We are aware of the now widespread practice of keeping crew on a ship to cut down FOW usage and repair bills, just unloading them every now and again.
We are looking into the POB mechanics regarding crew, however until any further announcements regarding this consider the crew on ship approach an exploit.
All POB's should have resident crew on the station.
Any station still following this exploit in a weeks time will either go to Core 1 or go. (Discussion ongoing)
While we are still looking at the impressive amount of applications, these two caught our eyes early on, and after their trial period, have evolved to a new color.
Rule Changes ● The Council may demand the commodities needed for the repair within their ZOI and attack ships that refuse to comply.
● Orkney is now CONTESTED TERRITORY: All PVP deaths suffered by non-generic IDs in this area have a reduced cooldown of 30 minutes, instead of the standard two hours. You will be prompted by a warning about this when you enter a CONTESTED system.
Background
After their finished preparations, the Council has finally struck a target with NEMP weaponry. The RNS Montmorency has taken a heavy blow and the Royal Navy has requested immediate support to repair the damages. Gallic corporations are sent out to deliver repair materials to the nearby Fort Albi. Of course such weakness is bound to be exploited by the GRN's opponents. The Council and Bretonians will most likely abuse the weak state of the Montmorency
