Speed limit is way to low and unfair

This is all very extremely simple,

1. You do not get any tickets or fines for speeding! So speed away I do..
2. IF you hit another ship while speeding then you will get fined! Or possibly worse..
3. BUT BUT what about if a popo hits me when he is scanning me?? IF you HEAR a popo ship even remotely getting close to you and you are speeding slow down!
4. learn2fly.
5. Do you speed in real life on the highway's? Same rules apply, pay attention and if popo's nearby slow down! :D

Rammers don't care about the speed limit because it does nothing to stop them from ramming. They've got nothing better to spend credits on. It's the best credits they've ever spent.

Plus they have a new sidewinder trick to play on people who think it is fine to ignore the glacial limit.

I don't ram people purposly but the fact that if I go a SANE speed and accidently hit someone I'm then blackslisted from that system for a full WEEK is insanity. When you can be blacklisted from a system for a week due to ONE accident then its a speed limit.

Okay. Are you aware that the collision offences are fine-grained, by the seriousness of what you did?

If you don't get through the shield, no crime.

If you cause hull damage to another ship, it's a fine. Not a bounty.

Only if you destroy another ship with your collision does it become a bounty.

So what you did was go fast enough that your collision destroyed another ship. Can everyone just stop and think about that for a second. You killed another pilot. And you got a bounty. 'SANE speed', 'ONE accident'... you're trying to make it sound like it's completely unreasonable. I don't think it is.

I just don't understand why people are concerned about this, I have been playing since December and the only collisions I have had have been "paint scapers" in the mailslot. I normally will dock at whatever speed I am comfortable with and that is dependent on where the pad is and what I am flying. I must have docked thousands of times and have never tried to occupy the same space as another ship, except as I said in the mailslot and then it was only when in a T9 or alongside one.

If you don't normally collide with other ships why change how you fly, it seems to be working for you so far :D

They adjusted how bounties work this patch as well. You just can't pay off your own murder fees so easily anymore.

I still fly around like a madman in my vulture doing loop de loops in the air before landing.

The real issue is OTHER people trying to ram into you in sidewinders and blowing up.
I think you still get a bounty now.

Ahh. But they did cater the game to way you play. Having a limit is fine (although it was fine without one too), but it is too low, 130 would have been more reasonable; and too big a zone, 1km from the entrance would have done the same job.

I am really astonished how many people struggle to understand this despite it being a pretty simple rule: go as fast as you want, if you don't hit anyone you won't receive a fine. How is that unfair?

Do you prefer deliberately ramming and damaging or destroying other ships near station entrances go unpunished?

What's the problem with that? It has been the game mechanic before.

Plus, it's mostly NPC ships ramming others.

Speed limit and fines have to go. Period. It's just adding to the grind, without providing any benefit to the players.

truth.. i actually tested that last night and was "speeding" in front of a station until i was scanned, and i remained "speeding" [though i throttled down to 107m/s or so].. no fine or anything

think FD did good coz i love me ship and dont want it rammed into oblivion - will see how that turns out [also, i have not been rammed by now but i sometimes do read the forums..

What if I'm in combat with someone and I ram them, on purpose or not, do I get fined/bounty?

If you are in the no fire zone around the station, and you were going over the speed limit, then yes, you get fined (if it's only shield/hull damage) or a bounty (if you kill them).

Of course if you're in combat (i.e. shooting) inside the no fire zone, then you've already got a fine.

I have to agree, never seen so many 'whiners' in one place - rules are there for a reason - follow them and there will be no reason to complain after the fact ...

ummm, there's no disadvantage either... It was implemented to help reduce people ramming inside of stations purposely.

The speed limit literally changes absolutely nothing when it comes to docking into a station, unless you happen to hit another ship. How hard is that to grasp?

Keep you eyes open, don't be a clueless pilot, and you'll be just fine.

Er, it's not that people don't 'understand it' - that is easy enough - some folks, like moi, just didn't *know* it. Thanks for explaining. I see it is all written up fully in the new, er, manual. Now where is that thing...
