so something interesting I noticed , player named -snip- pirating new players in penny so I asked him to stop and he proceeds to attack , not really in the mood to try get him sanctioned , though i still feel pirating new players should be a no no
3.7 Characters of level 29 and below or ships using a Recruit ID may not be attacked unless they:
-Attack first by draining the shield down to 50% or firing a cruise disruptor.
-Are at the scene of a battle and refuse to leave when told to leave.
-Take an active part in a roleplay interaction.
-Possess a codename (Class 9) weapon.
-Attack a player base.
So if you guys are under level 30 you can not be bothered. And the guy pirating you is braking the rules.
