3.2 - If a player docks in a Transport during a PVP encounter, they may remain in the system for the sole purpose of trading only. They may not attack anyone unless in self-defense. This restriction lasts for the PvP death period.
so if you intercept the shipment and player is PVP dead in transport he may still partecipate at event without risking to be touched? How does it make sense from event point of view? If its a race there are sabotages and interceptions, so me as corsair indie I can kill outcasts and anyone admiting in helping malta..... still they may continue to trade event commodities at will after being PVP dead just because of transport..... it doesnt sound right at all
In my opinion this issues has to be addressed asap!
If they dock, they are not counted as PvP Dead. They cannot then log another ship to attack anyone in that System for 1 hour.
If they continue to trade, there is nothing stopping you re-engaging them, in that System or any other.
If on the other hand you destroy their ship, they are PvP dead in that System for 1 hour and are allowed to leave the System unhindered.
You are right mate, it does make sense... so I can just dock repair undock and loop it all over again until the attacker doesnt get bored or friendly forces doesnt come to save you..... Awesome concept I may say... Why not exploit it with all neutral alligned pobs laying around. On the other hand pobs are great because if player accidentaly shoot it to prevent you from docking you can report it for firing on the pob without first declairing siege. What is the timer you can stay idled at any base before getting kicked.... Im asking for a friend! Plus now there is discord so you can ping the whole faction to save people....
Look Im not here to be rude okey and Im not trying that... the point is, it doesnt make any sense reengaging anyone after a dock......Plus in my opinion just for a duration of the event rules should be adjusted as follow> Transports are considere combat targets, docking while in pvp encounter is considered death, and your timer is 1h as for any other pvp encounter.
Point normal server rules in this event does not work, they are easily abused if someone is smart enough.
Why do you think outcasts are not venturing out of alpha to intercept corsairs transports simply because of this kind of rule.
