ADMIN NOTICE: F1 in space during combat

[Korrd]

Given the fact the F1ing in space during combat has turned into a sort of server sport, We've set the reconnect timer to 100 seconds. That is, One Minute and Forty seconds.

That way, all those who F1 in space will remain in space for One Minute and Forty seconds instead of 20 seconds. That will allow the pursuers to kill the offender very easily, because the offender's ship will be standing still for an awful lot of time.

Pirates only have to wait 10 seconds between the hail and opening fire. That way they have one and a half minute to kill the trader had it hit F1. charging engines or running away will also give pirates the right to ignore the 10 seconds wait time and open fire immediately.
This will be added to the rules.

Just a quick question, will this effect the ability to drop credit cards then switch to another char and tractor it up?

[Korrd]

It should still work. But it will take you longer to get the trick done, as you will have to wait for 20 seconds until reconnect.

I will test it tonight, once I reach home.

What about if your perants turn the Internet off or u are disconected, will you still be sitting there?

Darkness is a friend, an ally. Darkness allows us to understand others, to see what they value when they believe no one else is looking. It allows us to be honest with ourselves, to express those values that we would disavow in the light. The light blinds us. It is only in the dark that we see clearly, and there is a great dark hidden among these worlds

Yes, you will.
Another reason to win a PvP quickly, without shield running, or using time-buying tactics. There is a risk of loosing the connection and get slaughtered by everybody around you.:)

Call it, a mechanical failure of the ship's systems that caused you to loose helm control.

What if you scram your computer, or Alt-F4 out?
Like a lot of other people, my FL/net crashes constantly, so this will be a problem in dogfights.


Say you're in cruise, and you F1. In the 20 seconds, will you continue to move in cruise speed, or will it cut your engines?

I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.
