You cant block vicinity outright

Blocks only help 1 person at a time ... if you have the same player or group of players throwing insults aimed towards race/ethnicity/religion/ancestry/nationality/sexual preference at many many different people their is a problem. Blocking only protects one person at a time, the source of the problem still exists to effect others.

So NO!,  blocks are not effective to stop the behavior if you do not deal with the source of the problem.

Bragging that you won a fight is good / bad sportsmanship how ever you see it. that can be accomplished with out personal attacks.

Baiting your enemy to fight you is expected it can be done with out personal attacks.

Trying to say that the person being attacked is the source of the problem is insane.

Devs, you want to make your game grow many it fun for people, watching people call others N___rs or C___ks or what have you is not fun to watch unless your a racist yourself.

Then why do you have rules like

# 11. Posts containing obscene or vulgar phrases, pornography, extreme violence, references to illegal drugs or activities, real-life threats, insults aimed towards race/ethnicity/religion/ancestry/nationality/sexual preference of others, or otherwise objectionable content are forbidden. This also applies to links pointing to pages containing aforementioned content.

? ? If you are not willing to enforce your own EULA evenly across the board it is useless and needs to be removed so everyone here can threaten harass and abuse each other until S___ starts to get Real..

You say that some may have a "thick skin" but what happens when images or other RL info starts to get released in game targeting people ? is that the line for banns? Or are you going to say again HARDEN THE F____ UP !

Selectively enforcing your EULA will only give you guys a bad reputation, It will not help your game or your games community.

It boils down to enforce the EULA or get rid of it !!!

Its only effecting people trying to play by the rules.

The following suggestions are based on the following idea. Gamma islands should not be able to be “locked” form other players by using teraforming and turrets to surround the gates to the island. If we agree on this the we can also agree upon a roadmap of what should happen in order to accomplish the above. Not all are my Ideas but many are really good to bring more risk and reward to gamma. A good balance will be if bases are stronger but the island is weaker. 

Island

All Gamma islands are limited to one Terminal of any size. The primary reason for this limitation is to prevent the placing terminals as close to the gates as possible. No gamma has only one gate so there will always be a weak point.

Colony structures limited to 2.5 to3km from all teleports.

Gamma islands Should be limited to 2 or 3 teleports, the few islands we have with 4 teleports need to be remapped for the network to support 3 teleports.

Colony

Gamma colonies are designed to be about 3x3 to 5x5 KM in size. This means a T1 base will have a 1.5km build radius T2 will have about 2km radius and a T3 will have about a 2.5 km build radius. This rule will be limited to base defenses (turrets). Colonies will still be able to expand outward in order to place mining towers for colixium mining.

Bandwidth modifications need to be made to the following:

Terminals T1 ~ 40,000 | T2 ~ 60, 000 | T3 ~ 80,000

Turrets all need to share the same bandwidth 250, 275,300

Facility upgrades need to be rebalanced @ 100, 125, 150,

Batteries need to be rebalanced @ 100, 125, 150

Boosters need to have sensor boosting as an option removed

All turrets need to use the same optimal range according to their tier 1000, 1200, 1400, additionally the AI for turrets needs to be adjusted to make the turret lock and shoot @ or beyond its optimal range including falloff range.

This change will make a full T1 colony viable on gamma.

NEW ~ Plasma Collecting

Gamma colonies are built and supported by their owners, a gamma colony deployed on an island will require and consume resources from that specific island. This means the owner of the colony will be required to collect plasma from the islands “plasma fields” in order to fuel its reactors. The reactors are considered fully supplied if there are 5 plasma collectors collecting plasma. These plasma fields will rotate their location just like mineral fields when depleted. A single plasma field can be collected for a period of 14 days. This collection of plasma will be absorbed in to the colonies reactors with no transportation needed. But the Plasma collectors will need to be guarded by the colony owners, the plasma collectors look similar to the current mining towers and also have one reinforcement cycle.

Terraforming

Terraforming distance from all teleports should be hard coded at 1.5 to 2km. so players cannot change the terrain this close to the teleports.

Colony Terraforming limitations should only allow a corporation or player to Tf the island according the already existing island. This means the terraformer can change the terrain based upon the original height map of the island, this will allow for a single tile to be moved 75 to 100m  up or down. This terraformed tile will be in its terraformed state as long as there is a colony structure within 250m of the tile. If the tile has no colony structure in its area then that tile will revert to its original state after a period of 7 days.   

This new TF system will allow for limited customization of every island while not breaking the texture of the game engine with 1000m walls. This also emphasizes the aspect of “living” on gamma. Corporations will no longer be able to terraform a gate closed and wait for the attacker to breach it. If the owning player does not actively patrol his island it will revert back to its original state.

+1 to updating the names in some coherent manor.

Can we get the guns to match the color of the Mech ... geezzz

Players  are gathering the pitch forks in GC .. some one dooo something !!!     

I think its only "FAIR" to give people back what was taken from them.

I sent you a reply yesterday (my time).

If done properly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXA559KNopI we don't need ice

we do not need $$$ >> NIC transactions .... its bad for the game, esp. when F2P. If you wan t NIC it should be earned in game.

I think $$$ >> Perpetuum Credits is good enough

LOL ... I almost spit out my coffee when I saw this post.
