Quote: 3.1 An attack is any hostile action that drains shields to less than 50%. Saying "Engaging" is not sufficient and aggressors are not allowed to destroy a ship before allowing sufficient time to respond. If a player is attacked he has the right to defend himself regardless of who is attacking. Trading nanobots, shieldbatteries or other ammo and equipment during a fight is also considered taking an active role in the engagement.
Consequences:
This is a role playing server. You are not allowed to just randomly start shooting at any ship you encounter without saying a word. Take some time read over the rules. Maybe even read a few more sanction threads. You'll learn something. Oh yeah, your guns fell off.
