Finally, after extensive internal discussion it has been decided to amend rule 4.7, which currently prohibits cruisers and above attacking transports. The rule previously read as follows:
Quote:
4.7.1 Cruisers and Battleships may not attack transports except in the following situations:
Players attacking transports in self defense.
In defense of allied ships that were engaged by a hostile transport.
Hostile unlawful or quasi-lawful transports armed with cruise disruptors.
4.7.2 Additionally, transports meeting any of the above criteria are exempt from specific protections granted by an attacking player’s ID.
Abuse of the immunity granted by rule 4.7.1 may be treated as metagaming.
The prohibition on cruisers and battleships has been removed. Rule 4.7 will now read as follows:
Quote:
4.7 Unlawful and quasi-lawful Transports mounting equipment in a Cruise Disruptor slot are not counted as Transports for the purposes of ID attack lines.
This wording preserves the relevant Transport exemptions carved out by 4.7.2. These changes are intended to reduce the complexity of the rules and prevent arbitrary barriers to organic gameplay.
Hey just to clarify this for me, is it any transports carrying equipment in the CD slot can be attacked by cruisers and battleships. For transport that have no CD are still protected from being attacked by cruisers and battleships?
Also good changes on the other rules, might have to make some convoys more often now.
