No tag needed for that but I hate to say it for the time being the server is down!  :(

While the server is down take the time to read the rules - we have them in several languages on the home page of the forums.  The rules are not difficult to follow.  As a new player there are a couple of things to be aware of.

1. No killing players under level 20 - unless they attack you or a PvP is arranged by mutual consent.  Alexandria System has a block on killing players under level 30.  New York is a non PvP system.  If there is a security malfunction and you get caught shooting down players (as opposed to NPC's) in New York you will face a ban.

2. PvP - during an agreed PvP it is considered rude to regenerate. Regeneration is not against the rules.  If you are a trader wishing to dock safely or to run from your assailant, regeneration is permitted.  If you are a player who does not wish to enter a fight and decides to make a run for it then regeneration is permitted.  If you are ambushed and choose to turn and fight regeneration is considered rude (just like it was rude of them to jump you in the first place)

3. Space is a dangerous place.  Beware of [R] tags and certain clans such as Eclipse and -=REAVERS=- as well as SYNDICATE.  While the serer is down take the time to research the Clan Forums to get a better idea of what these guys are about.

4. X tags are pirates - they can tax you to a max of 200k per session.  R tags are rogues and will normaly kill on sight.  Any one else needs to be treated with caution untl you are either a member of a clan and know what your alliances are or you have established yourself as a Freelancer and know who your mates are and who your enemies are.

Listen to what the ADMINS and the VOID Guardians are telling you. Obey their instructions and all will be well.

Hope that helps - Regards and welcome to the VOID - Zeb  :D

Its better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that
you\'re stupid, than to open it and remove all doubt.

And if you want to join the Void Freelancers Association [AoF] (not a clan) just take a look to this:

We Fight.We Trade.We Loot.At the moment some of us are building our muscle in order to protect our trade and offer the same to other individuals. Others are Trading. We are about protecting our assets and making a profit. We will talk to anyone who wants to make money. We will be your friend if the price is right. We will be your enemy if there is a profit to be made. This is a fluid and flexible market. We will bribe, persuade, coerce, support, betray, kill, make war or make peace if it is to our advantage and ultimate profit. We can be bought off - if the price is right. All negotiations will be kept mostly at a PM level with very little being revealed to all. You will all know something about [AoF] but never everything. Where possible we will try to remain strictly neutral - unless it is to our advantage and profit. We want to see the colour of your money.

There are two parts to AoF - [AoF][A] - the fighter wing & [AoF][T] our traders. There is also the AoF [X] Wing for freelancing pirates and outlaws.We wish to show that whilst we are "about the money" we wont back down from a head to head fight if it comes our way. We welcome competition but be warned, if you cross us or feel that we are a push over when it comes to our trading profits - think again! We will protect our assests.

[quote="Burn_Baby_Burn";p="164797"]Most of the info needed is stated in the "Server Rules" area.
You can read about it  HERE[/quote]

Welcome, and as Burn said - You can locate all the server Rules HERE

P.S:  AoF is the place to be if you are interested in Trading, Pirating, or Freelancing  ;)

Good luck.

Hello , it's me Kaos again bothering people around :P
I just want to clarify another thing without opening a new thread for it , this forum is already full of trash for silly questions... but whatever, i found info about a trading route , on some random planet between ring and port.
The idea of the route is that there must be 2 players , 1 with westerhand to dock the port and another one with an AT or sth to dock the ring.One player buys some loot from the docking ring (400$) and the other one sells it on the port (with >2000$).
And before i do some action in that area , I just want to make sure that it is not consittered a bug or something like that and illegal to do UNITED TEAMWORK for money.

Looking forward to an answer from an admin, Kaos out !

PS:edited to keep locations secret in case this is legal

Well, it is considered a bug, and port commodities are going to be fixed in the next release. (Meaning that they'll buy and sell the exact same things as the planet they're attached to.) As for trading using them... There have been plenty of unintended trade routes like this one in the past: NB, Baby, Omi Alpha, and so on - and noone was punished in any way for using them. Besides, I think you can make more money / minute by doing the NL-Leeds route, or the longer one, and it's a lot better than sitting in one place which some clans tend to frequent anyways :P Also, bear in mind that you'd have to split this profit between two people. Personally, I think you can make more money elsewhere, but I'll give this a try too, to see if I'm right or not.

If it is, then hell, it does make life easier for us if traders are just sitting in one place >)

That is a bug, and it would be appreciated if players would refrain from using this exploit, and it will be fixed in the next release of the mod.

If it is noticed by the powers that be that this "exploit" is being heavily used by a player then that player may face having their funds wiped (including all funds in bank).

"If you think it's against the rules, it probably is."
