Great work with the rules re-writting. Kudos to you!

I hope you include good explained paragraph on Powergaming/Metagaming as well. Seems many people does not understand those terms.

Quote:Disabling vSync to gain a framerate of 160 or higher.
So essentially if my computer is good and my frames go over 160 then I am considered a cheater? That logic.
V-Sync is always on, which limits the framerate to your monitor's refresh rate, unless you force disable it. Framerate over 160 results in your ship jumping around all the time for everyone else. So, yes, logic, and yes, you would be a cheater. It's also quite easy to prove.
Quote:3.3Aggressors are not allowed to destroy a trade vessel prior to issuing a demand, in system or local chat, and allowing sufficient time to respond. "Halt" on its own is not a demand, however, a trade vessel can be destroyedif they refuse to stop after being asked to intheform of a proper demand.
4.2Offical factions are obliged to balance Connecticut time with RP system time. Your primary duty is to play the RP role you elected to play,not to spend all your time in Connecticut.
Other than these, I'd like to ask you whether do you intend to review the Faction Creation Rules. I believe that would need a renewal as well. And I haven't really seen Official Faction Rule 4. being enforced at all at any point during my so far over 2 years stay on Disco.

Wasn`t Poole or Salisbury changed into a regular system? (Not sure, I am not that much around in Bretonian part of the server).

Same like Bretonia, what about Ellesmere? I heard the rumor it was not a guard system anymore. If that rumor is true, it should perhaps be included into Liberty house space as well.
Poole is now a non-Guard system; Ellesmere is still effectively a Guard system.

Hellfire Legion ID is now open to public.
You can get this ID by using the LiHellfire restart. Please study the lore of this faction and also the allowances and restrictions of their ID if you're interested in making a character to roleplay a Legionnaire. Furthermore, since the ID has changed a bit before becoming open, we'd also advise members of the [HF] to re-read their IDs and adjust their ingame roleplay accordingly.
I must ask, the ID that allows battleships and such, is this saved for an official faction, SRP, or gone completely. If the last option, how can we get the HF Cruiser and Battleship if we was to set up a HF faction?
Just a few questions, thanks in advance.
The ID that was previously possessed by the [HF] official faction does not exist any longer.
Cruisers and Battleships are intentionally not available. (NB: There is no HF-specific Cruiser, and the Arbiter is not intended to be purchasable anyway.)

How does the game determine what the appropriate refresh rate is, anyway? I know it doesn't force it to 60Hz, as my 3D LCD runs at 120Hz when I'm not playing in 3D mode. If it simply picks the highest supported rate for the chosen resolution, people who have a super fast display, such as some high-end 3D Plasma displays (which boast refresh rates of 600Hz or more) just might be out of luck.
Then again, I doubt there are many who would play on such a setup, but it is something to consider.

For the recruit ID thing, very few people actually set up their ships or do missions to set up while they are below level 29. So maybe you should protect people if they are below level 29 OR if they have a recruit ID regardless of level.
Thank you for your suggestions. Both have been implemented.

Wounding does this imply to Repair ships and "battle" freighters e.g grizzle, Camara and Pelican that are use as cheap gunboats.
Good point. Reworded to "trade vessels" to remove that confusion. This means if transports or freighters take an offensive role in an engagement (Repair ships, piracy, battlefreighters, etc) they're not exempt from this rule, and it only applies to them if the described scenario happens while they're trading.

Right now the only option for an indie HF cap is through SRPs. Alternatively, you can make a HF group, go for official status, and if your request is approved you can request your own ID with cap access.

Faction IDs rephack their own IFF to +1. Only generic IDs allow flying with no IFF.

Faction creation rules are also being worked on along with faction rules.
As for faction rule 4, off the top of my head... It happened to [LN] and MM~ a couple of times back in 85, also to SCRA| if my memory's not failing me. But yea... That rule's not used that often.

It matches the refresh rate of your own screen. Disabling vSync on it's own is not considered cheating, however, if you want to do that you'll have to use an external program like Dxtory to limit your maximum framerate and make sure it doesn't go above 160. Setting the max fps to 120 is always the safest bet.

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.
