==================== RULE: 4.3 Docking during combat with hostiles in docking message range (15k) counts as PvP Death, except for Traders QUESTION: What was wrong with 10k? When it was reduced to 10k it made things better, why the need to revert back to 15k? Furthermore 'Traders' is a bit vague. Would be good to clarify to stop people 'trading' in Battleships. ==================== ADMIN/MOD ANSWER: 15k is how far it is you see the docking message, hence if you see a docking message, that counts as a PVP death. Traders: Transports, Liners, Freightors.
==================== RULE: 4.2 Only one reasonable demand during each piracy interaction QUESTION: For a rule overhaul, the rule regarding piracy still seems very vauge. And since we've had sanctions where 'shut up' was considered a valid demand, the way in which this rule is enforced in it's current state may be highly questionable and also very confusing to players. ==================== ADMIN/MOD ANSWER: "Shut up" was not actually the reason. added to the above.
==================== RULE: 4.1 If you die, that character/ship does not re-log for 2 hours and the player on any of their ships cannot reengage for 2 hours QUESTION: I think this is very harsh. I know a lot of players in this community get very upset if they die in a PvP encounter. I think making it so that they're not even allowed to take their ship or even just their characters to another system just to RP is very excessive, and could actually further encourage griefing. It might also discourage activity because it means after dying in one system a player can't go play elsewhere. ==================== ADMIN/MOD ANSWER:Edited, and added above.
==================== RULE: 3.1 Swearing and insulting outside of RP QUESTION: So can we now say rude words inRP? ==================== ADMIN/MOD ANSWER: As long as it's not caught by the swear filter, and is not unreasonable (Like spamming the B word in caps over and over), then yes.
Have all our offences, excluding those currently undergoing permabans, been reset? Yes. But as you can see, the punishments if you break a rule is a LOT more severe.
