The use of Bots and Bats in PVP

[Reverend Del]

Simply put, if you weren't supposed to use them, they wouldn't be there. As has been stated this is RP, it's not always about fair fights and Marquis of Queensbury rules, sometimes you get your backside handed to you on a platter by a better equipped enemy. That's Freelancer.

If you go into a battle with no regens, and your enemy has loads, it's not a fair fight. This is the philosophy of many (if not most) non-RP servers.
I remember, on RAW, if you where ever seen regenning, you'd be likely to have most of the server hunting you and killing you over and over, regardless of your semi-rp status. It's dishonorable to use them in battle, almost as bad as cheating.

However, this is an RP server. Regens are RP.

Servers like that are total bulls***.
Anywho, Del said what's necessary and he said it better:)

If you had a friendly duel with a guy, it is quite normal thing not to use bots/bats.
Duels (practice, training) is meant to be shortened a bit, not to last for hour or so.
So, if you agree on a duel in Conn, see with your enemy if you will use b/b or not.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.

Can't let you bash folks in your sig Chopper-Del

Well, coming from an extremely PvP based server with a smidge of RP thrown into the mix, this is what I thought too when I came here. I was quickly set straight by a few people and just started to go with the flow. Within 3 or 4 days I was already used to using them myself in fights.

And yes, if you used them on my former server you would be beaten up on for a good couple hours by whoever decided to.

The only reason not to is to shorten fights and make you be able to fight more as was already stated.

What a very small-minded opinion. On a PVP server, where everything centers around fair fights, regens are not honorable. And, im sure there are plenty of people here who have visited these kinds of severs and enjoyed their time there. This is why some new people to this server may think Regens arent acceptable.
Im not saying regens should not be used here.

TRIAD comes from a pure PvP server, and when they started posting here they made much of their PvP skills. I'm not surprised one of them would break off a fight like that, for that reason. However, he's going to either have to get used to fighting opponents that have regens, or learn to use them himself. You know what they say: when in Rome....if I went to one of those PvP servers, I wouldn't be expecting everyone else to play by MY rules. Granted, it takes some getting used to if you're used to something different, but here we use regens except for during training.

Everyone who posted here is completely right.

You do what you need to do to stay alive, and don't let others influence your tactics. NPCs regen shields too.

As long as you stay within the bounds of server rules, you're fine.

Now, a note about NOT using them...

I fought =LSF=Liquid and Fluid (both the same guy) on many occasions, and in a fair fight it goes on for about an hour. So yeah, sometimes when we're just messing around in Connecticut, we say "For the sake of our hands and eyes, no regens!"

Otherwise, it's all cool.

Yeah, don't use bots/bats during practices...it's a waste of time and money.

If you have been playing Vanilla servers it is a difficult transition at first because as was rightly pointed out Vanilla have a no bats n bots rule during PvP.

This server is totally different and it is not against the rules to use them during PvP, unless you agree terms before hand.

As far as I am concerned using bat n bots during PvP is fair game and unless you want to die regularly I suggest you adopt the same ideals because others will use them.

Enjoy
