Admin Notice: Rule 6.6

[Zukeenee]

Awww...no more long range piracy. ;(

So your sayin its no longer allowed to sit in gamma and pirate traders in liberty.... This is the death of piracy as we know it.....

Well, the rule revolves around destroying a ship in relation to making a demand. Going by the letter here, you can still demand whatever you want in green text. You just can't back it up with gunfire if the victim refuses.

So-called "long range piracy" is still allowed, it seems. Whether or not it works, though, is a different story. Not like you could shoot a transport from a dozen systems away, anyway.

I actually agree with this change, it needed to happen in my opinion.
It sucks seeing someone get shot at and there appearing to be noRP - when they were just doing that via PM.

And I agree with Zukeenee, it does look like long range piracy is ok as you wont be killing them, just make sure to RP and issue a demand and what not before you kill them if you get to that point.

Actually primarily to stop paperwork.

Ahh cool. It's fine, we should all agree.

By the way, it doesn't really changes a thing.

Besides new reason to blame admins, whine and be all butthurt about new changes.

And yes. I agree that this change is great. If you want to pirate someone under the nose of lawfuls or hunters, accept the risk.

To admins: Wouldn't it be better to use appropriate subforum?..

Cant we change this, to:

Any kind of PvP engamement must based on system or local chat? It could be weird when a player starts to fire on somebody due private chat while others just:blink: about a sudden attack...

This change sounds nice. If it is easier to take part in some pirate actions as "third party" for instance, it all would be more interesting for others as well. I, personally, don't see a problem with this...and if thinking further, I agree it would remove some unnecessary and annoying argueing about that topic.

[Jim.Solo]

At least I didn't ever -hear- about someone demanding in pm before. :$

I've been pirated at least twice in PM.

As I recall, when I asked why are you talking to me in PM, the reply was along the lines of "I feel like it" or "I don't want the law spoiling the party" or something like that; I'd have to trawl back through my logs for the exact wording !! :D

I'm sure you get the drift :nyam:

I guess this is because you want to harmonize it with the new exception you want to add for rule 6.7, so lawful caps can actually see that a pirate transport is really pirating?

Good to make proving stuff easier and making rules consistent, but I think it's going the wrong way. You should simplify the rules instead of adding more and more exceptions. Drop rule 6.7 and make pirate cruisers really crappy. Problemo solved.

I guess because of the upcoming rule 6.7 change, that was proposed by Jax?

The ability to issue demands in PMs was one of the possible loopholes to overcome it.

I'm hoping for the rule be removed rather than more exceptions added.

Actually primarily to stop paperwork. It could be construed as destruction of a trader without a demand if seen by a third party, and in fact has been. Someone could get sanctioned very easily for having done nothing wrong. That loophole needs closing.

That makes sense.

will you just stop repeating that ridiculously stupid idea.
Ships are balanced for Pvp, not roleplay, nub.
