New server rules

[f2k]

So, don't always assume that PC pirates are out to pirate other PCs. However, by the same token, don't assume we're always going to leave you alone. What's the point of being a pirate if you can't make life interesting for other players?

And who says that I find it interesting to be attacked?

agreed, besides i like the idea of player pirates harasing other players

Again, what if I dont want to be harassed?

Also consider fun factor.  :yahoo:
Attacking NPc trains is not that fun. it wont try to escape, and their defensive capabilities are no match for a player. But a player-driven train is a different story. He/she will fight back more accurately (also with better weapons) and can try to escape/evade, or call reinforcements (when avaible).

And what if I dont think its very fun to be attacked by other players?

If I get attacked by another player, Im not fighting back, Im hitting F1 as fast as I can.

When Im hauling millions worth of cargo, Im not going to risk it by duelling with another player

Yea, and how realistic is it if traders dont ever get attacked and/or killed? Right now anyone can trade for tons of money if they have a descent shield because they dont get attacked by other players, we need to add action. And trading can get boring so if you are trying to dodge pirates who can actually attack you it is more exciting.

You want action? Did you ever stop to consider that perhaps other players do not share this wish?

If there will be 1 or 2 characters on server who don't want a very interesting life, it won't spoil your roleplaying if you just leave them alone.

Well said!


Look, the point is that I dont want to fight with you guys when Im flying in my train. My trader char has one purpose, and one purpose only, to make enough money so that my other chars can buy some nice equipment.

Why do you keep trying to force your way of plying upon me? I simply want to earn money while being left alone but that doesnt mean that I try to force everyone to do the same. But you come to this server and stat complaining about not enough action, and suddenly everyone are forced to fight for their lives.
I dont force you to play my way, so why force me to play your way?

By all means, if you want to have a great big fight then do so just leave my trader alone.
