CtC Participants should not be protected by Stations and Faction System

Apr 10, 2010 Kierky link
Simple, stations should abolish Faction standing losses for CtC participants, when you hold the cargo, the only stations you can be protected by is your nations.

The NFZ will still work the same, however there should be no faction standing loss. Or if you see need for faction loss, make it the opposing nation, the one who you killed. Otherwise people can sit in admired territory with CtC ore and be protected by the faction loss system.

how would the station no you are doing ctc? what about players fighting in the station sector?

I like the idea but I think it would be much easier to abolosh standing losses for killing players in greyspace. TPG and orion could probably keep their protection cause they are mostly UIT but XX corvus tunguska aoelus and inubis should all get rid of faction penalties.

Or at least have them greatly reduced. I still want to know that what I'm doing when I kill newbies/traders/miners in grey that someone cares.

Well, you'd be holding the cargo, I'm sure the devs have a trigger event for that.

what about players fighting in the station sector?

Well, depends, really, I think we're going to have to come up with a new system for that. I think only the cargo bearer should be disadvantaged in this situation, as it only involves ITANI and SERCO. The rest of the factions could have the approach of: "We're not going to penalize you for carrying out Nationalistic duties". I don't really know, perhaps there should be a badge. Remember that the NFZ would still apply, only the faction loss would be removed or severely reduced.

It could have a faction loss for the stations faction involved, -10 like the bots give a penalty of.

Any more input, much appreciated.
