Yeah, Liberty is boring. Only newbs hanging around <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> If youre a real man, youre not in Liberty. BTW This last week is just full of good news ! FL Gold, ELITE server. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
ELITE - A closed server?

Liberty = for weak ppl The standard liberty navy fighter is so weak compared tothe standard rheinland navy fighter, if there was an all out war rheinland would crush liberty ----------------------- <img src=´http://www.worldofgamers.com/images/mad.jpg ´> United SL Modelers¸ Administrator for <A href=´http://www.worldofgamers.com/´ Target=_Blank>World Of Gamers</a> Webmaster for <A href=´http://rfw.worldofgamers.com´ Target=_Blank>Red Faction World</a>

Nah, not only does Liberty have more fighters they have more battleships. Rheinland only has <i>one </i> while Liberty has them all over the place. <img src=´http://tachyon15.homestead.com/files/tlrsig.gif ´>

while ppl talk about having no-pk systems.. i figure we could expand that to say no random pking... but allowing say, one on one contests in the starting system (that´s one system.. not the whole liberty sector)... if you get pissed at someone and want to have an honourable combat, you meet in that system. and when in that system, you target only your opponent and make sure you are well away from the busy parts of the system. that way newbs can see ace pilots in action without dying 3 seconds later.. and no random ppl get spawn killed (unless they are stupid enough to try to jump in.) it´s a basic idea that could be expanded on... let me know what ya think <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> ...Just a random thought from a random mind

Nah, I think anything that is there as part of the game should be left there. Just my opinion, but except for parking a Titan above Manhattan and killing every Starflier that leaves (bannable offense IMO) it should be left natural. Up to Stinger and them of course.
-
FYI, discovering who might be "new person hunting" about Manhatten in a Titan is very easy to discover from a server admin standpoint. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Step 1, reasonable chat attempted with offender. Step 2, reasonable chance given to offender to change their ways. Step 3, warning given if compliance to the better good of the community is not seen immediately in their actions. Step 4, kick from server. Step 5, offender continues with the "hunting"...banned for life. Sounds simple enough to me. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> The alternative is to gang up on them (this concept has been tried in other MP gaming formats and just doesn´t seem to work very well). Another alternative is to turn off the PK capabilites, but that seems a bit rude to other pilots that might be wanting that to stay on and don´t camp out above Manhattan.

I´m somewhat for PKing on the other hand, just have a few areas where it is allowed, but only when both parties agree. HOWEVER. if someone opens fire on me without asking or listining to my requests to stop i will destroy that person every time i see him/her ----------------------- <img src=´http://www.worldofgamers.com/images/mad.jpg ´> United SL Modelers¸ Administrator for <A href=´http://www.worldofgamers.com/´ Target=_Blank>World Of Gamers</a> Webmaster for <A href=´http://rfw.worldofgamers.com´ Target=_Blank>Red Faction World</a>

lol. I think we should leave PKilling on and have a ´neutral Zone´ in the middle of nowhere.
-
I am in favor of a Neutral Zone. I think it would be best if it would be in the Liberty Sector (not the entire sector), large enough to gain some experience and buy some equipment before going into "deep space" . Then again, I don´t know if this is possible with the server-software. Edited by - Peet-Air on 10-02-2003 16:20:05

I´ve read all the arguments, and still in the oppinion to keep at least keep New York a PK-safe Zone Best Regards Christian "Bargib" Koerner Editor in Chief, <A href=´http://www.lancersreactor.org´ Target=_Blank>The Lancers Reactor</a>

Sounds like a great idea, Bargib. Because when we first start, all of us except for the beta testers, are going to be newbs and need sometime to learn. "We´re almost there." - Jorg <img src=´http://home.mchsi.com/~daniel.goodwin/majorsig.jpg ´>
-
That is a wise decision indeed bargib. I think its a great idea to keep new york no pking zone. Large enough and rich enough tomake experience and cash to get ready to explore. But small enough not to violate the pkers of the universe
-
Keep some things in mind though. This sort of customization is impossible via the server. PK is either on, or off all over. The resulting self policing in the area must be done manually! Got any policemen /informant wannabees?. We´re recruiting good men and women to serve a commission on the Elite server "keep Liberty safe" campaign. Rewards include an ample supply of the best of the best weapons / trade secrets of the universe / a map of all jump holes / a list of all commodities prices all over the galaxy / unlimited supply of credits and the direct ear of the server admins!! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> (I´m just kidding but this sounded aweful cool to me) Also, this sort of thing would only be enforced on servers controlled by admins who support this sort of venture. Othere servers may not be so kind or willing to support this initiative. But it looks like the Elite server will be one of the largest out there so we can adopt any sort of build in "culture" or unwritten rule we want within the big boy.

Hey i´m game... but i want that unlimited supply of credits though :p ----------------------- <img src=´http://www.worldofgamers.com/images/mad.jpg ´> United SL Modelers¸ Administrator for <A href=´http://www.worldofgamers.com/´ Target=_Blank>World Of Gamers</a> Webmaster for <A href=´http://rfw.worldofgamers.com´ Target=_Blank>Red Faction World</a>

Im sure there are enough regulars who will enforce the server if and when requiired. If I can get to a high enough level I know I will lend a hand if called on. Edited by - TheGauntlet on 11-02-2003 00:30:25

Hey I will do it! Sounds like a good deal. Getting money for killing players who arnt following the rules... <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
-
PK police yeah sure where do i sign up <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

The secret space pirates wil follow your laws about no pking in new york system, but its free hunting grounds outside. MUAHAHAHHAHAHHA
-
I think the peace zone should be establish not with server rules, instead of lancer reactor regulars that simply protect some systems. I am somehow sure that there will be some clans that will try to keep peace in "their systems" thats enough protection for the noobs. From my standpoint of view, I will kill any pirate that attacks ppl that paid their insurence *evilgrin* And you better pay your insurence, cause I am one of those pirates <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
-
Hmmm, insurance, not a bad idea. What about a percentage? That way the noobs don´t have to pay extremely high amounts <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=´http://users.rcn.com/hughes42/kaharflsig.jpg ´> <b><@ElectricBrain> </b> TACH IS DEAD! <b><@Tachyon> </b> am not <b><@Tachyon> </b> stfu <b><@ElectricBrain> </b> no u stfu <b><@Tachyon> </b> no you <b><@ElectricBrain> </b> no u <b><@Tachyon> </b> no you <b><@ElectricBrain> </b> no u <b><@Tachyon> </b> NO YOU I WIN -- Our very fine IRC ops --
