In Elite Dangerous, there's no middle ground between Open and Mobius. You either go to the Wild West, or must forfeit PvP altogether. Enter Greymalkin. A Private Group for consensual PvP with standards. This is a non-binding group, and you can come and go as you please. You are all welcome to join! A. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT Pilots can play the game however they like in the Greymalkin Private Group, as long as they follow these Rules of Engagement: 1. Safe Havens 2. Unprovoked Attacks 3. Piracy 4. Duels 5. Non-Valid Targets 6. Interdiction 7. Combat Logging RULE 1: SAFE HAVENS Starter systems are Safe Havens and PvP is strictly forbidden in these areas. Pilots with Combat Rank of Novice or below cannot be engaged in PvP, unless they give explicit consent. Rule 1 supersedes all other Rules of Engagement. RULE 2: UNPROVOKED ATTACKS Unprovoked Attacks (attacking without warning) are allowed if the target meets any of the following criteria: 1. Has a Bounty on their head. 2. Is an Enemy (aligned to an opposing Superpower). 3. Is fighting for an opposing Faction in a Conflict Zone. 4. Is in an Anarchy system. RULE 3: PIRACY Piracy is the only type of PvP allowed against Clean pilots that don't meet any of the requirements for Unprovoked Attacks. Pirates can only start an attack if these three conditions are met: 1. The target has been instructed to stop and submit for a Cargo Scan. 2. The target has valuable Cargo (anything other than Limpets). 3. Five seconds have passed after the Cargo Scan, and the target has not responded to the Pirate's demands. The target can be demanded to submit to Interdiction while in Supercruise, giving enough time for them to read the message before initiating Interdiction (5-10 seconds). This also counts as meeting point 1 above. If the target moves or starts their FSD, and they have been warned, they can be attacked. If the target fought against the Interdiction attempt, and they were warned previously, they can be attacked. If the target deploys hardpoints, they can be engaged immediately, even if the previous requirements aren't met. If the target complies with the Pirate's demands and releases the requested Cargo, they CANNOT be attacked. Having "Crimes Reported Against Me" enabled doesn't count as not complying with the Pirate. Attacks against compliant pilots will result in the removal of the Pirate from the group. Piracy is a very ritualized form of PvP and role-playing is encouraged, though not mandatory. RULE 4: DUELS Duels are PvP fights between consenting parties. After a Duel has been agreed, participants can engage in combat as soon as they are in the same instance. Victory conditions (shields down, escaping the instance or ship destruction) should be agreed upon before combat begins. A Duel is considered to be finished as soon as one side moves to a different instance, unless agreed otherwise. RULE 5: NON-VALID TARGETS Unaligned Clean pilots without Cargo, outside of Anarchy systems, are not valid targets for PvP, unless they consent to a Duel. Any attack against them will result in the immediate removal of the offender from the group. RULE 6: INTERDICTION Interdicting non-valid targets is not allowed, and can result in banning from the group. Bounty Hunters can't interdict Clean pilots for the purpose of KW Scans. They should chase the suspect and scan them once they jump out of Supercruise. Please note that any pilot can be Interdicted for the purpose of Piracy (refer to Rule 3). Interdicting is considered an act of aggression, and turns the interdictor into a valid target for the interdictee. Note that the in-game law system may disagree, and attacking a Clean interdictor will turn the interdictee into a Wanted criminal. RULE 7: COMBAT LOGGING After being reported for Combat Logging three times, the offender will be banned from the group. B. PvP EVENTS In order to ensure there's PvP in such a vast galaxy, we will organize community events, where players can meet and fight. These are some of our ideas: 1. Disrupt the Trading Route Players will be divided in two groups, Traders and Pirates. Traders, escorted by fighting ships, will move Cargo from Station A to Station B. Pirates will try to assault the convoys to steal the Cargo. 2. Protect the VIP One player will be designed as the VIP. The rest will be divided in two groups: Bodyguards and Hitmen. The VIP will travel from Station A to Station B through a publicly known route. 3. Ground Assault One team must defend a settlement, while the other must scan all its Data Points. 4. Surival of the Best Fitting A 1v1 tournament that is celebrated every year in a remote corner of the bubble. The winner gets the Galactic Soap Cup. 5. Dirty Racing Canyon racing. With guns. And that's it. If you are interested, just send an in-game request to join the Private Group "Greymalkin". Fly safe! EDIT: Greymalkin is going to be a playground to enjoy PvP with standards (or even just the idea that you could be interdicted in your T-9 at any moment by another player). It's a space where PvP is allowed, without griefing and abuse. You are welcome to jump in and jump out as often a you like. Our Rules of Engagement are there to ensure everyone plays by the same rules, and that those rules are fair for both attackers and targets. You only need to follow them while playing in our private group / server. You are free to play the way you want outside of it. If you only want to participate in our events, you are very welcome to do so. You can think of Greymalkin as an amusement park. You enter when you feel like it, and the park managers don't follow you outside of it. But while you are inside, you need to follow some rules, so everyone has fun, and no one gets hurt. If they don't want to, of course. :)
