Non consensual PvP is tantamount to assault

For men it's assault. For women it's something else. It's like innocently walking on the sidewalk then suddenly some PvP'er comes up to you and punches you in the face. Is that ok?

We should have recourse to report it to in-game authorities, and if enough people report, the perp will be hunted down and put on trial, and judged by a jury of their peers. The victims will then have an opportunity to tell of the crime committed against them. And if found guilty the perp would be sentenced according to sentencing guidelines.

This would be awesome gameplay! In exchange for being a judge and serving in a jury, CMDR's would be rewarded with credits, goods, or other goodies. Also, players can serve as bounty hunters finding the criminal and bringing them to justice.

What do you think? Is non consensual PvP assault and should it be punished by in-game gameplay?

Not in the way you indicate.

I've always been an advocate of greater visibility in game for griefers and the ability to see their rough location and to be able to hunt them for their bounty.

I nearly fell for the bait, too.

He clearly says in-game. So keep calm everyone :D

And OP, it's either assault or murder (and you already get a bounty...)

Like I said, it's a slap on the wrist. They should be paraded down the station promenade, tarred and feathered, for forced to river dance for hours at a time.

No. If PvP upsets you that much, play in private groups or solo. It's what I do. It's what Commander Shepard does. (the ME commander, not a player ingame with that name)

Perhaps there's some religious guidance you can turn to?

I mean, personally I enjoy a good smite but I realise some religions take a dim view of it.

Conversely, some religions might dictate that you accept any smiting that comes your way with good grace.

Ultimately, I suppose it would be an ecumenical matter.

Oh? I've never seen them patrol Shinrarta Dezhra. That's where most of the scum hang out. And if Shinrarta is empty, they troll starter areas for victims.

What if you couldn't go outside to even get groceries because waiting for you just outside or around the corner are a bunch of gankers just biting at the bit to f'your world up. Or that you can't even drive to work normally because griefers are constantly ramming your vehicle.

Just imagine what a world that would be.

We must have order.

We must have law.

We must have justice.

The scum must be brought to justice and punished. And there should be in-game mechanics to make that happen.

I often wondered why there are no missions to hunt maleficent (or even innocent, if it's a straight out assassination mission) commanders. We should have this in game. We need this in game.

Oof. While there is nothing much that has to be said here...

Except that I haven't been drinking my coffee yet and therefore I wasn't awake and aware enough. Good way to wake me up reading this. Fell for it.

A CMDR attacking another, non-outlaw, CMDR in essentially any legal jurisdiction is already assault in-game.

The reporting is automated and the punishment is outlawry...if the CMDR survives (and they always do), they pay a fine.

Why the sexist distinction?

I think PvP (only) criminals should be locked to open after a certain notoriety threshold.
If their notoriety keeps going up, eventually you can purchase their location for X time from security contacts, which simply shows on the map.
At maximum (is there a maximum?) notoriety, you can purchase detailed location data, essentially a beacon.

As a fun little bonus, you can scan wanted CMDRs with a KWS and sell the Intel back to stations, allowing for easier location for a limited time.
Assuming you survive. :p

To be honest I can't help feeling in game actions should have some sort of real life repercussion, at then end of the day the issue is with the person behind the joystick.

So in the example of an in game assault (or worse) then it would be good to name and shame, this would then have a detrimental affect on the perpetrator's real life. For example their family would could be made aware through social media and other channels, it could also affect future job prospects as employees would be unlikely to want this sort of person in their working for them.

I'm detecting sarcasm, with subtle a hint of desire.
