Neutral shipping

Newby question.
What's the go with neutral ships?
I have been leaving them alone, but I just came accross a convoy of mixed red and green ships, and I couldn't resist a green T3.
Should I go stand in the naughty corner, or just enjoy the moment?
Serious question (not the naughty corner bit).

Try not sink neutral ships for 2 reasons:

1.- you lose renown for every neutral ship you sink.
2.- If you sink a neutral ship, you become a foe for the next 24 hours and if you are spotted, you will be fired upon. Don't try to sink neutrals or friendly, specially near neutral ports...

Reminds me of that time when I first played the game. I only sank neutral ships the whole day without knowing it

Well, personally I disabled all negative renown for sinking neutrals and have the following policy which I choose to abide by:

If they're a darkened ship traveling directly to or from Britain with suspicion of aiding their war effort, then they're a valid target. My understanding is that for the majority of the war the Germans had the same basic outlook. So have fun I say!
