I got a question about the Ship Class Restrictions in Rheinland (especially the last point).
Quote:Rule #4: Ship Class Restrictions in Rheinland
- All Battleship and Cruiser class vessels not belonging to the Rheinland Military are BANNED from Rheinland unless given the permission of an Admiral. Lethal force is authorized to deal with ships refusing to leave through whatever exit the acting commander decides.
- Even with the permission of an Admiral, heavy capital ships are to maintain a distance of no less than 10k from any inhabited planet.
- Gunboats, Bombers, and Fighters have permission to stay within orbit of inhabited planets, but are to move if asked.
--The Rheinland government has completely forbidden the operation of BHG capital ships inside of Rheinland territories bar notified and authorized logistic activities (pass through Rheinland to reach other systems). Any ships disregarding this regulation will be deemed criminals and dealt with accordingly.
The Question is: Are BHG gunboats are allowed to operate/enter rheinland?
At first: I asked the RFP-faction leader a fex weeks ago, in his opinion they are (based on the splitting on the wiki page, gunboats are not counted as capital ships)
Quote:6.8 For purposes of the server rules, the following ship classes are defined:
a) All light fighters, heavy fighters, very heavy fighters, super heavy fighters, and bombers are considered fighters;
b) Trader ships with cargo hold less than 650 units are considered freighters;
c) Trader ships with cargo hold more than 650 units are considered transports;
d) Liners are named as such. Yachts are -not- Liners, they are transports
e) Gunboats, cruisers (including destroyers and battlecruisers), battleships (including dreadnoughts and juggernauts) are considered capital ships.
So I would say, BHG GBs are not allowed.
But the following term confuses me:
Quote:1. Bounties will only be valid when fulfilled by fighter or gunboat class ships (LF, HF, VHF, SHF, Bombers, Gunship, and Gunboats);
1a. Only the Bounty Hunter Gunship of the gunboat class may hunt fighter or bomber class ships. Other gunboats may hunt only gunboat class and above (Transports included).
1b. Any bounty claim attempt presented by a cruiser-class or higher will forfeit collection for violation of terms.
2. Any attempts at fraud will not only result in forfeit of collection, but also a ban from collection on any bounty within Rheinland Sovereignty.
3. Bounty Hunter, Mercenary, or Freelancer ID required for bounty collection.
4. All targets must be destroyed within Rheinland Sovereignty or the adjoining Border Systems, if not specified otherwise.*
5. Valid proof of the target destruction and ID verification is required, take special note of the criteria applying to blockade runners ( additional visual proof of location required.)
