Two things I'm wondering with two of the updated rules.

[Lythrilux]

So I have two queries with two of the updated rules.

3.4 Fleeing from combat and then docking at a station or planet while you are in 10k range of the ship you were fighting counts as PvP death. Freighters and transports in this case may return to the system for the sole purpose of trading.

I'm a pirate, I've just blown up some foolish trader who thought he could get away with not paying me. He didn't get to dock or anything, I simply delviered the fatal snac once he told me he wouldn't pay up. Therefore he's (system?) dead. So if I see him later again and he's filled with a commodity (not one, two or 10, but like a full load e.g 3000 units) can I sanction him as he's trading whilst technically system dead?

2. To start the process of approval, the faction needs to provide the administrators team with 500 million credits. The amount will only be refunded if the faction gains official status. Once the process starts, faction tag will also be added to the Faction Activity tracker. Long-lasting unofficial factions and groups with constant activity of at least six months can also post a request here for their tags to be added to the tracker.

Is this implying that any unofficial faction/group that wishes to become official, must be around for at least 6 months before they apply for officialdom?

1.rule says trader can trade while dead, so why the hell you think he can be reported?

2. maybe it says that long-lasting unofficials can get their tracker but without starting of becoming official?

Thank you belorusich. You explained it nicely.

It only implies that the trader is allowed to continue to trade if he docks during a PvP encounter, not if he is straight up blown to bits and a blue message is collected.
EDIT: Therefore, it might mean he's ignoring a possible 2 hour system ban.

2. maybe it says that long-lasting unofficials can get their tracker but without starting of becoming official?

Ah k, I was just nervous at the implicative undertones of the rule.

I read 3.4 as:
If you dock during fight while flying non-transport ship you're PvP dead (3.2 applies).
If you dock during fight while flying transport ship you can return to the system but only with a transport ship, for trading purposes.

However, it has nothing to do with getting blown up. That falls under 3.2 which doesn't have an exception for trade ships.

I think yes, he can be reported. If you kill trader (or any other target), rules say

3.2 A player who was killed during a PvP fight in any form, must not enter the system where the fight took place or re-engage the attacker(s) for 2 hours from the time of their destruction, or until this/these ship(s) leave(s) the game.

For trader this still means "must not enter the system where the fight took place (...) for 2 hours from the time of their destruction, or until this/these ship(s) leave(s) the game"

If player dock during fight or chase 10K or nearer to enemy, rule 3.4 applies

3.4 Fleeing from combat and then docking at a station or planet while you are in 10k range of the ship you were fighting counts as PvP death. Freighters and transports in this case may return to the system for the sole purpose of trading.

In this case, trader may continue trading in system where he docked during fight.

Ah, super. This can be closed, deleted, invis'd, flushed into flood... whatever.

Does this mean I can finnaly get SFC| added to the tracker and not have to do status tracking myself without having to fork out 500 million credits to sigh up for official?

If so, where do I sign?

The 10k rule is all fine and dandy, but how do you prove that reliably if all you've got screenshotted in all likelihood is a green message?

It depends if the 25k scanners catch someone docking or not, does not have such scanner to test, but if this is the case the said rule have loophole.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)
