New York PVP?

[RParade]

No! Under level 30 players who hold an ID have chosen to be part of RP and should not be immune to attack from over level 30 ID holders. What we have at the moment is a spate of under level Xenos etc flying around in full view of lawfuls shooting lawful NPC's and generally acting like complete muppets!

Totally agreed.

For every 1 decently roleplayed pirate/Hacker you see, there are at least 10 others who'll be total wankers and jerks on a universal scale.

I think regardless of level, if you engage another ship you should be attackable. Especially if you're a Xeno who mindlessly fights on Manhattan's porch on a daily basis, which most of them seem to do (and I've seen a few LH characters do this too, so).

I like the new rule. Newbies need the opportunity to learn about the mod first before having to fend for their lives everywhere they go (including New York, which, roleplay wise, essentially is a "safezone" - every installation there is Military-affiliated and you find more Navy patrols there than you will anywhere else).

If you fly a dagger and you pop some poor chap's CSV, then I can't really see anything being wrong with some random BS coming along and popping your dagger. It's okay if a newbie gets raped after being logged on for one hour, but suddenly it's not if it happens to a pirate character? Hrm. Funny logic, that.

PS: FYI, camping Manhattan and New York engaging newbies is not how you teach them roleplay.
