You are pretty wrong here. ID doesn't override the Rule 3.1, as there is no such a line that allows players to shoot without RP. No ID is allowed to attack without prior roleplay, as at least two lines are required.
Quote:Can freely engage any ship - except other Nomad or Wild player ships, in the Omicrons, except for Omicron Alpha and Omicron Gamma.
Yep. The worst has happened, we’ve provided for another open engagement ID. That’s right, fire away, no roleplay is required, although it certainly is encouraged. The Order, and BHG Core also have corresponding lines in their IDs, so give those a look too when you have a moment. These three are designed to fit together in a way that will, hopefully, allow for a more full realization of just how dangerous the Omicrons can be. Order and Core, I hope you guys are up for some action, after which you’ll be in range to shoot each other. What’s not to like?
All except in Alpha and Gamma, though. Nomad ID bearing players must meet the roleplay requirements established by the rules in at least these two systems.
Freely engage means what it says. It was stated multiple times by the admins in the past, I just took the first thread I found. K'Hara and probably Wilde are the exception since they demand from their members to roleplay, but they could just open fire if they wanted/needed to.
Granted I forgot to mention IDs which have specific targets they can freely engage only (I don't know every ID from the top of my head).
Also, neither rule 1.3
Quote:1.3 Every player must have one ID equipped on their ship. Player should follow the restrictions and allowances listed in their ID and their roleplay and conduct must match the actions of their characters. In cases where these restrictions and allowances conflict with the server rules, the ID overrides the rules.
nor rule 3.1 itself say anything about the ID override not applying in any case.
Quote:3.1 An attack is any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%. Saying "Engaging" is not sufficient and aggressors are not allowed to destroy a ship before allowing sufficient time to respond. If a player is attacked he has the right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking. Trading nanobots, shieldbatteries or other ammo and equipment during a fight is also considered taking an active role in the engagement.
