More Terrorism...

[Firebird]

Terrorism, although the way of life for the NPCs, is deliberately limited to Xenos and Phantoms on Discovery. Incidents in the past where terrorism as gone so far as to ruin freelancer for some people due to either constant attacks, bickering, or harassment, etc. was the reason. Yes if terrorism is done reasonably, it makes for an interesting environment but several people in the past have taken the terrorism way too far to make the game unenjoyable for some players.

By making the terrorist/pirate groups ask for something first before attacking ensures:
A) They know and have read the rules.
B) Gives the opportunity for the target to respond, and if they want to be left alone they can say so (I'm talking at the point that if you were say trying to visit them they'd be ready to slam the door in your face type of leave me alone).

Some people come to the server to play with friends and although they RP most of the time, occassionally they might just like to do their own thing (which should work since the freelancer universe is plenty big enough, problem comes back to harassment where a player wanting to be left alone ends up hunted down by the same jerk over and over in the name of terrorism).

Its a balancing act between having players able to go around killing everyone, and making sure everyone has a good time. And its up to Wolfpack and the admins to work out exactly how they want that balance.


Last little thing, the tractor beam has a much shorter range for the terrorist ID as a type of penalty for being a terrorist too.
