Admin Notice: Changes to server rule 4.1 and 4.3

[ABlix]

I will be honest, this rule change has quite negatively affected my enjoyment of Discovery since it has come in as it has drastically cut down on the potential for roleplay.

Previously if I was outside a station on a trader and I saw a red on scanners it would be a good opportunity for a big of roleplay.

Now, as soon as I see anyone who I don't recognise, it's time to dock to avoid being locked out of my character/the system for two hours, which in a weekday means my entire window to play.

I've always gone out of my way to avoid being a "silent trader" and I am perfectly happy to interact with pirates (or anybody else) it makes the game more fun, but the potential downsides now are so great that it doesn't appear to be worth the risk
