Ok just a few things that has come to the staff's attention:

- There is a lot of petty fighting going on between clans. I'm not talking about normal dogfights etc, but the flamefests of "o im better than you, your not my friend etc". This will cease immediately.

- Some join messages are inappropriate and are to be changed as soon as possible. These include phrases to incite flamefests between people/clans, and obviously swearwords. Staff reserve the right to what is and isnt appropriate.

- Show staff respect. They are here to help you and make the server fun, not a shooting target. There are enough messages that pop up on universe chat stating this.

- There will be be no more false claims of harrassment and dockrape. Simple enough to remember.

-If a member is getting the crud knocked out of them many times, and then wishes to leave the system, they must be left alone. Anyone still attacking is in the naughty box

-Although it isnt against the rules, refrain from regenning in combat with another player, for it is considered dishonourable and it spawns flamefests.

- Stick to the basic rules of FLU and you will be fine.

These problems are obviously due to a influx of newer inexerperienced players, or arent aware of the customs/regulations/rules of FLU. The tomfoolerly is to cease immediately. Failure to comply will earn you a one way trip to Alaska.

That is all.

+1 oh and enjoy this:

Common Sense is the term of the day…..and week….and month…and year….

Actually thats quite a fair point Beedo.

The rule still stands, but like Beedo said, rather than spawning flamefests use a different character.

For those to lazy to click on the link:

-Kurile"]Base camping is an iffy subject. Sometimes the person deserves the camping, other times they dont. For a base camp, we generally wont get involved unless the person in question has been camped down for a decently long period of time, around 45 minutes and up. You must give the person a chance to flee every so often. If that person does not take the offer you have given them, and they choose to stay, that's their fault, and you may continue. They do have other characters. Note: Any Admin or SP has the right to stop a camp at any time.

and my all time favourite:

-Kurile"]Short story: We wont ban anyone cause they kill you.

New players only have one character, what about those?

I find that F1'ing out as soon as a pirate enters the same system as a trader the trader cheating somewhat. Just dissapearing at the first sign of trouble is much like using F1 to dissapear right in front of someone. The only real difference is a bigger distance.
Either face the enemy in your LT or cruise in a different direction. When hidden at a 'safe spot', a place where he isn't likely to find you, the risk of getting blown up is gone and F1'ing to do something else would be fine.

I don't get it why people think LT's are hard to beat in a VHF. Most people regenerate when in a VHF against an LT while they don't even have to. They can just fly out of range and wait for their shields to return, or use asteroids to hide behind the entire time.
