What is "Suicide trading" - monmarfori - 01-02-2013
I know this is listed in 2.1, but does it mean that I crash on a planet after getting profit to respawn at the previous base where I buy commodites?

Pretty much, so you take a commodity to your destination, then transfer it to another ship so the transport can crash into the planet etc and respawn at the base that sold the item again. Is metagaming and a big no no. Doing anything like that or similiar to save time trading will get you punished

Well yes, but it's not in the spirit of the game to do it.

When we catch people, they get their ship deleted. Don't do it.

It's sort of like multi-boxing. You may get away with it once, twice, or even 10 times. But eventually you WILL get caught. And if you're so lame that you can't figure out a cargo to backhaul to your origination port, or make a complete loop somewhere, then why bother playing a role-playing game?
Even when you're trading, you need to be role-playing.

....Honestly, how is that ruining the gameplay? it doesn't screw someone else or something, all it does is screw up the Roleplay.... which doesn't matter and is just something added if you're talking about gameplay and getting better stuff
Not that I do it... But RP is being taken waaaaaaaaaay too seriously by some so those rules exist to keep it, sorta ends excluding people who are in stuff for the pvp.

Why do you even play here?
The idea of the server is to provide a good environment to RP in because some people (i.e the target audience) get enjoyment from it. If you play for the big ships and the pew pews, then perhaps you should go elsewhere.

Crackpunch, don't bother.
Seriously. Don't.
You'll get a headache.
