parked in Monaco. And a mayor change Les to the town owner siezing property that isn't his.

If it were non movecraft it'd be illegal as we recognise
A: The person who deposited the stuff was under the assumption his items would be safe.
B: The items need to be withdrew.

So why should movecraft (outside of millitary craft) be different? The same logic applies. In addition with cargo vessels, one could argue not extending these rules to Movecraft is contradictory.

The difference is that we recognize movecraft piracy as an intended and encouraged game mechanic. If you are not within your own claims, then you have no method to secure your ship except through treaty and politics/negotiation. This is a very intended part of the game and not one I'm remotely interested in changing

Piracy is an act that happens outside of claims on the high seas, not inside registered claims. If we are to treat SF and other personal items as the property of residents or of previous... then it would be hypocritical to not apply the same to provisions in movecraft vehicles and the movecraft vehicle itself. Again this is only referring to non military ships as I quite clearly defined for you.

I dont buy the diplomacy dynamic, perhaps seizing a ship on the high seas for example but that needs an actual game mechanic to do so. Taking ships of people who put them in former safe towns that are personal as defined only encourages toxicity and manipulation... which is unacceptable on CCNet.

You don't really need to buy or agree with what I'm telling you, we do hold different different "hypocritical" standards for movecraft. Intentionally. We want movecraft to be more volatile and susceptible to seizure or theft. The ONLY way to protect your ships are to lock them within your own town.

Volatility can only emerge on open seas, seizing someones assets due to a mayor change (non military of course) is not at all volatile. That is a weak argument as no action takes place. Of course, this differs with military assets as previously explained.

Consider the scenario:
your ship was in a friendly port, the mayor gave you right to put it there but suddenly the town changed hands?
do you lose everything due to a fault not your own?

Now we have established, it is not a volatile or fun process, explain to me how the seizure of personal movecraft or items within is different from SF? and why staff should allow a double standard within the rules?

Note: I speak using the aforementioned definitions

You're misunderstanding me -- I'm not making an argument against you here. I'm telling you how it works on CCNet and what our intention is. There's nothing to argue because we're not going to be changing this.

Thats why i made the suggestion.
