' Wrote:It just was a try of a few indies to express them selfs. It all started in Cambridge then I built a base without authorization for ore extraction. I wasn't thinking at that time that there are rules for that.
But the main problems was that lawfulls was talking to me like I would be a misery. Like they are almighty Gods. I took it personal and wanted to show that an indie have a word to say. That's why I build with a friend of mine this one.
I just didn't expected that junkers will get into this, and that they would be so active. They sieged non stop the base for 2 days. Before attack. And we needed just 2-3 hours to finish weapon platforms. And my friend wasn't online at that time. Bad luck. What can I say...
That's how authorities are. The way they were and will always be.
And building your base so close to an existing base was a bad idea imo. Above or below the E/F 6/7 or E/F 2/3 fields would've been a better location fo such a base.
I knew they will attack and I hoped I will be able to sneak to Trafalgar and bring alloy for repairs. That's why I used that location.
In my opinion some officials are killing this game. They should be a bit more friendly to indies and noobs. They where keeps saying "this is ridiculous that you did, building a base here" in Cambridge. Like I would kill a person in real life. They enforce they will like they are only owners of the server. That's why I would never join an official faction. Wake up we are a community. Imagine all indies and noobs will go, with who you will play? A few players from other official factions? And it will max 50 players in 200+ systems?
I think it's a really bad thing for game play - ownership of factions. IMHO it will be better if leaders would be elected. Like presidents in real life at a set interval. Then a person know he can loose his place if he is scum he may try to improve his attitude to get sympathy of others.
I started to play this game again then I've seen that it was updated to a new release and there are some interesting possibilities like base building, cloaks and so on. But I remember for sure that then I played it for a few months 2 years ago there was many times I could not enter the server because it was full. Now I don't see it to be full since I play from this spring. This mean people are going away. Too bad, because it's an interesting game.
But I won't leave the game right now. Now I have a goal - to make officials feel that they are not 100% owners of the server.
It's called role play, if you went into the middle of the street and started building a house you would be arrested and what little you had successfully built would be demolished and removed.
My problem is not that base was demolished. My problem is with that attitude it was done. Btw the first BAF that contacted me about that base was nice and explained me where I should register it. Even gave me link to the forum if I remember right. But others acted like scums, in special demolition team. It's all about atitude. Why by example official Bowex) then was meeting my transport in space was saying "Gateway you suck" ?

I will only comment selectively, because I don't really want to get dragged into this discussion.
On the matter with Trafalger: basic string of actions when you want to plan anything: think, talk, act
On the matter of some officials ruining the game: look at the recent developments within the LSF, but then again other factions (seem to (?)) work fine

First sentence is very true. There's a common proverb that says it's easier to ask for forgiveness than beg permission. Not so here - doing so gets your investment destroyed or marginalised. Lay down the groundwork, discuss the situation with relevant parties, gather allies, prepare logistics - then launch your project. If, for example, you'd had the Junkers on-side with this one, you'd probably have got away with it.
As for officials, most faction leadership works via two methods - popular mandate, or applied effort. Usually both. A faction leader holds their position through the consent of their members, and by putting effort into the group. If either of those falls out of whack, you've got an issue - i.e. a leader the members hate, or a leader who's abandoned the faction or otherwise neglects it.

That's nothing against you only that Bowex and Gateway don't have the best relationship and when they meet in space tell eachother their mind so to speak.;)
Though normaly Bowex) only does that to the Tagged Gateway ships not the Indies.
