New York PVP?

[Xoria]

I thought you meant that if they have an ID they should be eligible for any attacks.

That is what Spear originally suggested, and that is what I am arguing against.

I think it is a great idea to make the civilian ID immune from attack.

But allowing Battleships to attack Daggers, Bloodhounds, Dromedaries, and other small ships just because they have a faction ID decreases playability and encourages unsportsmanlike conduct.

This works for lawfuls too. If someone wants to fly Defenders, Patriots or other lawful fighters, they should be able to do so without Rogue Gunboats and Wolfhounds constantly harassing them.

My suggestion preserves the playability of the smaller ships while encouraging them to use the authentic Tag and ID for their roleplay. People don't use those small ships much because there aren't many people to play with in comparable ships. Making them subject to attack if authentically roleplayed makes them even less attractive than they already are.

Making faction ID's subject to attack by any player will discourage the roleplaying use of those ID's by small ships and encourage them to be hunted by uber ships. That doesn't make the game more fun for anyone, and it gives immature players a way of harassing others that doesn't violate the rules.
