New York Rules

[Dab]

My 'why should you care' attitude is because no-one else seems bothered by it.

Pirates and terrorists never get there way, otherwise all transports and trains would be easy to disrupt and have no shields. As it is pirates can't disrupt trains from behind, and most traders make sure that their rep is set so that they never get attacked by NPCs.

The only 'group' getting their own way are traders.

I'm fed up with people complaining about the phantoms.

Lawful players always moan when they are out-numbered by us and only ever, in my experiance, fight us willingly when they out-number us 2 to 1 in capships and thats before you including the horde of gunboats and VHFs.

All phantoms are hated by all lawful NPC factions, we get shot on sight in practically every system by at least one NPC faction.

So why shouldn't we take advantage of the no PvP rule in NY to slaughter the NPCs without getting shot at by players?

I pretty much agree with everything Marauder said here, and Korrd before it. Anywhere else its all shoot on site, noone gets to talk to each other. Pirates/terrorist like attacking BS patrols to tractor generals, captains, and lieutenants. NY has the most patrols. There are usually TWO BS patrols instead of where everywhere else has the usual one.

I completely agree with what he had to say on the subject of people complaining about pirates. Your complaining has made transports and trains nearly unstoppable without a cruiser or bigger. You have everything the way traders want it, so you can get money faster and easier. I personally think people have TOO MUCH money. Trading should be hard without escorts. If a train with no escorts is attacked by a pirate there should be something about a 20/80 percent chance. 20-getting away, 80- getting stopped. Not the 90/10 that it is.

If anything things right now should be made EASIER for pirates, instead of harder for them. Pirating should be hard, but not impossible. Now the only way to take stuff from a train is to kill it before it can get away, because everyone knows they can get away from them without giving up anything.

NPC killing should be allowed for NY whenever. As long as it doesn't 'hurt' the new people it is fine. It might make them think that they can get strong enough to do that in a short time, and get new people to work harder at getting started.
