Rules revisions, my thoughts and suggestions

[Weepig]

I think the bit about the 5.6 rule, your point 1, could lead to long old battles between people. With people cruising off and coming back time and time again until they eventually won. In a pirate vs lawful situation i could see that happening. Constant guerilla attacks until the pirates win eventually. Though as you point out, this would lead to more engagement between the two. I just dont know if everyone will prefere it.

Good point on the 6.6 rule though. I see lots of Police tagged ships that arent police characters and i cant be bothered to explain to every single one of them how to get the rep they want.

Your views on the Engagement notice i agree with. I dislike intensley when pirates just say "Halt" in system chat and not even mention who it is they want to halt. Even more when they start shooting me for not knowing it was actually me they were talking to.

Maybe you could draw up a basic list of /setmsgs commands for pirates, as a guide of some sort?
