New PvP Rules Proposal

[f2k]

Avoid posting long quotes f2k.

Actually, I said several times that I wanted my trader char to be on the immunity list. But then my computer needed a reformat, and I havent gotten around to playing Freelancer until now. Besides, back then most of the factions promised not to attack a trader who did not want to be attacked myself included

I realise that, no matter what decision is made, some players will be unhappy. But, the way I feel, is that every decision has had a negative impact on traders. Now, we are not only legal targets anytime and anywhere, but this nonsense with Faction X owns territory Y, Z, and W means that we cant go anywhere without being either shoot at or taxed.

Why should my trader char not be allowed to mind his own business and just go where he wants to when he wants to? Yesterday, I was suddenly told that Bering is off-limits to me. I mean, what the *bib*! Why should some faction be allowed to decide where I can and cannot go? Thats just ridiculous!

I realise that some people finds it fun to patrol their territory and tax those who pass through. Well, so be it. I dont like it, but if its their vision of fun, and the tax is not too heavy, then I can live with it. I have to - this server, after all, should cater to all who play

I think that Daedalus rules sounds fine. It would certainly force a bit of RP into certain so-called pirate factions. And it would give me a warning that hostile ships are inbound. When I see a green or white ship, I assume that the ship is non-hostile. But apparently Im wrong.
Its a sad day when you have to assume that every ship you encounter is hostile. Its a sad day when part of Sirius is off-limits to you because some faction thinks that its fun to lord it over other players. Its a sad day when you have to constantly monitor the position of all players because therere some players that you dare not meet in deep space. Its a sad day when all players on the server cannot be allowed to just play the game however they like.
Unfortunately, today is just such a day
