Rule 5.7

[chovynz]

anyway - dejavu much? - i think we had discussions about this several times already. - if the whole 4 hours is too much - why not simply put the death penalty to 1 hour. or allow re-engagement of ANY kind in a factions home-system ( that would reflect the massive defense army and manpower - but it would make an assault nearly impossible )

It keeps getting discussed because it needs changing in some way.
As far as I know (and im still new here) the rules hasn't kept up with
the community and needs to be looked at again.

And as always Jinx, you have some good points to bring to the table.

Perhaps we need to expand this rule so that it isn't just one or two sentences?
But since this rule in particular is a hot topic, and is often debated, maybe we
need certain black and white things of what you are and aren't allowed to do?
Personally I would love to see the 4 hour rule gone. It's too much. Sometimes
the attacker tractors my escape pod in, sometimes doesn't and many times we
are friendly. But that's just a small pet want.

And the ambiguity and interpretations are some reasons why we need to split it
up into pvp engagements, and pirating engagements and other things also.

Lets get the rules sorted out so that there is no room for rule breakers, but is
flexible enough to cater to all the Roles in Disco.

Perhaps making a list of possible engagement scenarios would help,
so that we can see where it gets invoked?

I just took a squizz at the rules again and they are clear enough,
when taken all together...with common sense and decency to other players
but it's a lot to take in all at once.
