OK so Mobuis Rules are clear for PvE ONLY except PvP in Combat Zones: - I think they should have your email upon joining this group to state their Rules.
Membership of the ElitePvE group:
Membership of the ElitePvE group (Mobius) is open to all players who wish to have a safe PvE environment with other players in Elite: Dangerous
Members are free to join any other group, clan, alliance, or similar. The ElitePvE group is non-exclusive.
There is no obligation to go online in the ElitePvE group whatsoever. It is merely yet another option to play the game. All members can play any other mode (open for all, solo, other groups) any time they wish.
Policy while playing in the ElitePvE group:
These rules apply while being online in the ElitePvE group.
It is not allowed to attack another player for any reason outside of Conflict zone. Conflict zones special rules apply, see below.
Players having a bounty, no matter how high, are no exception
Also players allied to another Power are no exception
Ramming another player on purpose is considered attacking, of course
It is not allowed to pull (interdict) another player out of supercruise
It is not allowed to accept or carry out missions which have another player as a target while playing online in the group.
Inside Conflict Zones the following rules apply:
It is not allowed to attack a neutral player (a player not having chosen a faction)
It is not allowed to attack another player while being neutral (not having chosen a faction oneself)
It is not allowed to attack another player on the own chosen faction
Only if both players have activly chosen opposing factions may they engage in combat
It is not allowed to exit and enter a warzone in rapid succession for the sole purpose of targeting other players. Only if the wrong faction was chosen by mistake or by mutual agreement of the present players (For example in order for everybody to join the same faction).
The above rules ensure, that players wishing no PvP at all can safely enter warzones as spectator or to decide actions later, without being forced into an unwanted fight.
It is not allowed to provoke criminal status by any means, like flying into the line of fire of a mining laser on purpose to flag another player as criminal.
Breaking any of the above rules will result in an instant ban without warning to protect the group from further unwanted infractions. Players making a complaint must supply a screenshot or other evidence for a ban to be implemented.
Commanders can appeal against the ban by contacting the group admins on this forum via PM or the contact form.
And finally again, the rules are here to clarify some details, not to complicate the game! We want to play together and have fun. That is the purpose of this game and the group.
"To each their own". "Do not spoil another players game".
BUT how about it? 5 Most WANTED Online Players Local List: so that Bounty Hunting does become what it should be.
A "HUNT!" even within Mobius. It's killed PvP Piracy and Bounty Hunting which is playing the game to be fair.
Are Private Groups allowed to be too big? I think so. If they were limited to be their intended purpose of having a group of friends play together without outside hassle then OPEN would flourish. Say a limit of 100 Players (about the highest record of Players in 1 Instance). We'd be more inclined to use SOLO as Trading but once you're super rich you may like to venture into OPEN for the random encounter.
