Its time to stop the newbie baiting CCP with these bait griefing tactics of kill rights. Its even worse on the Jita undock. If the kill right is activated then those pilots should not be able to instantly dock jump into a blingy ship and then go kill the person.
make them have an aggression timer so they cant dock immediately
Someone learned the hard way why you don’t play undock games with gankers.
Why should they be vulnerable to your act of aggression just because you, or some other sore loser making the kill right public, are carrying a grudge? You realize EvE is a PvP game, you consent to PvP when you click undock, and you’re going to lose ships through bad decisions?
OK, here’s just one: why don’t empire cops attack those who attack citizens of that empires? Unless there is CONCORD around you have nothing to worry about.
I don’t enjoy spending time rummaging around online to discover facts that should be provided in-game, so yeah, I’d appreciate it. I thought for a while maybe that for some reason they just didn’t protect capsuleers but they really didn’t make sense to me.
It’s not a long search, and you’ll be disappointed because it’s not long and drawn out either.
When CONCORD was founded, the 4 faction governments ceded their authority to punish those who violated the peace. If CONCORD did it, then Amarr couldn’t get mad and start a new war when the Caldari punished an aggressive Amarr pilot.
And yeah, I think I read that somewhere in game. That’s about the only place I pick up random bits of EvE lore, by reading all the descriptions.
That…makes no sense to me. If the empire police don’t protect their citizens, then why do they exist? Just to find contraband and protect themselves? Sounds like more illogical CCP stupidness
You’re looking at this from a person playing a game. The lore is looking at this from the aspect of a group of governments that had lost trillions of people and hundreds of worlds each through decades of unending wars.
Personally I find it one of the little nuances of the game explained quite well by the lore.
Still doesn’t pass the logic test for me. The limitations of game mechanics can explain a lot of things, but when the whole backstory of the game is “four empires constantly in a semi-cold war” then the idea that empire cops are just decoration doesn’t add up. They could easily have made the local space police actually responsive to crime. That has nothing to do with with the big power struggle.
No one said the four empires were in a constant state state of semi-cold war. They were in a constant state of hot war, for centuries, until the Yulai Accords established CONCORD and the constant peace.
Maybe if you actually read things instead of gloss them over and make up the details, more stuff would pass your logic test. You need logic to have a logic test, after all.
