Ship PK / PVP Rules.

Written by: Tecton, the Singularity

Addressed to:


We've just clarified the rules regarding PK (or PVP) between ships in space. All of these are listed in HELP SHIP PK, but here's the highlights:

- Any zone that is within a Cosmpiercer's influence is considered a free PK zone. This is the zone with the Cosmpiercer itself and the 8 zones around it. See COSMPIERCER MAP for a visual representation of these areas. You will be shown a message/warning when entering one of these zones.

- Simply being in these areas of space opens you up to being attacked by other player ships for no other reason that your presence in the zone.

- Transitioning out of a zone does not grant any rights to pursue out of the conflict area or enact retribution at a later time. If your target gets away, that's the end of it.

As with PK/PVP in persona form, please follow the golden rule of "don't be a jerk" - accept you've won or lost, and try to keep your engagements fun for both sides. This ensures you'll continue to have other people to fight against now and in the future.
