Liners docking in a PVP fight

[Exploration]

Im unsure of this as the the rule states Transports and freigters are exempt, but a Liner has roughly the same cargo space as a transport and roughly the same amount of turrets, so if a liner under attack docks while being shot at, does this count as a PVP death providing the ship is carrying cargo?

Or Schnak could say the answer with rougly same ammount of words or less.

Liners count as transports.

According to rule 6.8

6.8 For purposes of the server rules, the following ship classes are defined:

a) All light fighters, heavy fighters, very heavy fighters, super heavy fighters, and bombers are considered fighters;
b) Trader ships with cargo hold less than 650 units are considered freighters;
c) Trader ships with cargo hold more than 650 units are considered transports; Liners and yachts are transports.
e) Gunboats, cruisers (including destroyers and battlecruisers), battleships (including dreadnoughts and juggernauts) are considered capital ships.

Liners are considered as Transports.

he should leave the system though, he can only pass not RP in it

correct me if i'm wrong

you're wrong

There is no PVP Death for docking a transport in combat. Since he did no take a PVP Death, none of the knock-on penalties apply. Actually the way the rule is written, he can repair and resupply, undock and engage you again with the same ship, and do it over and over until YOU leave the system.

I'm afraid you are wrong.

Since it's not a PvP death, he can undock straight away if he wanted to, and that system is fully accessible to him. However, if he is destroyed, he would have to leave that system within 10 minutes, and cannot re-enter it for 4 hours.

EDIT: Ninja-d by Ursus. I'll still draw your attention to the removal of the rule allowing transports to pass through a system after death.

I've had the same problem with this rule I've actually had a transport docking then re-engaging after it. I've just thought "thats it I'm not gonna be trolled I'll just be leaveing" if the transport was in a trading faction they certainly would love to hear about it because trading factions don't like it when they hear that their transports are being used as battleships.

As much as I hate having to agree with Tobi, I agree with everything he said. Get off Newark and get out there ingame doing stuff. Seriously, I should charge you for parking

Gheis said that the admins could make exceptions to the exemption if they felt it necessary. If a transport is being used purely for combat then it's likely that if you sumbit a report then they'll carry through with a sanction.

As a note, we may waive the exemption at our discretion for transports being used purely for combat, however few and far between they are.

Ahhhh thanks for that I'll keep that in mind for the next time.
