' Wrote:Korrd said switching characters is not against the rules. So, leave a BS in your pirating area, and when the trader switches, you also switch.
Hmm... I don't like where this is going...
Korrd didn't say all switching is okay. He just said switching to another character who met the criteria he gave is allowed. That being: Ship was on the same base and in the same faction or aligned friendly to the original ship. This certainly doesn't mean a person who just died in battle can go grab another ship and start shooting the guys who killed him.
Granted, in the case X-Lancer outlined, if the battleship launched from Harris and is in the same faction (Same tag, at least) or in a faction friendly to the trader, then I see no problems, according to Korrd's outline. The trader didn't die on his way to the planet, so it was entirely possible he could find his buddy on the surface and send him out to battle. If anything doesn't match up, send the report and screenshots in.
