' Wrote:This is why the caps cannot shoot trans rules is OORP. Because if a navy in a cap does see a transport in trouble from a pirate trans. All he can do is watch them die. And yes navy can fly away and get a smaller ship, but do you think the pirate will wait? or kill the trader outright?
more reasons to not fly a cruiser or more. use GB or bombers. Cap ships must be used in Wars, not to hunt pirates:)
Ryoken you really have 6 year experience? All Server Rules arent here to impose RP. Only some. Some are "here" to create a fair play and regulated way. Think of what happens when an " Syclla " Storms into Manhattan and pirates. The rule of caps shooting transports is only present to create fairness.
The exception was made since official factions have a very restricted way of allowing "Cruisers and Battleships" and they will shoot transports only when the "real" need arises. Since Indies having caps have no restrictions you can imagine cap whores or lolwuts can do when they can shoot Transports...
It seems even after 6 years of play you flood NY system channel with Spams and try to "enforce" your way of RP when others didn't want. Shooting a lone fighter with a BS is also not wise for blocking New ark firing turrets ? Get some sense in fairness as the server is not always about RP. This is a game and it must be fair. Concentrating on RP would let deleting your battleship after a death. So when you " delete" your ships for the sake of "RP" you can suggest the removal of the rule.
edit: Sorry for being so rough here, but i dont really see why you wont shoot transports for blocking some stations turrets or ramming some station or even blocking paths. thats how you have been rping so far with fighters.....
To start off, I'll quote myself from another thread.
Quote:*snip* The fact is that if you ARE TAKING HULL DAMAGE, even though they aren't firing on you, you can attack them, despite the fact they are transports.
So what if your shield hasn't taken any damage, if you are taking hull damage from a rammer, you can shoot back.
You aren't firing on them because you can, but to protect yourself.
The players in transports should be careful if they try to do that to my Battle Cruiser, because I will warn them first, then if they don't back off, I *WILL* open fire on them.
I suggest anybody who flies a cap ship do the same.
I don't believe the Admins would sanction the pilot of a Cap ship for defending themselves against rammers.
As for the OP, I've been doing that for ages.
If I happen to see a pirate and they aren't doing anything in particular, I'll ignore them and carry on with whatever I happen to be doing.
If that same pirate is obviously up to no good, I'll see if I can get them to leave the area, mostly by hinting that it might be bad for their health to stick around.
If they don't leave after that, a few shots in their direction *sometimes* makes them go away or at least retreat out of radar range.

Killing transports, even Liners, is incredibly easy in a Lib GB.
Again. READ THE FRACKING TOPIC. It is not about shooting transports. Wholly frack! does everyone read 1 fracking page, then just respond to it? Or can you not read at all?
This is about navy leaving the policing of pirates to the Police. Not killing fracking transpots. There is another topic about that. 2 actually.
Second this was not about changing any rules. It was about getting some navy to actually stop shooting pirates, and go back to actually fighting the Liberty/rheinland war.
I swear it is like trying to talk to 4 year olds. No matter what you say, they answer something else.
EDIT: On second thought. Mods lock thread please. Everyone is just answering to some mysterious topic in thier own heads anyway.

Dear Ryoken, if you go back a couple pages to my original post(s) you'll see that I gave a legitimate answer to the subject of the Navy doing police stuff.
But to put it in terms you understand:
READ THE FRACKING PREVIOUS PAGES WHOLLY FRACK. Or do you not read all your responses at all?!
I've noticed, in my short time back here that CERTAIN people will whine about practically everything and anything.
This one, I've noticed, whine a whole lot about stuff he wants.
Namely stuff noone else really needs to be told about.
Here, he says he'll ignore pirates and wants all of the others to do like he's doing.
I don't care if he doesn't wanna take care of pirates mooning him, I care that he wants everyone else to be capwhoring lolwuts that sit around all day and do nothing in lolberty. Namely New York.
If he really took himself up on this word and wants to keep things in check, he would sid near the magellan or keplar jump gates and shoot at anything that moves that isn't a trader or something. And police would only look into stuff that had -already happened-. and patrol. and LSF would take care of the embargos, etc.
But let's face it, that'll just kill any semblance of casual rp we have going on the server.
He's welcome to lolwhine about wanting people to cater to him.
Just be smart and don't.
No offence or anything Ryoken, but you do have self-serving posts most of the time.
Oh and I read the original post, so don't come telling -me- to read it, unless you changed it since last I was here.
