I hope this is a single case.

Well I looked your 'evidence' over.

13k [*USI*]J.Sparrow[CA]
your shields 100%
you clearly engaged in some hostile action against Torben.Spirit
you start off some ooc chat in local and he follows suit and continues in private

and your moaning about him silent engaging.

realy

Your ignoring the fact that the USI guy admitted he didnt talk, just because the Rog also acted inappropriately. Not to mention the USI apparently uing PM to berate the rogue for calling him out on it?

And a FL ID 5k, thats against the rules no? What is USI doing defending cheaters? Really responding to feedback rudely just because its negative is not good.

Thank you for taking an interest.
As you may have noticed we are taking action on the alledged incident.
I am ignoring nothing. He clearly stated he did not care to talk to enemies, but that is quite different to opponent. And as there is absolutely no evidence of an engagement, as i pointed out, i can only try to investigate the absence of coversation in the accuseds logs, which is a frankly pointless exercise.
That there is no clear evidence of the location does not help matters (though i get the impression this is Manhatan orbit) and could be salient to the circumstances and behaviour.
"Torben.Spirit: Stop bumoing me
Armed.Flatfish: No"
Is indication of a typical anti-docking technique being used, which leaves sufficient room for doubt that it may have been trying to dock Trenton Outpost. Which would have warranted an attack by Mr Sparrow, even a silent one, against a Rouge performing such an act there. The artifacts carried by Toben.Spirit would and should have been a secondary concern and then only to report it to Liberty officials. That it is a Freelancer in a 5ker is not his problem or USIs and is totally besides the point in this context.
I did point out that neither party behaved properly in conversation. That is something i can/have acted on, as the evidence is clear, though it was not mentioned in the report.
As for my attitude. As i found none of the presented 'evidence' substantiated the claim, and ignored what i felt was a more serious breach of conduct, i viewed it as a hostile post rather than sincere one. I should have been more polite and i apologise for my poor manners there. But, i do find that there is a steady undercurrent of disrespect for USI and its members. That isn't to say that there, has been/are not, many with failings. They are mostly new to Discovery and its concepts. We at least are willing to give anyone a chance and the assistance to improve, within our means. If you feel we are not up to that task then feel free to come and bless us with your experience.

Since this was bumped, I feel like commenting.

Most of my encounters with USI that involved more than a simple greeting were with pirate ships, and they were almost exclusively.......well, awesome.

I've come to expect a high standard of RP from USI ships, and you haven't disappointed me yet.
Keep up the good work!

(Can't name a specific encounter unless I dig through my chatlog. But eh, you guys are cool anyway)

It was between the California Gate and West Point, around 25k away from any docking point.
And about engagement evidence. What do you think? That I just yell randomly at someone while I pirate someone?
It took me a few seconds to realize that a second ship was shooting me, and when I turned around he already started running.

@ Karst
Thank you for your support. Please let us know if we fail to behave correctly too.

@ SothaSil
Thank you for the suplementary information. It is a very tough situation to evaluate regarding shooting at you. Did Mr Sparrow in fact reduce your shields to 50% or less or do damage to your hull ?

Hey, there is no clause in the rules at all that allows a silent attack, so no, it wouldn't.


RE: Universal Shipping Incorporated - Jack-Sparrow - 05-31-2013

I can admit i did things wrong, i apologize for my behaviour still i cant defend myself against the server rules but i acted on my own and not on the USI in any case, i will see to it wont happen again and talk with my CSO about it, just no hard feelings eh, i know also my negative comment back was unnesecary, so.. Im sorry for this and i will act properly next time we meet in space.

New Presidency brings new rules and new members.

Kindly let me know how they're doing good or bad.

Thanks
Charles Bell,
President.


RE: Universal Shipping Incorporated - US| - 09-05-2013

We feel like we should let everyone know that we are in the process of centralizing all of our information to the Wiki page here:

http://discoverygc.com/wiki/Universal_Shipping_(player_faction)

A lot of updates have been made, along with much additional information that pertains to not only people who are interested in joining and our current members, but to also the public.

Items such as:
- Public Ordinance
- Loan Information

We will continue this process soon by first adding the Employee Benefits section.

Thank you for your interest and support,

Michael Trenton
Chief of Staff


RE: Universal Shipping Incorporated - Michael Trenton - 09-21-2013

Hey everyone!

I have recreated the total history of USI to reflect our twist on the canon-RP of the NPC faction, Universal Shipping. I incorporated important dates and events that effected Universal Shipping as well as what led up to USI's acquisition.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE give me some feedback on this.

Hi feedback - Hidamari - 11-26-2013

the encounter I just had with one of your transports left all the hallmarks of a rather cancerous part of freelancer, leaving a very bad taste in my mouth.

that being the silent auto thrust lol engage transport, offering no interaction at all.


Claes.Leslie[75th]: see?
Claes.Leslie[75th]: halt!
(ignores enters gate anyway)
Claes.Leslie[75th]: okay, thats an extra million for making me use a gate...
(ignores continues thrusting)
Claes.Leslie[75th]: I want 3 million from you
(lower his shield with screamers)
[*USI*]San.Francisco[E]: Pirates
(he starts shooting, still thrusting and trying to enter gates as they come)
(random indie battleship appears and starts auto-engaging which again i dont really care about because its harmless)
Vagabond: S.O.S outcast scumm in sistem
(we drain the ship of bots and half bats, it stops to let the battleship feed it)
[*USI*]San.Francisco[E]: Thanks
(we drain it a second time and the battleship feeds it again)
(then a random escort comes from nowhere)
[*USI*]C.Trenton.[SSO]: Last chance boys!
Claes.Leslie[75th]: pardon?
(all he had to say before shooting, again he had legit reasons to shoot, so not bothered too much about that)
[*USI*]San.Francisco[E]: Bye
(the transport gets into a lane and goes away)

so in 40 minutes of interaction time your transport captain managed 3 words. and your escort also managed 3 words, though he was only there for 5 of that time.


Dont know why traders and trade factions complain that pirates are unreasonable when this is the level of interaction you want to put out, you need to lose your official faction status and go back to the shadows where this level of play belongs.

care to explain this?
