faction penalties

May 09, 2004 andreas link
Corvus used to love me until a NT ran into my flares. I went down to hate immediatly and only by killing a few bots I was able to dock again. I also lost the "love" standing with NT (now dislike). Thats really screwed up. At least they has to be a way for the "victim" to forgive the kill. Also, being able to buy standing with cash would be nice (consider it a fine).

(Loosing more than 1000 points in standing for a single death is a bug, IMO. Thus posted here.)

let this be a lesson andreas.
Do not kill people. :D

to my understanding, the reason you dropped so much with corvus is because if someone is "respected" by a faction and you destroy them in that faction's home, you get -1000 points in standing.

the reason for dropping with NT is obvious.

I also believe this is a feature and not a bug.

Again, it was an accident. There should be a difference between a NT at minimal health triggering my flare and me actually trying to kill somebody.

Tell that to that guy's wife and kids. Do you think they forgive you for blowing their beloved father to smitherenes? Accident or no, you killed him! Don't you feel even a scrap of guilt you ice-blooded monster?
