Solution for F1 abuse. - kingvaillant - 11-25-2010
we used to do this.
However, when a player would F1 in space (to park his ship, not to flee anyone), he gets stuck in the realm of the in-between of the server and the game main menu. Unable to leave he has to close the game through alt ctrl del.
Currently, you stay in space for less than 60 seconds. Longer than this will do as I've described.

' Wrote:Akuras idea so far looked best for me, but why not simply increase the "hanging in space" time to 2 or 3 minutes without any command?
This. With more time the people would be able to have their blue msgs and will post less reports for F1.

i see someone on scanner range.
hello tasty trader, im hungry. got any food?
---- no answer
F1 cloak
by the time i've gotten there, i cant make the ship go boom, not that i care, i just want to punish the non-RPer by making him buy some more bats and bots. cos at heart i am an evil son of a twitch
so how about making it STUPENDOUSLY long? an hour?
five minutes is long enough to get a blue message, but an hour would mean that they wouldnt be able to play that char for an hour...

While I wouldn't mind and actually appreciate people being unable to F1 in mining fields or right at tradelanes, I can see that Phantoms, Wilde, Nomads and maybe SCRA do have to rely on this since they have very limited docking abilities.

' Wrote:five minutes is long enough to get a blue message, but an hour would mean that they wouldnt be able to play that char for an hour...no good idea.
one hour delay will mean if anyone F1 far away and will not blown up... he blocks a playerslot on the server for one hour.

all they need to do is fly wayyyyyy off grid, and then they can park their ship where they like

There is nothink to do about this, just live with this and report the F1ers if you feel like it

No need for fixing anything that isn't broken. Sanctions&reports seem to work pretty well for now.
