[Korrd]

Yes. But if you F1 to regenerate shields that is the way to detect that

Erhm, what do you mean?
Don't your shields always regenerate when you F1 and log off?
And I also always thought the console would say "departing player" when you logged off?

Not if you go to the char selection screen and select the same char. That is the fastest way to regenerate shields, and it does not involve log off.

Didn't even knew that trick. So that's maybe what you guys are talking about when F1'ing?
I assumed you just talked about when people just logged of the server.

Actually you're right, if you get a screenshot of the red text showing them logging off and logging on right next to each other while they are in your crosshairs, i suppose that would make sound evidence, but you cant proove if sombody docks and logs off or logs off and dosnt return or waits a while then uses another account.

Still, a stronger admin presences in any server is always a good idea, whether they're refered to 'police' or not. They dont have to roleplay. Actually I would rather they didn't, because it would cloud judgement and decrease effiiciency.

On our 4 sourceforts, 1 COD2 and 2 CSS servers, we have an admin present whenever players are in the server. I realise FPS are slightly different to this sort of game, but just being there stops people messing around.

There is nothing new in these rules.
Nothing we had not learned at home, in the school, in the army, in the job and in all servers we had been.
Simple words like respect and education. And player's honour, of course. Warrior's code.
Words, what for? :rtfm: :nono:

Like xit, I didnt know that. Interesting tactic

When you log in again with the same character, do you respawn at a base or in space where you hit F1?

Unfortunately, you cannot count on all people to be honest. Sad, but true

Not to imply that any player currently on this server are dishonest. Except for a few unfortunate cases, those Ive meet have all been trustworthy and courteous

But who should these admins be?
I don't think it would be a good idea if it were someone in a clan, since then there might be the chance they would judge in favour of their clans in a given situation.
Besides that they would have to prove them selves worthy to the current admins.

Besides Igiss have already said we shouldn't talk about this thing again. Ever.
So I should probably shut up now...

And I agree with f2k, you can't trust all people to be honest, or for that matter play honest or for that matter follow any rules. :rolleyes:

You respawn in the last known position of the ship.
but dont even try to use it. It is ussually concidered a "coward act" or "cheating". If someone uses this tactic on my presence to escape a fight, i will pursuit him/her and destroy.
Lets drop this server police thing. Server police will not be implemented.
