Discussion about this thread is here
Summary of what is added so far :
- Multiboxing : Flying multiple ships at the same time ingame
- Transports, how should I behave when I meet one ? (Including LINERS)
[font=Agency FB][Multiboxing] What is exactly considered as Multiboxing ?
Multiboxing, simply put, is the process of having two or more ships logged at the same time on the server, piloted by the same player. Multiboxing is not tolerated, however there are a few exceptions for practical reasons that are allowed.
Exceptions where Multiboxing is allowed
- Transferring equipment (Armor Upgrade, Guns, Shields)
- Transferring ore from your miner to your transport (You are NOT allowed to mine and trade at the same time. This only allow you to transfer your ore from your miner to your trader when the exchange is ready to take place, but once your trader has received the ores, you have to disconnect your miner or your trader, your choice.)
[font=Agency FB][Transports] Transports & Caps
A transport is a TRANSPORT. Therefore, as the server rule 6.7 states, you do NOT attack a Transport (Including a Pirate Transport) with a Cruiser or a Battleship no matter what.
A transport is a ship that is made to haul goods, so all three kind of transports that exist in the game are concerned by this rule : Freighters, Transports and Liners.
For lawful factions, only official house military factions ([LN], [RM], KNF|, BAF|, GRN|) have the right to destroy traders. Exceptions exist for unlawful characters with guard IDs in their house system. see rule 6.7.

Are you sure it's allowed? I'm not. Of course i did it sometimes, but only when there are no other interaction-capable ships around.

Yes,it is allowed.Its not like your piloting the transport to its sell point while mining at the same time.
Its the quickest,and most importantly,safe and secure method available for pilots.

It does not encourage interaction a lot. I think this shouldn't be allowed.
EDIT: Also it can easily be abused. Have 3 ships on different accounts - miner fills a transport, transport goes to the sell point you log the third transport that takes the cargo then sell it. The transport that went all the way ram a planet and voila, you saved tons of time!
So no, it should be banned as abuse. (If it's not already)

Abuse of this, like any form of abuse that could be done in the game is still severely punished by the administration. This is only for practical reasons such as the server being close to empty (or those who play on lowpop hours) when there isn't any trader to buy your ore.

I've taken a look at this again, mostly at this part:
