i have officialy had it wth this server once again i am trading trying to make some money and another battleship begins to fire missles at me when i am about to make a very nice profit at new tokyo.
How the **** are we supposed to make any money when we cant even land and with battleships priced at 30+ million we cant even get them to conteract this threat.
so it is with great sadness that i am leaving this server because i can see that the admin dosent give two ****s about the traders that can defent themselfs :rtfm:

Someone here, from the Terrors group, told that they give people chance to flee. Ok, this time?
I wonder who was the killer and why it happened.

What do you expect me to do? I haven't even got chat logs, let alone I cannot contol how things are going in real time. Ban all those who are flying battleships and threatening traders? I'll have to ban half players then. And when they are gone, another group will arise to do the same thing, including maybe you when trading will become boring for you Shadow_killer.
Or maybe I should close up the server because some players are not pleased with what's going on?
All right you see that I'm not actually against you leaving, because if I do what you want I will lose alot more players.
nope i flew in today after taking a day off beacase i didnt see the point of playing and then i went to land at roppongi and "incoming missile" then i F1'ed out

Well, I did post some suggestions for regulating the fighting on this server
As it is now, capital ships (read: the Battleship Terror) reigns supreme, and youre not doing anything about it.
One suggestion would be to simply ban all attacks on freighters, thereby letting people trade in peace
Or you could start people with 50+ million credits. Then players could get a capital ship from the beginning.
Is this absurd? Yes, it is. But as it is now, capital ships are king, and they are driving other players away from the server.
I agree with Shadow, how are we ever going to be able too afford a capital ship when we're constantly killed?
What can we do? Well, Im made a few suggestions. They might not be the best, but they are a start. What really needs to happen is that we (you and the players on your server) realize that theres a problem and begins dealing with it

I need screenshots with you guys killed, with your ship hull damaged. If the attacker does not warn or demand money or give a chance to flee, he will be banned. But to do that I need a proof.
That's also a warning for you Terror guys. While you are demanding money or goods it's piracy. When you are just attacking it's not. Simple violating of server rules where it's clearly said that PvP should be equal. Do you think that Rheinland battleship vs transport is somewhere near equal or fair?
I'm getting tired of hearing all this whining about the battleship terrors. I for one have yet to log a single PvP kill. There's what, 5 or 6 of us in the battleship terror faction? I don't think i've ever seen more than 2 of us on at the same time, and usually off doing something else anyway. The blockade was announced to spark up a little excitement around here, not a forum flame war. 2 ships can NOT cover the 50 something systems available for trade. Someone in new tokyo that you don't feel like dealing with? DON'T GO TO NEW TOKTO! It's not a hard concept to master. Either face a little bit of risk or trade one system over. You don't have to putz back in forth between the absolute maximum profit route, a blockade on one end of that route makes it something more of an accomplishment to be earned.
And another thing, what's all this b*tching about how we have battleships and you don't? You think we joined and were given $40 million for signing up? No, we worked our asses off to trade/fight our way to the ships we're flying. You better believe that if someone parked something we couldn't handle on our favorite trade route we'd find another favorite trade route. Instead of whining about it you could be out earning money somewhere to get your own battleship.
Aside from when i'm pissed off at people who refuse to do something about thier situation (as may be apparent above), i'm actually a rather agreeable person. As wrath mentioned previously in another thread, we routinely help out new members with financial assistance and whatnot. On more than one occasion i've hauled one of my ships up to the unknowns to help new fighters get nomad weapons. We're not a bunch of bloodthirsty PvPers, we're just looking for something a bit more exciting than hauling the same load over the same route for uncountable hours on end.
I can't help jumping in here, and I really don't like the idea of putting people off the Discovery server, because in my 18 months of playing freelancer this is the best mod and server I've ever seen, but....
Shadow_killer, you don't seem to 'get' the game. Listening to your arguments, it sounds like you really ought to be playing single player.
However, having said that...
One thing not mentioned yet is that the game has a good reputation system. If someone shows as red hostile, that for me is a perfectly good enough reason to attack if you so wish. Without any chat. So long as it's within the pvp rules. That's how npcs behave most of the time, after all.
The problem may be that a lot of these battleships were neutral traders, and are still neutral to most factions. Also, Shadow_killer may be a neutral, and would show neutral to a bad guy battleship. So if Shadow's been attacked by a neutral I would have some degree of sympathy, although he does admit to pressing F1 in combat, so no, no sympathy. That's a no-no. SP for you.
Come on, you Terrors, don't attack pilots showing as neutral without warning.
In my opinion the server needs only 4 basic rules, to keep it really simple. But I must add that these are not the official rules
No attacking non-hostile players
No attacking players under level 26
No attacking while undocking / leaving base
No pressing F1 in combat
That's it. Everything else goes.
Enjoy FL, let everyone get on with it. having lots of rules takes the fun away for me.
