A commander in a Conflict zone

[Vikinger]

I still would hold this question open until we se how the final game will be.

Atm for me I will not attack anyone no matter where iam.

reason I joined this group was foremost to get away from the greifers and enjoy to play with people and not against.

But the game evolve and we might choose different faction so with in the normal game rules we can be enemy's but it does not mean we have to attack each other on sight.

Iam not against pvp, I can allow it in conflict zones, but we all must agree on that then. But best part would be to just not allow any pvp as many have joined this group for various reason but major part is to get away from pvp.

if we start to fiddle around whit the rules, allow here, and not allow there, some might leave the group and go back and play solo instead. And inconsequent rules can lead to conflicts between players.

its quite simple, we can do pvp if we want, just join an open play, we have that option, but keep this group rules simple or we will be divided.

And we always have the option to set up some events. Pvp events, players that want to do a clash and have fun. But then we have all agreed on it and il guess it could be fun as well
Just imagine as an example, 10 players that sign up for an event, 5 in each group, choose side in a conflict zone and fight over teamspeak. Il guess it would be a lots of laugh, special on a Friday or Saturday evening when the bottles are half full or empty

As a new player I was confused by the group policy. Now I've read this thread fully I understand better what the thinking is behind allowing PvP in conflict zones.

However, I'd just like to say openly that I have no intention of firing on another Mobius member. If you're hit by Cmdr Sniff Ya then that's just because I'm useless in combat and flying with an XB360 controller!

Personally I agree with how the rules are currently set. The only place I'd open fire on another cmdr is in a conflict zone.
Fighting in Lugh earlier today I avoided contact with an opposing cmdr but was shortly obliterated by that cmdr. As far as I'm concerned that's the point of the conflict zone.

Well thats how the rules go and I think I agree with them aswell. They state that you can only attack another player in a warzone IF you are opposite sides and as long as you aren't deliberately going into warzones actively looking for players to attack. Personally if I drop into a warzone and im on my own and I see another player fighting on the opposite side from what I want to play I would just leave

Im in Lugh for the next 2 weeks for the cash and ai kills. Im staying in solo as I dont want to spend the 800k to replace my ship. I am in the conflict zone to farm ai not so i can be a target for players with nothing beter to do than hunt other players and this has been happening.
Its one thing to fight one on one its another to mass lock another player who is trying to get out just so you can kill them.

Think that's how I got taken out tbh, saw I was getting pummelled so thought I'd try and make a break for it. Couldn't charge in time and got spaced by a fellow cmdr.

Whether that's fair or not is open for debate, it's a tactic to be used and I've used it against AI but I'd more than likely just let a fellow cmdr limp home.

That said, I still stand by my sentiment. It's a war zone and this is the risk of entering.

I agree. If you enter a conflict zone, choose a side, and see cmdrs on the opposing side, anything goes. It is war after all.

You are free to leave the instance, pick another side, or play conflict zones in solo mode. I know some do.

[CMDR_Takoda]

I tend to agree with those that the original wording of the charter should be held as the rule.

In short: IN A WARZONE, enemy combatants are fair game.

It makes sense:
- as it provides a means of leaving combat. (leaving the warzone reinstates the PVP restriction)
- as it dictates 2 separate levels of consent before PVP is possible (entering the warzone, and then choosing a faction)
- allows for some good natured fun. (so those federalist scum learn their place!)
- allows for overall PvE happiness. (no griefers or Pirates)

I think this is fair considering it is, well, a warzone. Not a place one can mistakenly wander into, nor a place one should expect the complete freedom from being shot at. (entering while neutral retains PVP restrictions and so the rule holds up well)

Now, there is the rule, and then there is good sportsmanship. If I'm engaged with a player, I think its sportsmanlike to hold off blasting that last 15% or so. Allow him the honor of leaving the field. (*grin* "catch and release?") But hey, its an Imperial thing.

Well, glad i saw that thread in the official forums then that led me back here to doublecheck rules of engagement a bit more closely. Up to today it never came up on my mind that Warzone should be any different than the other parts of space, at least in a PVE themed group. Will have to think what i make of it, going for EVE tradition "Red is dead" or something different like mentioned above *ponders*

Just hit the solo button if you don't want to meet cmdrs in a conflict zone. Or create a private group with like minded cmdrs for conflict zone sparring.

You are free to jump in and out of all the different groups at your leisure.
