Well i agree with Zelot here. Base shooters got off easy. If you attack a base, and weigh down your mouse and go AFK? Well to freaking bad. Anything that gets killed by those AFK ships without proper demands has the right to file reports as you broke the rules. Even if they flew infront of you? you can say move or dai atleast, and you would be ok, but nothing was said, over and over and over. So all attackers broke many rules, and should have got nailed alot harder then they did for it.
As another person above stated "if i was admin" I would have fined each 100mil per kill. When cash ran out? start taking away gear. When gear ran out, start reducing ship in size until just a starflee.
I have said it in the past. The admins today, are 10times less harsh then they wer 3-5 years ago. As a result i am seeing a whole lot more repeat offenders, because they know they can get what ever they lose back in a few days of mining.
