Hone's thread of rule removal.

[Agmen of Eladesor]

I always was curious why is silent attack considered illegal.
It's good to warn the player abut your intensions, right. This isn't a real life, players arent causious every second as the real pilots and it's good to keep it fair. That can be a fired CD, or just couple of shots in space.
But i don't see why is it so necessary to have a talk with the enemy.

Other than that, i think that "fleeing from combat counts as PvP death" rule was quite important as it kept asses from playing no-win game with you.

You don't have to tell a player you're about to shoot them before you shoot them :|

Exactly what Veygaar said, and that's what causes the most issues from people who don't understand this rule.

If I'm a LPI pilot, and I see someone who I could attack, one of the things I do for RP is say something like, "Halt, <ship name>, you have a busted tail light. Pull over so I can check it out." If they actually stop, I am perfectly free to open fire on them - I have performed RP before PvP.

It's been said time and time again on here - all you have to do is role play. You are NOT required to tell someone else, "Okay, I'm going to start shooting you now."

Bounty Hunter - "Hey, look, here comes a paycheck for me, in plain sight. Hi, <ship name>."
LN - "Rheinlanders incoming. Prepare weapons" (Okay, they don't need much)
LPI - "Oh, good, look who brought cardimime into the system that I'll have to clean up now?"
Outcasts - "Amigo, my name in Inigo Montoya - you killed my father ... or maybe you didn't. Let me see your right hand"

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
