Big bug found

Just noticed there is a really big bug in the game!
So basically there is a ship in one of our maps that is clanless but who has been online for 24 hours non stop every day for months botting cubes, now its really annoying everyone so i popped the ship which is in the same company as me but as stated above he is clanless so nobody can send war.
After popping this "player" i received a message saying that i had lost honour!!!!
This must surely be a bug right? I mean how can a legitimate player (me) lose honour and be punished for popping a botter from my own company?
Ive never come across an online game before where you are literally punished for popping someone who is cheating! This has to be an ingame error right?
I mean no company on earth would punish their players for popping someone who is cheating so im assuming this has to be some kind of bug in the game as it just doesnt make any sense at all.

Can someone please explain this.

 

You lose honour each time you kill anyone from your company, however, there are two ways around it.

One;
You have a clan that has a war with clan "x" in your server who happen to have members in the same company as you are; if that's the case, for each kill you will not receive negative honour.
Two;
If you're defending yourself from an attacker that is from the same company as you and do happen to kill him, you will not receive negative honour.

There are multiple online games that have this type of system. Essentially it works this way, if you're on the same team aka company/planet, you fire first at the player you are considered as a traitor, therefore you're losing reputation.

 

Not true today I was 2v1 i am mmo the other 2 were mmo and eic mmo guy shoots first but because i am 2v1 i am attacking both same time and because i change target i get
You destroyed the space pilot: [REMOVED] (MMO)
01.10.2022 - 07:52 You received -400 honor.
The game only help bot's and cheaters and punishes legit players has been this way for years

 

Completely different story regarding 2v1, same as emp. It will eventually time out to the point where you are considered as enemy.
Still true, still not a bug. Its a feature.

 

It is the same and true what i am saying is if you are in a 1v1 vs same company and they shoot first there is no - honor but + honor.
Was kinda saying it shouldn't give - honor to someone of same company if they shoot first doesn't matter how many are in their group it just gives trains and bot's even more power to render legit account's hopeless. Cheers

 

It is indeed a feature, albiet a very out of date, broken feature.
VRU gets attacked by 2 EIC and 1 VRU. VRU doesn't shoot initially but waits and uses drawfire, then lets you kill him.
You die to eic and lose honor for killing vru that used Drawfire.
All too common outcome these days.

NB; even if you manage to kill the 2 eic, you still lose honor for killing same company that used drawfire.

 

I lost millions in the past because I was targeted by people abusing the emp bug. If you shoot someone and EMP, they shoot and count as the aggressor. This resulted in me losing millions upon millions of honor because people just kept coming after me.

 

Shooting a member of the same company will result in negative honor if you are not at war with them.
