I know I havent been on in a while so I am a little out of date on current game situation, but after reading a post about a mass UGTO ban and then later in that same thread I see someone got a forum ban.
Just wondering. Did the staff have a meeting and decide to step up the beatin' stick usage? If so, thats not a bad idea at all. Those of us that really love this game will endure a couple bops on the head while the law gets laid down, and at the same time the new show of force may well run out some of the rif raf that like to bend the rules and exploit little things whenever they can.

why is it every ones always pointing at the staff saying it their fault, you all do beacon spam too much and infront of admins so whos the idiot now..... you go luth and find out and youll be disgusted at how every one beacon spammes and uses observe to find luth then you can apolagize.

I haven't been playing long, but in the few days I have, I have been playing K'luth in the MV, I have had a signature over 200 twice with lots of beacons on my ships. If you can be tracked with " a " beacon wouldn't that be enough ? I have had some encounters with lag and can understand how some-things can happen twice but if a ship that can cloak is beaconed it doesnt need to be beaconed again until it wears off and regains the ability to cloak again.
I think what Feralwolf did was correct and he took the right action to correct it, with the notice up about beacon spamming for all to read and abide by it, it was the only action he could take.

yes but how can YOU as a player or staff TELL that it was them doing it? you cant tell because 1. i reported someone myself and 2. i needed for THE PLAYER THAT BEACONED ME to be in the picture with me SHOOTING the beacons....now if feral or any one of you got beaconed and you blame the first person who was in front of you I.E Dragonslayer, Starfist or what have you...all it is is Bias bullcrap and pointing fingers at the ones WHO MIGHT have done it....
not Defending actions here...just speaking from experience

Well for starters..since you were not there Goththug ( I was there )...the ones who got kicked were the ones who were beacon spamming. And since you were not there GothThug you shouldn't say anything about something you didnt know about.....speaking from the experience.

now as many kluth players know i try to limit my beacons to 1 per ship and if i do hit them with more and they escape i yell out saying sorry for the double beacons or so and if my ship gets a weapon bug that all weapons fire including the beacons i then cancel them ASAP and if i see a UGTO player beaconing a kltuh to no end i ask them in yell to turn them off and lay off them as if the player is lagged due to the beacons it means they cant fight well so its not a fair fight and i hate it if that happens and i know very well wat happens with beacons on luth ships it really plays hell with the game and thats with about 2 or 4 beacons on me and my computer can handle almost anything.

umm ok first off feral DID say sorry to myself for kicking me out of the server, his quick temper took me out of game only to find out that my dread didnt even have a single beacon launcher aka he got the wrong ship that beaconed him that was the day before the mass ugto kicking spree.
Now the rules have been talked about to myself from multiple mods and the consensus is that you are allowed to fire off beacon after beacon but you must stop firing beacons at the target if your beacons hit the ship ... Now in the heat of a battle with multiple ships in the past ive fired off around 7 beacons at a single ship/target to which only 1 stuck due to target pilot skills at dodging them so fired 7 only 1 hit.
my point if in a big scale battle you fire off the same 7 and 5 hit due to pilot being either rubbish at piloting or what ever we cannot shift +T to remove the other 4 beacons that are not needed on that target, might i suggest a little programming from the admins so they beacons work very much like Infantry do in that only 1 at a time can be landed on an enemy ship.
please tell me that this will not only kill out beacon spam but will save ugto pilots from also getting persicuted for beacon spamming if only 1 beacon is allowed to stick ??
hope some of this can be seen by both sides as good idea hell if they can do it with inf no reason they cant with beacons.
