  1. I already sent a message to support asking about it but what is the actual rule on the pushing ban cause I have been shot down by the same player 6 times already today and havent fired back and I dont want to get banned for pushing . I have heard so many different explinations that I could use someone to actually tell me the rule please
     
  2. I asked for clarification on this issue several months ago and the response was there is no set ruling on it, it is all an interpretation of game play and style. Just remember you, the killed, can also be punished for pushing because you keep returning to be popped by the same person.
    So from what I have been told a player stops getting any rewards for killing you after the 5th time (or so) in one time frame (which was never disclosed completely) and then after so many more times you could report them to Support who could take action against that player (but again if they find you were returning to the same map for the killer you also could be banned).

    You can look at >this Thread< to see the responses to my question.
     
  3. even if I was on my home maps and the enemy was the one who kept returning when I was working on a quest
     
  4. why would you let an enemy pop you 6 times and in an x1 map. isn't x1 map a "you wont get shot if you don't shoot map?" just don't fire at the guy and log off for a few minutes then go back.

  5. Did you read the thread I posted? You allowing a person to pop you several times in a row is considered pushing.
     
  6. You are correct LoyaltyΛboveΛllLaws that the x-1 maps are protected but I must point out that the Home maps
    are considered to be the x-1,2,3 and 4 maps and being popped by a cloak when you are boxing in the x-2 map, or fighting a Sibilon from a noob ship, is not easy to avoid if you are not experienced enough to watch the minimap for odd looking red dots following you around..
     
  7. In the OP's case, you should not have to worry about the killer on your tail causing you to get a pushing ban. These type of players camp out, trying to finish their pvp missions looking for easy prey, and once they find it, don't let go. While it will count for the pvp mission, it does nothing for their rank. For you, since you are working on PVE missions or collecting, there will be no reprisals other than the constant trips to base. Just take some time, and sit for a bit, or even log off and go do something else for 20 min. The stalker will move on as they also worry about their boosters running out with nothing to show for it.

  8. Seeing as people have helped you out already I'll only add that 6 times (as you said) either getting popped or popping someone else isn't really that much so imo you have nothing to worry about (as far as I'm concerned you could get banned after say 12-15 times or more - as others have said, there's not an exact number on that)

    other reprisal is -4 rank points for every time you're killed
     
  10. I wasnt in an x1 map I was n 2-4 and why waste my ammo when I know I cant win better to save my ammo for when I do get good enough
