Good old Twisp had this to say on this matter, earlier.
[3:10:33 PM] Twisp River: Here's the thing
[3:10:42 PM] Twisp River: Its like using a sledgehammer to kill a mouse
[3:11:08 PM] Twisp River: Yes, the problem is solved, but they chose the most untactful, beligerent, stupid, destructive way of solving it
[3:11:35 PM] Twisp River: You could make it more case sensitive, rather than using a catch-all such as before
[3:11:42 PM] Twisp River: I can think of one right now
[3:12:44 PM] Twisp River: "In the event that a transport or freighter falls under attack by another transport or freighter, they may request the help of ANY AND ALL affiliated or allied ships, including destroyers, carriers, battleships, etc."
[3:14:15 PM] Twisp River: Also, the whole business with transport exemption from 4 hour rule enforcement needs to be attuned so that they are only forced to remain out of the system for four hours if they are destroyed by a vessel which is either actively warring or hostile to their faction, or if the vessel is undertaking activities deemed illegal by the affiliated body of the ship which destroys the transport
[3:14:31 PM] Twisp River: Those two rules would fix everything they're trying to fix without making people pissed off
[3:14:49 PM] Twisp River: Seriously, I dont understand why people find rule administration so hard
[3:15:18 PM] Kaiwяen˞: Can I quote all of that in the thread for this?
[3:15:28 PM] Twisp River: Sure
