==================== RULE:1.5 Meta/powergaming
[+] EXAMPLES A ship is flying through a system cloaked, (Nomad systems in this case) and a player ship ends up following through the same systems and they both end up in Alpha. The nomad ship cannot see the cloak ship 4k in front of it on radar but is obviously following cause the players sees a name on the chat window player list. The cloaked ship goes towards Malta, the nomad ship heads towards the Beta jumphole. The cloaked ship does not uncloak till it is out of range and docked on Malta for repairs etc. 5-10 minutes later they run into each other in Alpha. QUESTION: Would it be considered metagaming for the nomad to RP that the cloaked ship was somewhere it did not belong and it needed purified (killed) just because the nomad player seen the name on the player list? If the ship could not see the ship 4k in front of it on radar how could it see it was in the system. (Has bugged me for quite a few years because quite a few players claim they seen a ship somewhere on "long range scanners") To me in RP if a ship cannot see a cloaked ship in front of it, how could it see a ship was in a system on supposed long range scanners? ==================== ADMIN/MOD ANSWER:In this case, the Ship has not been 'seen' and therefore the other player should not have any knowledge of it 'inRP' and therefore cannot use that knowledge to do RP - St.Denis
