5.2 and 5.3 contradiction. - Knjaz - 07-02-2011
Quote:5.2 All attacks must be the result of some form of role play. "Engaging" is not sufficient. An attack is any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%. Being hit with a CD is not considered an attack. If a player is attacked he has a right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking.
Quote:5.3 Characters that are level 29 and below may only be attacked if at least one of the following conditions is met:
a) They do not have a civilian ID. Recruit IDs should be respected if the person is using it appropriately.
b) They attack you first by draining your shields to 50% or disrupt your cruise engines.
c) They are at the scene of a battle between yourself and someone else and refuse to leave when told to leave. (Civilians should leave the area when combat takes place or accept the risk of being attacked if remaining. Onlookers are fair targets.)
d) Civilians who possess a CODENAME weapon may be attacked within roleplay at any level according to the piracy requirements.
So, under what circumstanes shooting CDs = attacking, rule-wise?
As far as I understand, constant CD attacks can be a valid reason to shoot back? (well, as far as I understand the idea behind 5.3,b). Or only from civillian vessels?
And if it's a valid reason to shoot back, ie considered an attack, are cruisers allowed to repeatedly CD transports (until the bomber/gunboat wing arrive), and not fall under 6.7?
EDIT: Can't find it with search engine (although I definetly saw that thread on forums few months ago),
Question is:
Quote:6.8 For purposes of the server rules, the following ship classes are defined:
skipped
e) Gunboats, cruisers (including destroyers and battlecruisers), battleships (including dreadnoughts and juggernauts) are considered capital ships.
Why and what does it affect?

Thanks for explanation.
(In short to new players who may read that - CD spam is not considered an attack, Civillian ID'ed players using CDs on players is an exception to that rule)
