in rule 3.6 I can see reasons behind it but also I can see where that can be taken advantage of. point in case if someone was sitting and had say a emergency to attend to with in the realm of real life and it is a matter where they do not have the time to dock. along comes a player that do a minimum of 2 sentence and wait fire on the ship and receive no return fire. it would be clear that said person is not in attendance of their ship. lets be very clear no one is willing to take that kind of fire and not return it if they are in attendance of the ship.
there should be some prevision for these type of instances. free kills does nothing for good RP
Yes, it is not very nice and some people are very happy to take advantage of this. It would be nice for people to be excellent to one another, but some people enjoy upsetting others and will quite gladly justify it to others and themselves why they can do it. It is unlikely to be incorporated in to the Rules - St.Denis
