Elite going gold soon - PK explained
Soon the server Elite will be going gold. So far it has been a great place for people to use the earlier versions of the game to get their feet wet. We're going to have Player Killing turned on for sure. Remember this, we're going to encourage a zero tolerance of PK'ing withing the Liberty system. This definitely includes the New York System. The Texas, California and Colorado systesm are part of Liberty too. 
The reason why we're doing this is simple, it can be fairly hard and very frustrating early in the game to get started building a character on a new server. We want people to enjoy themselves, and get used to the controls and MP experience before going out into the deep water where the sharks are. 
What does this mean to you? If you are attacked within the systems listed above by another live pilot, send and email to the email address listed in the server news or myself and we'll have a little "chat" with the offender. If I'm on the server, then by all means just chat with me within game. If they are not willing to change their ways then we will deal with them on a case by case basis, but this would include kicking or potentially banning them from the server. But there are three sides to every story...yours, theirs..and the facts. We'll be fair to everyone.
We all have heard of players "enhancing" their characters too. Although there's not much that can be done about that at this time, if they are using that ability against others, we'll probably not be to kind to them either. We had a vote and overwhelmingly people wanted to have PK turned on the server. We just don't want people to take advantage of this and prey on new people. We're here to promote the Freelancer game for everyone and this policy seems to work best for everybody involved. We're here to have fun folks, lets just be a little considerate of others so they can enjoy it too.
If you venture out of Liberty sector, then you're on your own! Take some friends with you and settle it in space! If I'm on the server, I'd love to be involved in that sort of battle. Hehe, bring it! I know of a few other people that would love to engage in combat.

That is if I'm not to busy paying back the Liberty police for being.... Liberty Police!
