AIF-TU Infosheet / Rules Of Engagement v.0.1beta
We are pretty easy to get along with as long as you keep in your place Wink.
We're a fairly selective memberbase, and anyone can apply to join at http://www.a-i-f.net/recruit.html. An application is not a guaranteed acceptance, however. All members of the faction have equal input on if a player is accepted (provided they are around within reasonable time to give their input).
General ROE:
AIF has always been primarily a trading faction... Making the grind running routes trying to stay on top...
The general rule of thumb has always been 'if their top 10, their fair game'. With the recent changes in space, its not that simple anymore.
1: Faction Relations
Factions are rated in the faction list screen by PWR (faction power). Which is based on not only a kill/death ratio, but also the PWR of who is killed. The player killed will lose points for their faction.
a. Engaging in battle with members of factions not appearing in the faction list screen (having less than 3 members) is prohibited.
b. Engaging in battle with members of factions with less PWR rating is prohibited. This 'significantly less' range will change as PWR ratings change.... just use common sense here.
c. Engaging in battle with members of factions with equal or greater PWR rating are fair game. Again, use common sense. If its not going to be a 1:1 battle guarenteed, make sure backup is available if needed before engaging.
2: Non-Faction Player Relations
*****WIP******
a: Engaging in battle with factionless players ('NEWBS' in the player list) is discouraged. Its difficult to draw a hard line on this. Its believed to reduce power rating of faction by killing a factionless player, but will get more information on this when i speak with Mit.
b: As far as engaging with factionless players, this should be very rare occasion. Unless you feel you cannot duck into a space station to avoid risking cargo, it is advisable not to engage in combat. However, the old 'top 10 rule' may apply. Only engage if player is carrying a hefty load that would hurt them alot to lose, and of course.. excessive bounties =)
3: General Conduct Expectations
a: All members are expected to adhere to the ROE, NO EXCEPTIONS.
b: Provoking or 'fanning' flame wars is a no-no... in the forums or in the game chat. Best to stay out of those =)
c: Cheats/Exploits are prohibited. If you find one, let me, Matthew, or Zaroba know about it so we can get the problem addressed promptly. If your caught abusing these, you will be gone.
d: This includes cheating players intentionally (on planets)
e: Complaints from other users are taken into consideration... just try to be a good player and u you shouldnt have any problems.
That is all for now
