a lot of discusions has started to solve this problemof duelling.
a couple of ppl want a duel-sector, but i have a better idea:
you can change between hostile and nonehostile in a station.
everyone can see you status (maybee a small icon next to the selected players name).
if you kill a hostile person, you wont get hadet by his factions (maybe only by his gov.), if you kill someone nonhostile is the same, as it is now....

so wars and stuff would be possible in everysector and not only in one apish sector....

greets pp

there is a duelling sector. s40

No penalties, but still some combat experience

But if I kill a neut in s40 won't my standing go down?

I don't think so. If only we had some playtesters to go check...

Now where would we go to get those? Oh! Maybe we can get people to sign up to test the game for us!

s40 is a dueling sector already.
a) the devs said so
b) asp and I have made extencive use of it.

me(anansi) and ? have been testing it as well.
