Making 'Allowance'

[Vigilia.Procuratio]

1. Removing the F1 rule will encourage heavy transports to disconnect in space when faced with an enemy whom they know cannot possibly destroy their ship before they disappear. The same applies to an armoured capital ship if it's under attack by anything other than another capital ship. Making ships explode if they disconnect will punish players whom lose their connection and also players whom are far from a base where they may dock.
    
   
2. Not allowing people to use jump gates if they're hostile could prevent incursions, scouting and smuggling. This will undoubtedly break many aspects of the game. At the very least it would require the developers to look at the entire jump gate and hole network in order to ensure that players can sufficiently navigate around their zone-of-influence.
    
   
3. The manner in which shields work is fundamental to the game. It is over 10 years old and many players might find it extremely difficult to adjust to such a drastic change. This could, however, be suitable for capital ships.
