It sounds you have overextended yourself and it is your own fault for abusing a mechanic flaw. Your own fault, at this point.

You do not.
You are right, I have willingly installed, turned on, played this game and wanted to add something to it in my own way.

Im sorry, it looks like my common sense is different, than what you expected.

Letting the Base suffer heavy damage before repairing it, is also not reasonable RP (Bases require some form of RP to destroy, granted it is minimal), but what you have been doing, is not a realistic way of doing things.

Im not sure, if you are referring to "keeping crew on ship" or that idea of unlawful base, built/maintained by enslaved crews.

In the former case, the crew does not actually die, and can consume FOW when put on POB.
I see the problem here. Maybe having FOW on said ship carrying Crew would be the solution? Looking at it from this perspective, all liners transporting Humans should have some provisions on board, but I rarely see players doing it.

In case it is the latter, that sounds like completely valid and reasonable RP. Although evil and grim, but that is beside the point.

I guess this heavily depends on the purpose of the base. When it is some sort of factory/trading hub/headquarters then I would agree with you. But when the base is an analog of a shack in the woods, it is more the other way around.

"Spirit" is highly subjective matter. That is why game mechanics and rules exist. We are not same people and are bound to have different opinions on stuff. To achieve what we want around here, we do what we can, sometimes even what we can not.

That is most likely true and you would probably need a full time paid lawyer to do it properly.

On the other hand, something, that had multiple people get sanctioned as evident here https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...tid=127667 and what is to be expected to be used (given how much it affects time and credits requirement for POBs) SHOULD be there.

What actually upset me in the first place, was that something I considered completely valid technique and what I devised my plans upon, has been suddenly proclaimed an exploit.

The fact, that the staff actually acknowledged that they knew about this years ago, and yet did not do anything to prevent it, does not really help the case, in my point of view.
