I have mentioned this before. It's not against the rules, and I think that would be a tough rule to impose anyway, but it is a cheap tactic. I've decided when I PvP with someone and they use one of these cheap strategies (using their enemies bs as a shield is another) I wont fight. I'll just say //gf and cruise away.

Alot of people do this, and me thinks it is cheap. I can understand if you have to blast an NPC or two to get them off your back, but to farm them for that reason, thats just being real cheap.

I wonder wether it is outside of the hard-coding to make anything dropped by a destroyed ship available for everyone, instead of just the person whom did the destroying...

... it would stop this tactic from being used, me thinks.:sleep:

it is available for everyone...

the guy didn't even shoot them himself, which REALLY pisses me off. at least his friend was shooting hessians (within rp)

Its a bloody lame tactic, and unfortunately not against the rules. For sad buggers who have no chance of
winning a fight without that sort of gameplay. *Unprintable line*
Killing your own NPCs is about as low and despicable as it gets, and anyone caught doing that seriously
deserves an RP sanction, and I would definately report any lowlife I caught doing that.
I hope a few here would also do the same. Stamp on that before it starts. *More unprintable lines*

' Wrote:Which is exactly whet that SA GB frozen was talking about did. You should really put a rule against farming NPCs.

Yup - this is no different than shield running. Look at the spirit and intent of that rule. It was created so the fight would not go on indefinitely.

' Wrote:Personally I'm seeing it happening a lot nowadays, mostly large vessels killing friendly to them NPCs around to grab bots/bats. Technically they should be expelled from the player factions they are belong to, it's an act of treason after all, intentionally killing of his/her own allies, NPC or not. If they don't seem to care about RP and take any opportunity to win in PvP... I guess then there should be a rule restricting such behavior.

Killing their own (or allied) NPC's is a tactic known to be a PVP whore tactic. These folks don't get it and are more concerned with winning the fight than being a part of the RP community.

May not be against the letter of the law (because its not spelled out) but does go against the spirit and intent of the following rules:

Quote:4.8 Remember that Discovery is a roleplaying server. Factions and faction members (just like all other players) are obliged to act in the way their reputation and status require.

7.1 PvP combat is allowed only on roleplay basis. The pilot who is attacking must scan for an ID prior to the attack. Relying on general reputation status (red/neutral/green) without scanning for the ID is not allowed.

4.8 is definitely not happening if they're farming their own and allied NPC's. And 7.1 specifically states that combat must be on a roleplay basis.

My question is why did the BHG-tagged ship attack you in the first place? Junkers aren't technically pirates, they just happen to favor the pirates more than the lawful groups. They don't have hostile relations with the BHG either.

If he attacked simply because junkers appear red on his screen, he had better rethink his actions in the future.

It's official, I have too few ships now...

Dopamino · 09-09-2007, 10:28 PM,

he was red to me, bit idk. most junker missions are anti-BHG tho...
