Navy station firing on navy players because they do not change name? - Manticore - 07-25-2012
' Wrote:I suggested for a long time that bases will also target by ID (have an option for it, for example set red for "pirate ID" ).
But noooo, no one will listen to poor pancakes!
That would be more ideal, but it's not the way it works yet, and there's probably a good reason for that. I doubt it's possible or feasible right now with the way the code is set up. The external server-side program that makes POBs possible can only draw certain information from the game in real-time, and since IDs are equipment that's mounted on a ship it's not as simple as pulling a player name. That would be my guess, at least.
Anyways, I've been involved with the situation in-game for the past few hours, and I just want to echo what the other [LN] have already said. Indie cap ships are already technically supposed to be registered, for one, and is it really that difficult to (privately, if you want) ask to be put on the list?

' Wrote:I gave the names to you, I did not put them on forums for all to see. That was the point. Now if you put them on forums for all to see then your not a man of your word. I gave them to you, and you only under that agreement. So in short if you give away info you agreed not to give away i now understand why you are no longer an admin. Loose lips sink ships and all that.
I have an issue with registering all on this forum for all to see. As in past players have used that type of info to go revenge hunting after other chars/ships to get back at player, and not the character.
What's the big deal about having people know your chars?
If you're not a frigging mong to everyone, they won't care.

There can be many reasons for one wanting to remain somewhat anonymous. I don't see why the game or other players should dictate that, and make assumptions as to why other people might have different motivations than oneself.
Rage and everything aside, IMO it's worth a discussion - what level of bureaucracy do we want in this game and so on.

You're right. There is absolutely nothing stopping people from putting PoBs near jump holes and locking entire systems down by turning the PoBs hostile to everyone 'cept tagged ships. Or from putting one in front of a planet and doing the same.
Nada. No rules prevent it. Well, I'd bet a base infront of Erie killing noobs could be seen as a 1.2 violation. Thing is, it is role play.
It is the job of the Liberty Navy to keep Liberty safe. If someone drops a PoB down at the gate to Cali and makes it hostile to everyone, the Liberty Navy failed in their role to prevent it. Now they must find a way to remove the threat. It is, you guessed it, role play!
No one is denying anyone access to anything. They are role playing.
If some new Navy pilot tries to access Z21 and finds a hostile base shooting him, he should role play. Find out why this base is shooting him. That would mean contacting High Command. Who will have him added to the base and resolve the issue.
Same as you should have done instead of creating this thread. Role play. Just Do It.

Ryoken... I don't quite know how to express my reaction to that in words. so...
[color=#FF0000]O_o
I guess that'll have to do.
Do you honestly think I'm gonna do that? I mean... I'm not fighting with you here man. You're just fighting a problem that doesn't exist, and making attacks on intentions which are not there. Then you start pre-emptively accusing people of breaking their word?
Wow... I mean... really... Wow.
Just to put your slightly cracked mind at ease... No I'm not going to spill your character names across the forum. The truth of the matter is most people probably already know them. I knew most of them, and I suspect half of the chat you just exited also know them. But dude... Nobody is trying to screw you over. Just, y'know, chill down.
I'm just going to do as I said I'd do. What possible motivation would I have to do otherwise?

While the topic of bases restricting normally free movement may be worth discussing, I want to remind you guys to keep things civil, this thread is already going all over the place. I'll keep an eye on this.

Not a problem. I am against player bases or anything else that prevents freedom in game, or forces RP on others. That is IMO what this base is doing. I have said what i have to say. Those who want to discuss it go ahead. Those who want to attack it just because it is me who posted go ahead. Those who go off topic to attack me? Well i trust the mods to stop that, and delete off topic posts.

I really don't see a problem with the base. It takes a 30 second PM at most to get on the list, then its done forever. The KSP put up one around New Tokyo that shoots tagged unlawfuls. Basically all it's doing is reinforcing NPC defenses that aren't powerful enough to actually hinder people.
