Yeah Peet! We can form the "Dutch BodyGaurd Squadron"! For all your save trading flights!

I think we will declare Liberty sector to be no Player kill zone!



Aw man, thats where most of the people will be hanging out though. I would just make it so that players can report people who PK new players or those with a serious tech gap between them.

Speak for yourself, being in the UK I wanted to hang at the Bretiona system :/

Post Sun Feb 09, 2003 9:26 pm

Yeah, Liberty is boring.
Only newbs hanging around
If youre a real man, youre not in Liberty.

BTW This last week is just full of good news !

Liberty = for weak ppl

The standard liberty navy fighter is so weak compared tothe standard rheinland navy fighter, if there was an all out war rheinland would crush liberty

Nah, not only does Liberty have more fighters they have more battleships. Rheinland only has one while Liberty has them all over the place.

while ppl talk about having no-pk systems.. i figure we could expand that to say no random pking... but allowing say, one on one contests in the starting system (that's one system.. not the whole liberty sector)... if you get pissed at someone and want to have an honourable combat, you meet in that system. and when in that system, you target only your opponent and make sure you are well away from the busy parts of the system.
that way newbs can see ace pilots in action without dying 3 seconds later.. and no random ppl get spawn killed (unless they are stupid enough to try to jump in.)

it's a basic idea that could be expanded on... let me know what ya think

...Just a random thought from a random mind

Nah, I think anything that is there as part of the game should be left there. Just my opinion, but except for parking a Titan above Manhattan and killing every Starflier that leaves (bannable offense IMO) it should be left natural. Up to Stinger and them of course.

FYI, discovering who might be "new person hunting" about Manhatten in a Titan is very easy to discover from a server admin standpoint.

Step 1, reasonable chat attempted with offender. Step 2, reasonable chance given to offender to change their ways. Step 3, warning given if compliance to the better good of the community is not seen immediately in their actions. Step 4, kick from server. Step 5, offender continues with the "hunting"...banned for life. Sounds simple enough to me.

The alternative is to gang up on them (this concept has been tried in other MP gaming formats and just doesn't seem to work very well). Another alternative is to turn off the PK capabilites, but that seems a bit rude to other pilots that might be wanting that to stay on and don't camp out above Manhattan.

Post Mon Feb 10, 2003 11:26 am

I'm somewhat for PKing on the other hand, just have a few areas where it is allowed, but only when both parties agree.

HOWEVER. if someone opens fire on me without asking or listining to my requests to stop i will destroy that person every time i see him/her

lol. I think we should leave PKilling on and have a 'neutral Zone' in the middle of nowhere.

Post Mon Feb 10, 2003 4:19 pm

I am in favor of a Neutral Zone.
I think it would be best if it would be in the Liberty Sector (not the entire sector), large enough to gain some experience and buy some equipment before going into "deep space" .
Then again, I don't know if this is possible with the server-software.
