About faction right six, does anyone know if factions are actually still using it? It seems people stopped "stealing" guns after the tech nerf introduced, and it's more a SRP-only thing now.
About the Bounty Hunting rules, yeah those are a huge mess and I wonder how new players are expected to ever be able to memorize them (which is necessary to obeying them ingame). It looks like exception after exception was added to suit what ever situation admins deemed adequate at the time, while totally losing view of the bigger picture. And even when adding all these exceptions, they still seem to fail at covering the most basic things. For example:
Quote:9. The character registered on a board must be at least neutral to their employer, and hostile to the faction they are targeting in a bounty. This does not apply to assassination missions where the target is a single character. Board owners are obliged to ensure that the persons they are hiring have a suitable reputation. This means no hiring or paying people who would be hostile to you based on previous actions or non-hostile with the targets they claim.
What does "This does not apply to assassination missions where the target is a single character." even mean? Does it man my navy char can hire an Outcast to kill a DSE char, as long as it happens in the right ZOI and is posted on the forum? Or my Order char can hire a Nomad to kill a Zoner? It seems there's nothing that forbids that in the old rules. That's why I re-designed them more or less with broader statements about rep.
