Under Level Players ?

[Xoria]

I think there should be a glass ceiling; PvP allowed between lvl 30 and below, and between lvl 31+, but not between the two groups.

I completely agree with Zapp.
I am totally and completely opposed to anything that prevents "under 30's" from fighting each other in NY or anywhere else.

I propose:
An "over 30" who kills an "under 30" :

First Offense : no less than 7 days in the prison system; possible loss of credits/guns

Second Offense : obviously this is the work of a sadistic serial killer who should receive the death penalty. Deletion of the character from the server.

Anyone can make a mistake once, but twice is the beginning of a pattern.

If the ability of "under 30's" to fight each other is removed, there is no point whatsoever in having the small ships available because they will be completely useless. Adding credits to a Dagger or Patriot to make them above rank 30 only makes them primetime targets for HFs and VHFs. Having the "under 30 rule" is absolutely necessary to prevent the unsportsmanlike conduct of many players who WILL kill small ships because they are easy targets. The "under 30" rule is the mandatory enforcement of good sportsmanship, because so many people do not practice it voluntarily.

Keeping the ability of players to PvP with each other separated by this rule allows players to fight each other in small ships like the Dagger and Patriot without worrying too much about being harassed and abused by uber ships. It may not be completely realistic, but it is a necessity to make things FUN. And that is the whole point. If realism gets in the way of fun, throw out realism and do what makes the game fun.
