If I remember correctly a little bit ago there was a forum posted about people being killed when they are afk. I am all for not shooting people when they are afk. There is no pride in it at all but for some reason every time I run into certain people they are always afk. Here are some of the things that are stating to bother me.
1. Player that bomb 2 planets park next to one they capped in a cluster and go afk. Do you really think we should let you live to come back and jump out???? You just bombed 2 planets and when i say bombed i mean mirved.
2. There is a battle going on between 2/3 fractions where we are invading or defending and player goes afk by planet where battle is going on. Hello...jump out where we cant find you!
3. 2 players engage and fight for back and forht one jumpes out comes back into nuteral(half your/half nme) planets and goes afk.
This is starting to bother me I dont want to be that guy accused of attacking people when they are afk but lets use some common sense. This is a game of war I think we are fairly nice as it is. Let me know what you everyone thinks. 99.9% of the time when I am told some one is afk or bugged I let them be.
...and DragonSlayer you have lost your AFK privlages in my book. If your at work and you have a customer come in, jump out and log...I am done be so nice....

If your afk anywhere, your asking to be killed.
anybody complaining about it should be smacked. severely
edit: if you don't think it's right to shoot afk people, then don't.

Like in most of all games, sometimes RL interferes and thus we must go into the state of AFK.
However, that is no excuse to not be killed.
See, before you leave your computer, generally you have the option of getting yourself out of harms way. If your going to be gone 2 minutes, jump out. If your going to be gone 2 hours, log.
If you were AFK and you got killed - it is completely and utterly your own fault. Under no circumstance is the person who killed you guilty of anything other than playing the game - and if that be by god we all should be hanged.
Going AFK in the middile of a battle or in a hostile area , is like waving a $50 in front of a homeless person in a dark alley at 12 in the morning - the end result is probably not going to be pretty. Getting angry at the person who killed you is probably the most moronic and idiotic things to do, since after all, its your own fault.
If its something like lag, or a bug, then yes, its alot more honorable and a helluva lot more sportsmanlike to help them get out of such a problematic situation - but if you went afk, your free game, plain and simple.
So as fattie said, anyone who complains about getting killed while afk really does deserve to smacked - severely.

To translate from Enterprahili to English
Red = Dead, no second way about it.

my policy is if your AFK at a planet enemy comes along he has the right to kill you.
if you want to go AFK jump out just past the outer most planet orbital path, enemy wont be able to find you out there as your not sitting in the system or jump paths of enemy ships,

too bad it's not the old pre-universe-server MV.. you could just jump out a few minutes into nowhere and then end up 4 billion gu away! Complete safety, merely a 63 day jump away.

I could have sworn that someone just said that.
Oh well, I guess it'd be sorta redundant to accuse Jack of being a post whore

I can still give my opinion, even if it's the same. It's basicly just agree'ing with what they said.
But thank you for giving me the material to post another reply  .
