I, myself, consider the player list as some kind of intelligence report. The enemy, before reaching us, will certainly have encountered patrols or civilian transports (mostly NPC). who, consequently, would have informed local authorities (like a man stealing a car). Being in LSF, It gives credibility to my RP too ^^.
Everyone has their own opinions of what best to do in any given situation, hence why no such list has been made in the past.
However the list does fill one vital function: It can make certain people more aware of their attitude and cause them to reign their tongue whenever they would've done something bad, and that makes it useful, in a way.
Nice effort, Sindroms. (I know, it's odd, but i'm actually not sarcastic when i'm saying this.)
20. The "players online" feature is Not a "Deep scanner"
If you mean that we should avoid using it, i think you're wrong. You said something about matching your ship with the opponent (so no battleship to gun down a vhf). Well using the players online list, adds to this. Without it, you'd have to get either a visual or get in scanner range to see what ship he/she is using. Most of the times the ships aren't matched up (since lots of people fly cruiser by default). By the time you realize what he's flying, it's most likely he already opened fire. If you return to a base to change ships, it's considered fleeing. If you don't make it to a base in time, you're dead. You can't type up anything, since that mostly equals death.
So wouldn't it be better to see what the enemy is flying, then change to an appropriate ship?
You can think "hey, the players online list wouldn't be needed if everyone follows these guidelines". True, but i guess only 60 - 70% of the players playing the discovery server, visits the forum on a regular basis. The rest never heard of it, or used it only to find the best weapon, best ship, best traderoute, easiest way to get lots of cash or how to get the bountyhunter id.

I do see what you mean, this is more like a general idea is all...
Thanks for the words.
I understand the playerlist may be used like that, but only in theory. Tbh, now to think of it, yeah, may be a report made by the npcs *shrug*
