Overhaul Sieging Rules.

[Kauket]

Neutral isn't friendly. The ID allowed it.

I don't see anything in the Blood Dragon ID that outright states it can shoot neutral POBs on a whim (at the very most, not without credits first, if you want to treat it as a ship - I would liken a POB to a transport more than a fighter). I can't think of any roleplay reason why a Blood Dragon would attack a POB for no reason. Even the roleplay itself was contradictory and made no sense within its own writing.

But the choice of ID wasn't the point, it was the point that you were inviting people to harm you by not doing what everyone else did, which is making a shield module. You wouldn't leave your baby sleep in the park unattended, would you?

So if someone started making lots of ships to specifically to gank and hunt you into the ground, it'd be entirely your fault for inviting that in the first place? You can see the flawed logic here. You can't blame the player for inviting that toxicity - how could they have even known? And if they were supposed to have known, then that's just sad: has this community gotten to the point where we need to be constantly watching our backs, in fear of other player(s) trying to attack us for personal reasons?

This is going off topic but what I'm saying is that you can potentially deter people from targetting you or harming you quickly or instantly. There's no way of stopping griefers and circlejerkers, they'll always be there, but the least that can happen is some rules that prevent their intended course of action or make it a lot less easier for them to attack other players personally. Of course it isn't your fault, but you can do things to help yourself, in this instance, their bases would have been alive if there were shields. And yes, Disco /is/ at that toxic state where you need to ensure you're grief proof, a lot more than what you need to do in other games. But generally in games, it's common sense to not allow yourself to get undermined. I've had my fair share of being circlejerked against for at least the last 6-8 years here, I've had people jumping on different factions to metagame against stations I've made, and I've had oorp alliances happen. (ever seen an Order| ally with a Keeper. ???) I KNOW what it's like to get bandwagoned against - and let me restate the fact that you aren't always at fault, I know that. It's pretty sad when hl2rp servers have higher consistency standards of roleplay when compared to disco sometimes. (yes, heavily derailing, but let's get back to the point)


Not all people can grief by destroying bases, they can also be a pest with building it too. What about factions without official groups? How would getting official backing work without a native official faction?

Side note, no IDs mention 'can attack POBs' - but this is still present. I don't think they're treated as transports by the rules.

Can attack any ships within their Zone of Influence, except transports.
