Question on engiine Kill rule

[Krog]

If I understand correctly this rule is to prevent folks from killing engine AT CRUISE to overtake or shoot at someone they are chasing or to give a speed advantage in combat.

My question is...Can you use engine kill from IMPULSE speed during battle for maneuver and is the above correct?

thanks

You are wrong about the chasing thing. Engine kill, as I understand it, can be used during a chase. For example, a player chasing another player... If both are in cruise, then they can use engine kill to fire upon the other player. Of course, this means that there is absolutely no manuevering at all.

For impulse speed.... You can.

I was under the impression that even during a chase, engine kill was unnacceptable. There was some depate over that sever months back, when a BS fired a CD from engine kill on a fleeing player, caught it, and destroyed it.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

As far as I've been told, engine-killing when cruising to get a speed boost in PvP is against the rules.

Engine killing while thrusting or at impulse is fine.

As for the chasing thing, if they run for ages and don't talk to you at all, why not?

I guess we'll need a desciption of PvP, is chasing PvP or isn't it?

If they want to be left alone they'll have to say so, I'm not psychic, not gonna be psychic either, so unless they say I can't know.

I think it was for larger ships such as a battleship to enter cruiser then kill engine so it got the nice speed boost to keep up with faster ships.*

I thought it was no chasing engine kill. Could an admin clarify?

Guess I was wrong.

EK is allowed. What is not allowed is to go cruise, and hit HK to keep the 350 speed. Unless, you are in pursue of another ship at cruise and need to open fire on it while in transit.

Vic?... Don't you think that having all the same stuff as Dab makes things... confusing around?
