This is why the rules clearly say "No
assassination/challenge on a character unless you have
clear info he's not friendly."

This is why I should probably read the Gunboat rules first, before giving an
opinion. But "clear info" seems a bit off to me. So if you are not fully
certain, you can't kill the character? Wow, would really suck to loose
Urzahil to an agent of the enemy, and you knew his name but couldn't do
anything. Since you were not absolutely sure he was the enemy. I think I
will be sticking with normal style games.

Not strictly the case - there are situations where you can - say for example at a pc you own.

You can but the game is different to the normal game. Some things more enjoyable actually.

Since you were not absolutely sure he was the enemy. I think I
