]Actually, in guard systems, and systems owned by players, like Omi 100, I can kill a trader without warning and the trader can't do anything about it.
edit- but ofcourse I don't, I ask them to leave and if they don't I kill them, I don't care about how much money they have or what they're carrying.
edit 2- and yeah, killing on sight in 100 makes sence because the Order would want it's secrets kept away from public eyes and anyone who sees what we're up to can't be kept alive, too risky for us.[/quote]
So to heck with the rules is what you are saying? Check out this nugget:
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>4.6 Remember that Discovery is a roleplaying server. Factions and faction members (just like all other players) are obliged to act in the way their reputation and status require. Factions are expected to set an example in role-play.</blockquote>
Order are only enemies of those on their enemy list. And only allied to those on their ally list. You are still required to ROLE PLAY ... KOS is not role play ... its PVP.
And yet another little nugget for you:
<blockquote class="mycode_quote"><cite>Quote:</cite>4.7 Sanctions for violating faction rules by one player range from a warning to a credit/equipment fine and placing inside the prison system. Sanctions for out-of-RP behaviour in-game depends on amount of other server rules violated, including OOC chat rules, PvP engagement rules, ID rules, and others. Sanctions for out-of-RP behaviour include a credit/equipment fine and placing inside the prison system, as well as ban if accompanied by more serious violations.</blockquote>
You might wanna take note to the part underlined.
[quote= Wrote:Standard pvp rules dont apply in guard systems. The owning faction (player or otherwise) is fully able to attack anyone and everyone in the system that they dont want there. I never said I dont scan for ID's, but it takes me all of two seconds to do so.
If you arent order, you dont belong there. 100 is a guard system, and we dont have to give you any warning. Generally we do, however - a single, short verbal warning to turn around and leave the system back the way you came, if you're new in that system. If you ignore that warning, or are a previously encountered smuggler/trader/whatever who has abused the system before, you get no such luxury.
Try again Tenacity ... and read what I've quoted above. Server rules still must be followed. Faction rules add to the rules ... they do not replace them. And faction rules (established by the faction) are required for all faction members to follow ... even if you are flying your Bs| vessels outside Omicron 100.
Tenacity ... I thought you said you were not part of any faction. You are a strange bird.
Here's something else to examine. According to faction creation rules, the Order is required to have 8 active members. Funny thing is ... I've not seen more than 2 running around in the last couple months.
Quote:4.4 If a faction has only 1-4 active members, its status is changed to suspended. Suspended faction has 4 weeks to regain lost numbers, otherwise its existence comes to an end.
Now I know DBoy has a lot at stake here with regard to his faction. You guys might wanna make sure you understand Black Squadron ... that is ... if you are a part of his faction. If not ... you have no business "patrolling" Omicron 100 ... no more than the indies do in New York.
Here's the description of Black Squadron by the way:
Quote:Black Squadron are an elite wing of Order pilots working to destroy what's left of the Nomad race, and the Liberty house, with also control and power over the Order themselves being lead by Black Squadron's four Admirals. With their size and fighting abilities they gained access and full control of Omicron 100, which is used as their main base of operations. Currently Black Squadron's new objective is to rid of the new species of 'Nomads' flying through the Omicron sectors, and hold back the assaults of Liberty freeing their people from the corrupted government, along with studying Nomad technology.
According to this ... your only concern really is the Nomads and Liberty. If you want complete details you'll need to read their post here Black Squadron's Faction Status. And please take note as to your rank within Black Squadron (if you are a member). This will determine what ships you're allowed to fly. Are you allowed to fly a cruiser?
Also ... please pay very close attention to Black Squadron's deplomacy. I believe most of us (traders and smugglers included) would fall into the "Everyone Else" category of Neutral.
Quote:Vessels without authorization will have 30 seconds to comply with Black Squadron order to leave Omicron 100, or said pilots ship will either be forcibly removed and/or destroyed.
Sounds like 30 seconds is acceptable. Try telling me ... "you have 30 seconds to depart Omicron 100" ... doesn't mean I have to actually be out in 30 seconds ... but I gotta be on my way out and following your instructions.
From all this ... you cannot expect EVERY player/character on Disco to read EVERY word about Black Squadron in these posts. Black Squadron is not the ONLY faction on Disco. If you come across someone that's moving cargo there and is not familiar to Black Squadron ... try giving them a chance before becoming a PVP terrorist.
