I post this because i run into trouble trying to fly to Omicron Gamma sector from Omicron-41, and someone has built a hostile "POB" (at least against my characters), which defenses are very close to the jump hole. I mean with "very close", that can destroy a light ship even before can control it after the jumping in, or make a heavy damage to a medium cargo vessel.

Quote:The new rule is that a base cant upgrade past core 2 if it is within 15k of a Jumphole or Mining field if i am not mistaken.
However the base your referring to is Puerto del Sol, Which is a Corsair base. It is quite hated for what it does.

If you want to go through go through Theta then to Gamma.

That post has all the server rules on POBs.

Do take the Roleplay Laws into account when you're planning building as well though!

Edit: Looks like the rules are a bit ambiguous about defense platforms, although strictly they are probably considered "part of the base", I would imagine.

(Extracted from Laws of the Corsair Empire)

Quote:7. Corsairs have a duty to defend Corsair territory, bases, colonies and assets. Corsairs must, when possible, aid the defense of the empire. Enemy or hostile vessels that enter Corsair territory or the proximity of Corsair bases must be destroyed.
...
...
Weather a neutral vessel may dock is at the discretion of whoever is guarding the base, and should be judged on a case-by-case basis. Neutral vessels bringing useful cargo should be allowed to dock. Neutral vessels not carrying cargo may be sent away, and told to return with useful cargo for the empire before they are allowed to dock.

Quote:15. Transport of Alien Artifacts throughout Sirius space is to be encouraged. Corsairs must not pirate allied, friendly or neutral vessels carrying a majority cargo of Alien Artifacts. (kos/hostiles should be destroyed)

16. Transport of Food Rations, Luxury Food, Synth Paste, Fertilizers, Pharmaceuticals or other useful materials to Corsair bases (especially Planet Crete) by allied, friendly or neutral vessels is to be encouraged.
Corsairs must not pirate transports bringing these goods to Corsair bases. (kos/hostiles should be destroyed)

16.b) Useful materials include but are not limited to raw or processed metals (including scrap metal), all types of fuel, vital supplies for space stations or battleships (Oxygen, Water, etc), ship components, electronic components, weapons or weapon components, ammo, consumer goods, etc. (kos/hostiles should be destroyed)

Quote:24. Visitors to Corsair territory should, when possible, give advanced warning of their arrival in Corsair territory, and ask for docking clearance before docking, mooring or landing at Corsair bases.

Quote:Clarification
Hostiles are NOT defined as such because they appear red on a ship's radar. Ships such as Zoner or Junker Guard vessels, allied guard vessels, or incoming Samura trade-ships are NOT considered a threat to our security and should not be considered a target under Law 7, or an exception to Law 15 or 17.

-The use of the "hostile-to-almost-all" base setting, is discouraging independent pilots to make the travel to Crete to trade with goods that are listed in the points 15 and 16.

-Allied, friendly or neutral trade vessels that comes to the Corsair territory to trade are protected by their laws in points 15 and 16.

-As the clarification speaks, "Hostiles are NOT defined as such because they appear red on a ship's radar."

-The previous communication from the trader ship to the Corsair Empire, warning of it's arrival, is encouraged, not obliged, as the point 24 speaks.

My request is the modify of the rules inherent to the defense platforms to avoid shooting trade ships. This request doesn't intend the free opening of the Puerto del Sol POB, only the open permission to trade to neutral ships, as the point 7 of the Corsair Empire Laws speaks, without being suppressed by an automated system of defence.

Also what ID does your ship carry? The faction your ship is associated with is important.
