Then no-one would ever get shot at cos they don't seem to bother getting the right rep.
My current rep on bloodfrenzy is neutral to the Farmers alliance, friendly to all other pirate groups and hated by everyone else.
Yet practically EVERYONE else still comes up as white on my HUD. So far Vtec's cruiser and wolf's 8492nd chars are the ONLY ones I've seen as bloodfrenzy who are red on my HUD.
Don't have a go at people trying to Role-Play on an Role-Playing server. The NPC's don't discriminate between factions and freelancers so why should players have to?
And could you explain exactly to everyone how the ******* hell phantoms or anyone else are supposed to pirate faction traders (or any traders for that matter) when they log off as soon as two or more phantoms / pirates group together?
I know that most people's traders are freelance, not tagged for the / any faction they are in. So how are we suppose to tell which ones are trading for themselves, for fun, or for a faction?
If you want more server rules then try thinking from another point of view. Plus any new rules that are considered need to be enforced too.
Personally if we need new rules they should be:-
Pirates MUST have to right rep and can only pirate players who are red on the HUD.
Traders MUST have the right rep and be tagged as either faction or freelance traders.
Terrorists MUST have the right rep and CANNOT pirate any traders, they MUST try to destroy them.
Lawful faction players HAVE to respond to help messages sent by traders in that faction's home system ONLY.
And the problems with these rules? They are one's I'd like to see so not everyone will agree that they are needed or wanted.
Plus theres no way to enforce any of them without igiss and wolf having to trawl through the entire player database to check faction reps and fix them.
I am not going to ask them to go to all that trouble because they have enough to do now.
If you want to be left alone SAY SO!
We're not mind-readers. I will respect ANY un-tagged player's wish to be left alone.
Just because we're role-playing as terrorists DOES NOT mean we're a bunch of trigger-happy idiots.
