New PvP Rules Proposal

[f2k]

Question, why is everyone so ticked about a clan using a system as a staging area.

Well, my problem is that we should all be allowed to play on the server. What right do you have to tell me where I can and cannot fly? Do you own the Sirius system? Do you have some kind of Divine claim to it?

Ok, so Im exaggerating here. Right, back on track

Actually, I dont mind factions claiming territories as their own. But I do mind it when that means that Im suddenly not allowed to fly there anymore. Claiming a small symbolic toll, say 100K, to be allowed free passage through a system is ok being denied entrance to the system is not.

Also, what do I get in return for my hard earned credits? The right to not be blown into an expanding cloud of atomic particles? I mean, the Danish government does not show up at my door screaming PAY OR DIE and then just run off with my money.

It would be a nice gesture on the part of the various factions, if they actually told me what my credits are being used for.

An example: You must pay 100K credits to be in the systems controlled by SF. In return, we - the members of SF - promise to patrol the tradelanes of our territory and to actively engage any know pirate who attacks you while within our system.

Or: We are the notorious pirates knows as NSP! You will immediately surrender your cargo or 100K credits! Failure to do so will cost you dearly!

My apologies to the named factions I use them as an example, nothing more :-)

Of course, this should be followed up by real action. That is, if I pay for safe passage from a given factions systems, then it should be safe. And if I pay a pirate to leave me be, then I should be left alone
