7.9 Lawlessness

Lawlessness is an optional choice in Starmourn; it means that you can attack and be attacked by other lawless people at any time. The lawless lifestyle is not for everyone! It brings with it the possibility of constant danger, but also the potential for renown among the stars (RANKINGS LAWLESS coming soon!).

To join the ranks of the lawless, use the command:

   EMBRACE LAWLESSNESS

Should you embrace lawlessness, you will not be able to return to your prior status for 180 minutes of time in Starmourn. Otherwise, you can:

   RENOUNCE LAWLESSNESS

Those who are lawless now have access to LWHO/LAWLESSWHO, which shows other connected lawless players. Additionally, if you have hacked the BOUNTY LOCATE terminal in Tranquility Deepness, this command shows you the areas where you can find said lawless players.

Lawless players will accrue a Lawlessness score over time while they are in the open world (not in a docked ship, in an instanced area, wilderness, cache, cosmpiercer, or in factional territory) which is displayed in RANKINGS LAWLESS. Being killed by another lawless player will cause you to lose 50% of your score. Renouncing lawlessness puts your score down to 0.

When a lawless player kills another lawless player, they leech 50% of the lost 50% score (i.e. 25% of the score before they died).
