Hello! I was talking about this issue with a GM and the Zeppelin tower guards aswell as the neutral goblin factions doesn't pull up their guns when someone assaults you on the boat ETC. Normally in vanilla they swapped to their rifles and shot you off the boat.
People have been abusing this I won't put any names as i've already discussed it with a GM ingame but it would be great if the mods could fix this issue. =)
