There is no doubt we are enjoying the RP being in the same faction. And I think it was possibly remiss, in hindsight, to be seen working together carting hull plates building a base even though neither of us thinks base building is trading or mining.
The wording of the Rule, as has been pointed out by my dear darling daughter, can be taken as not to be playing together mining or trading. We keep both our regular mining and transporting separate as it is important to support the spirit for which the rule is written. Namely Multiboxing - one player running two (or more) ships simultaneously.
We have been playing our own game for the last six months independently and much of the time we probably have both been on at the same time. This is the first faction we have been in together, and we prefer our own Independence when mining or trading (making credits). But we also enjoy building bases together, and building =DSE- as a faction.
Never-the-less there is a bit of a quandary being in a trade/mining faction together living at the same address. As Undertaker rightly pointed out that mining and transportation are the DSE's raison d'être. It is necessary to abide by the rules, and it is necessary for =DSE- to go about their lawful business.
I'm going to flick this back to the Admin to give direction on this.
I also like Undertaker am happy to refrain from flying my DSE ships if she is using hers in the interim pending the deliberations of the Admin. Hopefully we both can get our ships returned as we need them at a crucial stage of base building.
