I think Zoom has already stated the Dev's position on this matter. /closethread

To Tamas, and everyone else who thinks this is against some rule: it's not. It's everyone's own responsibility to find an undisturbed place for beacon operations, and to pick up your loot in time before it gets public. We can't and won't prevent anyone from being in the same location with you and shoot your NPCs that YOU decided to let out in the public at your chosen time and place.

It looks like he didn't consider anyone activating the beacon before or together with the "owner",  loot flagging those npcs for the griefing faction, as written by several complaining parties in this topic here.

Yes I did, you're just not quoting the appropriate reply.

The question is rather simple - why can non-squad member activate those beacons. does that mean i can hog that one mission spot on tellesis that requires you to place down a beacon and kill those mission npcs and it would be legit?

The Devs are just trying to keep focus to be honest, otherwise we'll never get back gammas.

I understand your point of view, you want to keep the freedom to do what ever players want, where and how they want it.

Your inexperience to recognize harassment will cost you a few accounts, but hey, if that will keep the CIR and 77 veterans happy, its all good, right ?

"devs are just trying to keep focus"   ON WHAT?  the best way to nerf the game even more. No aoe damage makes farming npc's or beacons useless on beta.  I mean population numbers the last month should give ya an idea on you knee jerk reactions are doing. Great job keep "focusing" on gamma i cant wait to see the complete cluster**** thats gonna be when your done with it.

You know, if this was Eve with 5000+ star systems and 5000+ wormhole systems, I guess I could kind of agree with the "Make sure no one is around" statement. As it is in this game, with people covering nearly all of the alpha terminals with alts, it's a little hard to move anywhere without being spotted. Add to that detectors on castels and it IS impossible if someone is watching.

You know, it's kind of funny that all of the game's "griefing" come from 2 corps, and they're allied. Fitting.

Finger point from your high horse all you want. But griefing is not a monopolized sport. And if this game ever does grow (which it never will without vastly more islands) griefing will be a normalized play style.

But even without more islands it's not hard to find isolated places on ALPHA to PVE. The need for more islands is a territorial pvp related problem, mostly.

They didn't have to nerf the game until you guys started intentionally trying to abuse mechanics and break it. And now in your unbelievable arrogance your trying to blame them!

Another example of your idiocy. Just because it may happen in the future doesn't mean you need to do it now. Time and again you guys deliberately break the game and whatever the Dev response is makes the game that little bit less fun. Time and again you blame someone else when it's YOU who have caused it hiding behind the idea that if it's possible people will do it in the future so you may.

For a change why don't you detail how it can be abused, recognise it's wrong and DONT DO IT while pushing for a fix.

Yet another harrasing post from an alliance of people breaking the game yet again to harass people on alpha. How long will this be allowed to continue?

I wouldnt mind the people activating the beacon be flagged. Owners or griefers alike have to flag to activate the beacon.
