All of those have some foot print though. To be found in the rules.

I think this covers all questions.

2. Fairplay & Gameplay

1 Stealing / Blueprints / Infiltration / Sabotage 1.1 You are NOT allowed to steal backpacks or structures from players on PvE Starter Playfields (planets and orbits). This rule only applies to PvE Starter Playfields, not PvP Starter Playfields. 1.2 You are allowed to capture the blueprints of other players (in PvP) and use them on HWS (this includes selling them via HWS Garage), but you may NOT post the blueprints in the public space (Workshop, Discord, Steam for example).

3. Behavior & Chat

1. Language & Chat 1.1 You can use any language you want in general chat. But we suggest you use English so everyone can understand.

What’s the problem!?

[RexXxuS]

Ah, sure. Thought it’s known.

@Modnoc

Are players allowed to be in different factions in EU & NA?

@Modnoc

Are factions allowed different alliances in EU & NA?

Yes, but same as above

@Modnoc

Are you randomly allowed to change your player name?

Yes, but as happened already not like this:

@RexXxuS

This, of course, applies to faction names as well. We also reserve the right to warn / ban accounts that have the obvious intent to cover identity or other suspicious activity.

I take issue with #3, its unfair, unjust and against everything I try to do on HWS.

Cannibals are people too, you know.
