Rules of Engagement

[finius]

In my honest opinion, I understand you are trying to do something constructive, but what you do not realise is that no-one cares, and no-one will follow any rules in a fight like that, provided they are not breaking the current no PvP rules, people will do as they wish, I myself a constantly being accused of using shieldbats and nanobots, it's something we all vary on, I always thought that if I payed for them I should use them, my money my goods right? Fighting 4k from a station? Surely it's your loss if you shoot a station and get the NPC's there all angry at you, maybe you should work on your aim for that one? And a limited number of deaths? That one isn't going to work, theres used to be a three death rule, it resulted in alot of confusion, I never really understood it, it could just have been some sort of myth I picked up in my own little world, anyway, the fact of the matter was, no-one could hold it up, if someone did it to me, I would have left the battle, flown to a different system, and come back to start a new battle, there are loopholes round it.

Rules for engagement would have to be longer than necessary to cover everything, so heres what I say, if you want rules in a fight, arrange them actually before your fight, not on the server, because every battle is different.
