Suicidal ramming and fake suicidal ramming

[SMGSterlin]

I would just shoot him, I mean, if he's in a Starflea, it must be a lolwut, and keeps dieing anyways, so what's the harm in doing it?:P

I ended up deciding to oneshot him after he equipped three stunpulses and dropped my shields.

"Is it against the rules?"

Are you serious? Just bloody ignore it.

Yes, it might be annoying, but if you go and try to shoot at them or sanction them or whatever, you're doing EXACTLY WHAT THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET YOU TO DO.

They're just trying to piss you off. Don't let them.

The only part about it that bothered me was that other people were commenting on it and arresting me for it in RP. I am guessing that would bother you too. Also consider that it is possible for a malicious user to take screenshots and make the case that I am actually repeatedly hunting him out and ramming him.

This is what I'd do;

*Open up lolrp comlink*

"Starflae, wake up! Your heading straight for my ship. I'm going to have to ask you to change course or I'll have to do it for you, son. I'll give you three warnings to halt and disengage me."

Yes. Say he is engaging you. Do it! I believe that in the real world of Freelancer that "suiciding" or fireboating is very popular, and considered a serious form of attack (fireboating was used by the English to destroy the whole Spanish armada, you know?). Infact, when he drops your shields below 50% that gives you more than enough reason to blast him to smithereens.

as far as i see it he atackt you first by raming you without a rp notice thus breaking this server rule : 5.2 All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. "Engaging" is not sufficient. An attack is any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%. Being hit with a CD is not considered an attack. If a player is attacked he has a right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking.

also here are some more rulles wich might help you : 5.3 Characters that are level 29 and below may only be attacked if at least one of the following conditions is met:

a) They do not have a civilian ID. Recruit IDs should be respected if the person is using it appropriately.
b) They attack you first by draining your shields to 50% or disrupt your cruise engines.
c) They are at the scene of a battle between yourself and someone else and refuse to leave when told to leave. (Civilians should leave the area when combat takes place or accept the risk of being attacked if remaining. Onlookers are fair targets.)
d) Civilians who possess a CODENAME weapon may be attacked within roleplay at any level according to the piracy requirements.
.

also if he dies and keeps to get death this rule still aplays : 5.8 A player who was killed in a PvP fight must not attack the enemy (player or players involved in the death) with any of the characters on his/her account(s) for 4 hours. Self-killing during a PvP fight is counted as a normal PvP death.


now i know there was/is a oficial rule about ramming but i cant find it anywhere.

in any player contact wich will result in pvp i make screenshots. also how he/me died and such. if someone ever would make a report i have evidence with chatlog on just to cover my back.

hope this is helpfull , and if someone knows the location of the ramming rule please post rule . Friendly greetings from

@Disco: You got it, sadly I forgot to file a report on that guy.

Such behaviour is definitely harming server gameplay and not just some minor annoyance.
As Ingenious described it, it was disrupting his game- and roleplay as he got RP responses.
Such things ain't funny at all.

If he annoys you, tell him to stop. Screenshot yourself telling him to stop with a timestamp. If he keeps doing it, screenshot that with a timestamp.

Report for harassment.
