About Players who lag.

[Unit-sk855]

You guys defending laggers with giving examples of why rules against them should not be implemented dont need to worry.

Do you guys really think that any such rule would seriously be considered? Just because someone on here is overzealous about how they feel about laggers doesnt mean you guys have anything to worry about rule wise.

Such people vent then forget about it within a few hours. They will probably go and find something else to complain about, and this issue will be forgotten entierly.

The real point here was the one lagging using it as an exploit to further his own combat goals. Exploitation is cheating, and cheating is sanctionable. Now if someone is lagging, and does not realize it no problem. If someone is lagging, and is repeatedly abusing it, while knowing what it is doing, that is just wrong.

So you guys that trade, explore, and play nice and fair knowing that your lagging, i salute you.

To the ones that run downloads so all the rest of us float in straight lines, well repeated offenses are easily frapsed. And im sure multiple cases of this will be dealt with within the current rules, and no others need be made.

So if you dont know what lag is, look for this.

If you are fighting, and your enemy is warping around, and your getting hit after they pass you and clearly are not shooting at you, they are lagging.

If your shield is up and your hull is getting hit and your not in a planet or a sun, your enemy is lagging.

If your enemies are flying around, then they seem to engine kill and float in a straight line with no attempt to dodge at all, then they warp once and float around again, you are lagging and need to pay attention to the blinking yellow or red computer icon.

LAG has nothing to do with RP. Therefore, it shouldn't be a huge issue here unless the person is pvp whoring which would be an issue in and of itself.

if someone is gunning to kill you for an RP reason, and that person is lagging, it is a very very influential event for your RP. Having an invincible opponent with a warp drive is silly, and as such for RP's sake, the fight should be called off until a better connection or stable connection can be established.

But dont worry about being repremanded for lagging, unless you are repeatedly abusing your extra advantages gained from it.

And im not saying that anyone related to any of these posts is a repeat exploiter. Just pointing out that repeat exploiters will be the ones in trouble, not people that just had a bad day of connection.
