Death at 700K, PvP Dead? - Thargoid - 12-31-2013 I would like clarification from an admin on this, if I'm chased for 700k+ and I explode due to the limitations of Freelancer, does this count as PvP death? It happened yesterday and I stayed out of the system anyway, when I died, there was no death message and I appeared at the station I was previously docked at, with all of my cargo/ammo in tact. The guy that was chasing me then told me to leave the system, then, miraculously he appeared in another system, so obviously he killed himself too. Personally I don't think this should count as a PvP death, in real life, the chase could have kept on going for days. If anyone is interested, I was in a Pirate Transport, fleeing from a Navy Battlecruiser that wanted to pop me, I was not engaging in piracy, I was trading. RE: Death at 700K, PvP Dead? - Karst - 12-31-2013 Frankly, anyone leading a chase to the system wall should not only be pvp dead, but fined seventy billion million credits for being a massive, time-wasting nuisance. To answer your question yes, you are pvp dead if you die during a player encounter no matter the circumstances. I have to ask though, in your situation, why didn't you simply dock at a base? Edit: Also, why does every single thread have a poll these days? It's a rules question. It doesn't need a poll. RE: Death at 700K, PvP Dead? - Tankman - 12-31-2013 You died while someone was chasing you, PVP death. Also running for 700k? Thanks for wasting people's time... RE: Death at 700K, PvP Dead? - P1vas - 12-31-2013 Cruise-strafe trick, people, learn it already. Transports strafe slower than snubs, so you can catch one before it reaches the wall.

Ummm.......If you think this is a waste of time then i put it to you both....why chase for so long.............. RE: Death at 700K, PvP Dead? - Giggle Snort - 12-31-2013 I'm gonna just say that at 700k the game is letting you know that you've been running for so long that you're out of oxygen/water/food supplies and are dead. Because you were being chased, you got chased till you starved to death.

The rule used to be that a trader was always safe whether he blew up or docked. Now, I'm told that if a trader blows up, they are pvp dead, if they dock, they are exempt from the 2 hr rule.

I though the rules were changed? If a trader dies, they have to adhere to the 2 hour rule, but if they dock they don't, that's the way I understood it.

I was planning to stay in the system for a while, to pirate NPC transports, but I wasn't doing that at the time, I was hauling stuff from A to B, he was wasting my time, the only reason I ran for so long was because I didn't want to be PvP dead and not be able to make money in that system because I was banned from it. I don't really care about wasting the guys time, he was in a Battlecruiser and I was in a Transport, if he was in a snub I would have stopped to fight, even a bomber. I was doing stuff IRL at the time anyway, so didn't really care about wasting my own time. If his idea of fun is popping transports in a BC, then he can wait 40 minutes for his fun, in the end he never even got a chance to finish me off himself.

He was also PvP dead in that case, because he killed himself during the same interaction.
