ADMIN NOTICE: 3 deaths rule - Korrd - 07-25-2007
After discussing it on the Admin forums, we decided to phase out the 3 death rule.
Only one death is allowed now, against any kind of ship. Unless the sides specify another limit of deaths.
The rules will be updated shortly.

Are you sure this won't bring back (more) capship spamming? Its pretty bad already, but at the moment I think the rule is working well. Might I ask the reasons for this decision?
ADMIN NOTICE: 3 deaths rule - Korrd - 07-25-2007
The problem is that the rule is already bringing a lot of confusion already.
Also, when you fight a 2 hour match and manage to kill the enemy, just to find that they re-spawn and head back towards you, its not fun.
Also, i said earlier that the rule was already in place (during last SCRA engagement). Imagine my wrath when I close the game and find this nicety:

Yep. I posted this before, hit post new thread, and opened FL, just to find it didn't post...

Good, this will clear up confusion about if the side had a cap and then that side doesn't get 3 lives. And all that confusion.
Yeah that last battle was really long, my mom got mad at me because I wasn't eating dinner. Explaining why I had to f1 out.

Erm... I gave an alternative against capship spamming. Guess no one read that. Well, here it is:

3 lives, in Nanobots and Shield Batteries:)
It's easy and it doesn't involve the return of the enemies. If the enemy is dead, stays dead.

Hylden...
The bomber already has enough b/bs to regen its shield and weps loads more than 3. Probably:
Bots - RH Bomber - 9 times
Bats - RH Bomber - 7
Sorry mate, but your solution would only add to the current imbalance. Bombers would be weaker, and so would BSs. Bombers however, would be affected much more than BSs, as their b/bs level is low, and the capship spamming situation would become worse.

I have always looked up to the one death rule, Thanks Admins :)

Thanks admin team.
I found it to be a somewhat confusing rule.
ADMIN NOTICE: 3 deaths rule - Hylden - 07-25-2007
9 lives?!? That's way too much. if you are a skilled bomber pilot, prove it:)
don't use 9 lives! that's way too much. never had a bomber, thought it had 30 or so b/b... way too many, if it can regen more than 3 times.
