Type of Offence Committed:
7.1 Do not tackle other ships with your ships! This notion of ‘tackling’ is considered an exploit, and is an ILLEGAL tactic when used intentionally to disable or hinder movement of a vessel.
Time/Date of offence: 22:53 - 22:56 15-09-2015
Player/Faction accused: [RED] Darkside
Player Faction reporting: GCGN
What happened? Darkside tackled Goblin when entering into donator planet atmosphere of EARTH2.
You can see Goblin warped into the sector at the start and the tackles start at [1.20 on the video] in the atmosphere while goblin was entering our planets to prevent him from entering.
Why did it happen? The intention was to chase Goblin into our atmosphere and stop him dead in his tracks by bumping him like a whale from the underside to stop him reaching the planet before the server restart.
Please see time slot 1.20 on the video to see Darkside hitting Goblins ship and the speed drops right down on each contact.

Outcome: Athmospheres in Empyrion are buggy. If you leave your cockpit, you die. If you dock, you die. If you see 1:18 you get stuck even from full speed to 0. That way Darkside could catch up and used you as break. Also make sure to check the full spectrum of the tackling rule:
