New PvP Rules Proposal

[Firebird]

Definitely need 1.5
Intentions should always be made clear before any engagement.

Not so sure on 1.6
Think, the pirate cruiser should be allowed for pirating (that's one of the reasons you added the huegenot, right?).

1.7 no prob

1.8 I'll be the devils advocate on this one.

Situation: If the attackers intention is to disrupt the trader for the purpose of reducing a faction's cash flow (ex. faction war), then why should the trader be allowed to F1 out? Or a trader is asked for goods but refuses?

I do agree, if a ship is carrying codename or other really $$$ weapons in hold because they just got them, they should be allowed to keep them by any means necessary including F1. But I would stress that if the weapons were that important then a good idea would be to transfer them to another character that would either mount them or remain in NY, rather than carry them all over the place.

Excluding the unique weapons in hold, I think there should be no F1 out, even when outnumbered (that's why the pirates banded together in the first place). At the same time though, attackers should avoid excessive overkilling of the same player. If after a player dies the first time and says "enough, leave me alone", then thats it, the attacker must leave (especially since the second kill makes no difference and would be considered harassment).

I guess the thing to remember is that this is multiplayer, if you don't want the risk of interference from other players, go play single. And for those that loose a whole load of cargo because some player killed them, big deal, it means you get to play the game more to get it back again.

My 2 cents.
