Ive given this a fair bit of thought. But, lets keep the post nice and short.
There isnt any c&p system. All criminals (gankers and griefers) operate with impunity.
Its not acceptable to force players into segregated gametypes and groups.
Im sure yall will miss me but Im done playing until a proper c&p is in place.
Its simple. Have only one gametype, call it Elite Dangerous. Remove private groups and solo.
Now, allow players to"opt-in" to PvP.
If a player chooses to "opt-in" to PvP they can be a criminal with others, they can hunt criminals, they can PvP all they want.
If a player chooses to not "opt-in" they can still be victims, and, if they choose to PvP, they can. That said, if a player has chosen to not "opt-in" and they are ganked/griefed (call it was it is... murdered, assaulted, pirated) then the criminal pays for the rebuy and the cargo.
So, let the criminals be criminals. Its a valid playstyle, albiet annoying and disengaging.
Why is it annoying and disengaging? Because there are no penalties.
So, protect the innocent by imdemnifying thier financials. Protect the innocent by not imposing the rebuy. Instead, charge the rebuy to the criminal.
How to charge the criminal? They are not allowed to undock until the fees are paid. At some point theyll have to dock, so, they are locked at the dock until they pay the fines.
This allows the gamestyles to continue and ensures the victims are somewhat protected.
