[UI] Troll Attacks.

There seems to be more and more people choosing to attack their own company in a clanless ship, which is obviously somebody on their "noob" account, or just somebody who doesnt like a certain group of people or a certain clan.

My idea is this:

Make it so that if you are a ship with no clan, you cannot attack your own company, like when you cannot attack a company CBS unless you have war.

You should only be able to attack your own company if you are in a clan, regardless of whether you are at war, have a nap or an alliance, that is then down to those in control of such clans to choose what diplomacy status should be applied.

This will stop the clanless few from trolling their own company just to make them lose honor.

 

100% agree with this, so many people of my own company shoot me and help the enemies shoot me, so i lose honor ect, i cannot send war because of the clanless situation.
Would make the game far less annoying

 

I can agree with the part there is a problem with clanless players , However not all who fly solo are out to be a company cannibals . some have other reasons not to be in a clan . A few reasons are 1 some clans go inactive so that player might be out until they return , 2 maybe there clan they were in had a lot of drama . 3 some people might be returning to the game after a break . I don't think they should lose the right to defend them selves . Maybe instead make it so if you friend them they can't attack an allied ship they are friends with . Or they could become a friend with clans like a ---> " free agent " <--- alliance kinda . Until they join a new clan then when they are a member any wars or alliance of that clan replaces the free agent alliances , If the players has friend it remains up to the two players to keep or lose that friend option .

 

nothing against being clanless, im clanless myself, but this would really help noobs or bout anyone who doesnt like team killing

 

No, have it to where you cannot attack your own company, unless both players are in a clan and are at war with each other.

Ever since Darkorbit started, there was no logical reason as to why you can shoot your own company, unless it is war.

 

IMO attacking own company is obviously unhealthy for the game. It creates too many problems, although it hasn't a good advantages. Many troller are just bored and they have nothing to do.

This idea had been proposed too often, nevertheless they didn't fix it. I think they just can't solve it, because they haven't enough ressources.

 

If you are not in a clan, such as myself, you should not be able to attack or be attacked by same company. The only problem will come with those trying to solo cubes and someone comes and fires off that one rocket. There is a hiccup in every idea and I felt I should point it out. Its still a great idea though. Too much company drama now a days.

 

its a great idea but already been posted

 

So what if they could make it like when you are not in a clan for short or long term for what ever reason , you are placed into a kinda " free agent " company outfit like thing ? No big list of any kind on screen like it shows now when in an outfit . Just the perks of auto outfit protection from all in the company clan & free agent alike . Whom ever gets 1st lock on an npc would keep the lock unless it is an npc shared exp + honor + credit & uri and so on . You could still make regular outfits with all other players like always , If that makes sense . If any player is - neg honor they still need to get + pos honor before they get " free agent " or clan protection , So getting & keeping positive honor would still mater .

 

This has always been part of the game. Just as often, the multi-company goofs will war your clan or have someone in the enemy clan hit you first then both jump in. They are grouped and share the take on ep/honor. The clanless ship ones are random and they do get penalties but they aren't significant unless they keep doing it.

Best way you can put that to rest is to be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to cloakers and nonaligned players. Dumbest thing a noob can do is to let a mass of npcs build up. Perfect hiding place for trouble. Worse is to let your HP/Shields get low. Situational awareness... have an exit plan. Build your ship. Know your ship's limits. And most important...getting killed is part of the game. Shrug it off and learn from your mistakes. Dont expect DO to do much.

 

at least make it so that you don't loose honor when popped by same company or popping player loose honor and ep
