New server rules

[Igiss]

Draft of new Discovery server rules

PvP Rules

1. PvP in New York is prohibited.

2. If a player is attacked*, he has a right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking. There are no restrictions for self-defense.

3. Attacking characters of level 24 and below is prohibited. Characters under level 25 can be attacked only (1) if grouped with another character of level 25 or higher, and (2) if spotted on site of a clan battle.

4. If player does not want to participate in PvP, he or she should post character name in a special thread on Discovery forum to be included into special Immunity List that will be regularly displayed in server console. Players with valid immunity cannot be attacked regardless of their level, with the exception of self-defense.

5. Characters escorted by another character of level 25 or higher can be attacked regardless of their level and Immunity List status.

*For purposes of these Rules occasional shooting or shooting "for fun" does not count as an attack if it does not result in draining shields to 50% or lower or hull damage. Self-defense does not count as attack.

Immunity List Rules

1. Immunity is valid from the moment when server administrator approves it.

2. If a character is a member of any faction*, this character and all other characters from the same account cannot be included in the Immunity List. If these characters are already in the List, they are removed from it.

3. If a character is supporting any faction (without joining it), this character and all other characters from the same account cannot be included in the Immunity List. If these characters are already in the List, they are removed from it.

4. If the character in the Immunity List gets a level 10 fighter (Eagle, Sabre, Titan, Wrath, Templar, Dragon, Chimaera, Avenger, Nomad Fighter) or level 9 light fighter (Liberator, Hussar, Wyrm, Phantom) or a military capital ship (gunboat, destroyer, cruiser or battleship), immunity is no longer valid for the time the character owns this type of ship.

5. In case the character in the Immunity List attacks other players, this character is removed from the List forever.

*Alliance and Coalition do not count as factions for purposes of these Rules. They are sides of global Sirius conflict.

Faction Rules

1. No characters are allowed to join more than 1 faction*.

2. Complete list of members for each faction will be posted on Discovery forums for reference.

3. Complete list of claimed systems for each faction will be posted on Discovery forums for reference.

4. Faction members have a right to tax other characters that appear in systems they claimed; character who refuses to pay may be attacked. Characters of level 24 or lower, as well as characters from the Immunity List, are not subject for taxation.

*Alliance and Coalition do not count as factions for purposes of these Rules. They are sides of global Sirius conflict.

Note: these rules will be implemented during this day. They are not yet valid.
