There are many, many reasons that indiscriminate killing ruins the game. Chris Roberts has always said the top of his list is immersion, and though many don't care to roleplay, some do. If you're roleplaying with a psychopathic serial killer on the loose, pretty much everyone will drop what...

I think one needs to look at the perceived gain. Killing someone because you want to take their stuff is not griefing. Killing them because that's fun, when you derive no benefit from it, is griefing. When people play psychopathic mass murders they make the game less fun for everyone and do...

Okay so, you believe then that if the consequences of unlawful killing in game are harsh enough, then we would be best off to avoid killing. If the consequences are not harsh, grief on! Is that your position? No reason to not kill unless the consequences to us individually are in some...

I'm sorry I don't know what that means. Do you know what that means? Okay so your point is that killing is not necessarily "wrong" in the game? You didn't intend to say that you believe this in general in real life? I think it would be wise for you to think about what you type before you type...

It is the basis for all Western Civilization. Study some world history and you'll see it is things like this that lifted humanity from the muck 3,600 years ago. To this day, there is still no better system. Okay I'll bite. What would make killing wrong in your eyes? What could ever make...

It's important to note that "an eye for an eye" is the measure handed down in Torah through the lawgiver Moses, iterated in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, and is specifically intended as a guideline for the maximum penalty that could be handed out by a judge in a court of law. 1600 years later when...

We hear this a lot, but I am pretty sure CIG is on record that UEE ships do not have a self-destruct, only Vanduul ships. Also, there is a plan to hugely inconvenience players when they die--no details forthcoming yet, but this is intended to thwart the kind of solution you're proposing...

And earlier still. "Father, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."

I think two things: First, I think that whenever I am tempted to view the common man with contempt, it is wise to focus for a moment on my own shortcomings. It's much easier to excuse others with them currently in mind. What I can't then excuse I need to forgive, and as a huge recipient of...

So if a player steals your ship, and the only way you can see to get it back is to kill him, you can't get your ship back? Or you're being boarded. You have no melee weapons that disarm or disable, but you have a gun that will kill. You can't shoot back if they're human?

Yes well, suppose we were to do any analysis correctly and decided in advance upon some ethical theory or another we could agree on, perhaps like graded absolutism (very popular since it is very strong.) So when values come in conflict, the moral thing is to support the "greater" value. So we...

I think the ethics behind this is hopelessly complex and far too much to have a cogent discussion about. I'm actually trained in philosophy, and I can tell you ethics is notoriously complex. As soon as you start to ask questions the whole field grows into an enormous quandary of new questions...

If you depend upon armor for its own mobility within relatively short ranges compared to their transports, but long ranges compared to troops on foot, the Hulls C is a likely candidate. You're then not planning to fly a transport into battle, and no one should want to do this. Even armored...

Only very small tanks. There has never been a US plan to airdrop main battle tanks because the infrastructure needed for them, especially including fuel, but also engineers, etc., is too much to provide without supply lines. We don't know what the fuel requirement will be for the Novas yet, so...

The Tumbril is 5M tall. I don't think it can fit in the Tally. I think it would be great if it does, but as you say we need to see the rework. Tanks don't usually get moved by anything one could call a drop ship. They usually get toted about by cargo craft like a C-17. I doubt there is a...

I doubt a Tally can carry a Tumbril, but my guess is a Hull C can.

Some parts have been very playable for a long time. https://video.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?fr=yhs-adk-adk_sbnt&hsimp=yhs-adk_sbnt&hspart=adk&p=Star+Citizen+FPS#id=51&vid=b9dacbf0323899a3e0067f5f18809bf1&action=click

Even locations with nothing of value can become battlegrounds when the prize of a nice ship is at stake. Anyone who finds a derelict Bengal is likely going to fight to keep it.

Drop ships are for settings where the actual transport can't land on a beachhead, planet, dock with a ship, etc. In Star Citizen, almost all the ships players will have regular access to can land planetside. I'm pretty sure even the Idris can land. Not sure about the Javelin, and probably the...
