The incident F Wolf mentions about Mirage changing ships (1st post): he changed from a gunboat character to a fighter character to better match the opponent's ship at the time. The player did the transition out of combat and without offending anyone at the time. Later BDR Mothership and NovaPG Thomas East complained that he'd broken the death limit and much OOC system chat occurred until everyone agreed the KNF pilot had not stuffed up and was entitled to 3 fighter pilot lives against a capital ship. Now both BDR MotherShip and Thomas East were guilty of OOC system chat but they were not reported because it was too much effort for so little offence. If I see anyone mouthing off against KNF pilots either in game or here on the forums without correct information or screenshots I will fall on them like 2 metric tons of bricks.
In that encounter the BDR battleship turned up and killed everything in sight. He went afk twice for dinner. I think starting a lawn mower was in there somewhere too.
Now the BDR are talking about buying a second battleship which will make playing the game in Kusari space impossible. And they don't care. My comment about that in-game was met by 'it's all about winning and having fun'. Well, partly true, but no one will be fighting you if all you fly are battleships. New orders to KNF pilots and commanders: unless sufficient players and ships are available to mount an attack on a battlerazor laden battleship, the ship is to be avoided and ignored and no communication or conversation with the player is to be made. There's no point wasting ships against this tricked out behemoth or, worse, two of them.
Everyone in the KNF needs to read the faction rules : 2 foreign energy weapons maximum are allowed. No more . Applies to all classes of military ship. All other alien technology (eg Nomad thrusters etc) are not allowed. Rules for the KNT trading arm of the KNF have yet to be firmed-out: work in progress.
So, if KNF ships have more than 2 non-Kusari weapons, sell them. General discussion has shown Inferno turrets are common enough to be considered non-foreign.
