Pirates - the newcomer's reaction.

[JohnyWalker]

Admins, please keep an eye again around Pennsylvania, overall with some NEW WILD ships apearing there... I think the pirate/wild/xeno (or whatever) destroying an inocent transport just because a police aproach to you isnt fair, that inocent has nothing against you... THIS happening recently and newbies paying with their lifes without sense.

I don't think this is a very good idea and would actually be a step backwards to the no RP/no PVP rule we had in New York back in 2006. Let me break it down for you.

I'm entirely against rule sets which serve to coddle others. Always have been. But this is especially important as this wouldn't affect vets, but rather people who don't even have a solid grasp on what the game is about and how the community works just yet.

Piracy in Pennsylvania encourages them to roleplay, fly intelligently, hire escorts, and interact with the community at large. Do I think people should keep the old rule 0.0 in mind and be more thoughtful of the little guys? Absolutely. But the minute you start imposing rules which affect new players you slowly begin to change the attitude of the server as a whole.

This should be a game about people interacting with other people regardless of circumstance. Not a game where interactions are arbitrarily decided to be legitimate or not based on a number or an IFF or an ID. The piracy encounters help them learn, and if you're that concerned then help police the system as I know you and many others have already been doing.

I agree with all that... for sure!.... i say it because we are some players sure about a recent perma banned player for broking several rules is back with other name... and still attacking all newbies around. The consequence is those new players dont like this and they leave us.

I must agree Pirates SHOULD be everywhere! that is one of the fun part of the game... but there is nothing funny when there are some others trolling/abusing/harasing/interfering/killing...

My apologize if you thought i was talking about other things hehehehe, its just because that CRAZY killer love to attack smallers for fun, its a real threat for the newbies eyes.

I say again, Pennsylvania without threats would be bored (for some players hehe) and not only that, those encounters ARE NEEDED for newbies learn how to interact with pirates, but recently they have no chance for interact with them when they just shout one word and blew up the newbie...(Later shouting him "you are dead, leave the system"...

As newbie system, it need a bit more effort from everyone to keep newbies learning, not leaving.

Penny should not be free from roleplay, but at the same time rule 0.0 should be in use by all the sides. As well as common sense and server rules.

I never said about free from roleplay... totally reversed, Pennsylvania MUST have much more PURE roleplaying for newbies learn interactions.
