Topic: Shooting plants does not flag you.

If you shoot a plant you should flag.  Shooting a destruction should flag you, and active hacking should flag you, and sitting in a passive sap should flag you.

Re: Shooting plants does not flag you.

i see that it could be an issue - though if shooting dirt pvp flagging you is the only solution they can come up, they should give up on alpha alltogether.

plant = dirt.

its the same as loot-flagging npcs that someone else is farming?

for such issues they need GMs...

Re: Shooting plants does not flag you.

So I come in to shoot all your nora plants.  I drop a beacon, shoot ALL of your plants and always have a get out of Jail free card?  You fine with that Blocker?

Well I'll either be there or not. If I'm there I can engage you regardless of flag status(on beta) and you can either a) Drop an armoured, tank me and jump or b) Engage and either win or lose
If I'm not there then what difference does your flag status make ?

Granted that before the change you needed someone else on the other side of the plant to shoot at, and this flagged you. I thought that you could still jump internally even flagged anyway ? I'm not sure on this because I've never dropped a tele to "get away" I'll fight and either win or lose..

If you can apply the flag rule only on beta I'm ok with flagging by shooting plants.

Re: Shooting plants does not flag you.

the problem is people can undock from a beta terminal go shoot a plant, then TP back to the Station and dock up.  Instantly.

I'm confused, how do you TP back to a station ? To the best of my knowledge you can only TP to a teleport near a station. You then have to walk to said station. Is there something going on I'm not aware of ?

Most teleports are 1000M away which is like 12 seconds now.

ahh yes fair enough, I keep forgetting about the speed boost.

Wait a minute, most SAPS are more than 1000m away from a station, I think you'll find most teleports are at least 2000m away from a station. However, given the speed boost it still takes less time to get from teleport to station. IS there a proposed teleport network revamp planned ? I thought I read about one somewhere, maybe that will shift them further away from stations on beta at least.
