HWS Police - Report a crime

Tripwire · August 7, 2018, 4:20am

Server: NA

Type of Offense Committed: Attempted Ramming by BYA Faction Member

Time/Date of offense: 0000 approximate server time

Player/Faction accused: BYA

Player Faction reporting: (TCB) Tripwire

What happened? While we were attacking the Rebel bases on GG a BYA SV attempted to ram and lock down a TAW HV. This person attempted this several times during this video to ram and lock the TAW HV.

Why did it happen? Gross disregard to the server rules as best as I can tell and they most likely didn’t expect us to be videoing it.

Evidence: https://youtu.be/LnI9S1a1Vc8

Action to be taken: This member should be held accountable for their gross actions and disregard for server rules. This is not the first nor the last time they will attempt this kind of action until someone gets severally punished.

Note: if the video does not play let me know and I will attempt to re-upload again.

Outcome: While a SV should not belong to the ground in such scenarios I don’t see a “gross” tackling / rule violation here. Most of the times the pilots got in their own way by each other. I’m waiting for BYA response to this but leave it as a warning.
To save your and my time please make sure to read the (updated) rule about tackling again:

2. Fairplay & Gameplay

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.

Note : When reporting violations, please include ENTIRE video evidence (Screenshots are not sufficient evidence). Video evidence that you clip not showing the entire fight will not be used. It is on the accuser to provide complete evidence. Please provide timestamps of the REPEATED collisions.

Explanation : Tackling is the REPEATED attempt of one ship to stop another ships movement. If you change directions and collision occurs that is your fault and theirs. If you are going toward someone who is also going toward you and you collide even if you turn your ship around at the last minute and you both collide it is both parties fault. Tackling is one ship clearly not moving toward another ship and the other ship colliding REPEATEDLY into you. Last but not least this rule only applies if you get forcefully pinned down for a long time so the enemy can destroy your ship while you can’t do anything.
