TNG Servers and No PK''ing...Why???

Wed Jul 16, 2003 12:56 pm by pablo2001jedi

Ok before I get flamed, I belive no PK'ing should be done in New York for NEW players.....but for those who are Lvl 38 they should be elagable to be PK'ed.

The reason is this. I use Bitch's server and I have only seen 1 or 2 people out side Liberty space and the Nexus, there are plenty of ppl in Liberty who are lvl 38.Now my Clan is a Pirate clan, hence we attack ALL players steal there cargo, sell it, p*ss em off then have a nice cupa tea :-)

. I want to cause havok and harm to all...but without getting kicked.

So my proposal is that PK'ing SHOULD be allowed everywhere as long as the players are lvl 38 .... no place should be safe!!!!

Especially from us.

So your saying that ppl lvl 38+ should beable to fight in NY?

Reason for no PvP in NY:
Noob joins in NY
see's the fight doesn't engade brain, gets involved
Gets killed
They respawn try again gets killed again
bitches at the Pkers in NY

Hence reason Reason for no PvP in NY

But a noob should know they can not engage a lvl 38 player in the beginning, as it will do f*ck all.

all I mean is that some servers get too boring and lvl 38 players staying around Liberty, rules are no PvP in Liberty space. So our clan can not attack these ppl, we would only attack lvl 38 players in Liberty. I want the rules changed!!!
noobs are what they are.........noobs.......if they get involved tough!!!!

Our clan will never engage a player in Liberty who's lvl is less than 38.

Then you dont understand human nature, some noob see's a fight they will get involved, especially when its in NY.

So be it lvl 1 fighting lvl 1 or a lvl 38 pking in NY theres no PVP in NY if the rule says so, end off.

If not find a different server.

ny should remain a safe place !
there are many reasons
mainly because of noobs
in sp you ARE god in ny in a starflyer
enter mp culture shock !
you just dont appreciate at first what a non ai eagle ,fully armed can do to you and how fast
scenario 2 just bought game and go online result terror as a sabre rips you apart when you undock ,"because he thought you were from clan [blah blah" result game in bin and a player lost
the other is simple if its allowed people will take the mick out admins
"sorry i thought he was l38 " etc
one other interesting thought about using l 38 as a pk rule
i have fully armed eagles on a couple of servers with very little cash
dont need it i use guns (bats and bots dont cost that much)around l33 or 34
if i attacked a l38 player he wouldnt be allowed to fire back or would he have to hold his fire
enter the prats ,kill a noob in a starflier "he fired first" prove otherwise!
result ;poor admin gets it in the neck along with all the other headaches we all know about that they have to deal with
bottom line keep it simple and safe for noobs and admins

There's Liberty and then there's NY.

NO PvP in NY. Absolute. No exceptions.

As for the rest of Liberty, if no noobs around,
as Admin I'd turn a blind eye to PvP. Not dock
camping or obnoxious PvP, but Duels & Role Play.
(Consensual) (for high level players only)

Grey areas are good sometimes, as we all know.

Just my $.02

Ok from that point of view I agree........

NY should be a safe haven but nowhere else in Liberty, ie Texas, Cal...

And for the TNG Mod the Nexus should not be a safe haven

Do you agree on that?

While I agree it's daft that lvl38+ players with kick-ass weapon loadouts hang around PK-free areas, I don't think exluding them from the PK rules can work:

1. How would n00bs know not to get involved? You should assume a n00b knows *nothing*, which is why they are a n00b!

2. You can't have one rule for some people and another for others, it simply won't work! People will abuse the exclusions or make mistakes so the no-PK rules will just go out of the window!

3. Just because a player is lvl38 doesn't mean they want or are even equipped for combat! You could just as easily have a lvl38 player who has made money trading and is flying a freighter or even traded back down to a light fighter!

I think any public server not specifically targeted at experienced should have and ENDORSE a PK-free area if only to encourage new players and keep the Freelancer community going. Personally I think one system is enough, New York being the obvious choice. ONE safe system hardly limits the game for those who want to PK.

If he is lvl 38 and is flying around in a Light fighter of a frieghter then anything he loses will be meaningless as he could easily just buy it back. But I agree that high lvl players should be able to attack each other no matter where they are. Heck, I consider anyone above lvl 15 to be a viable target for pirating thier cargo.

Thanks DaVoid for the backup although lvl 15 is a bit low, but I agree with your other point anyone whos a lvl 38 will have millions to spare so taking them out would not be an issue.
