Not really.

If you walk out onto the street and kill someone, the police aren't going to look at you and say 'Cheerio. Carry on.'. They're going to grab you and haul your arse into jail. And if you manage to elude them for a little while, they will block off the area so when you do try to leave, they will again nab you and haul your arse into jail. You see, criminal activities carry a consequence that you choose to face when you commit the crime. The flagging system is a simplified way of providing a means to keep wanton criminals in check. If you don't like it, there is plenty of lawless space for you to go to, just like there's plenty of high security space for miners to go to if they don't want to deal with your ilk. But if you break a law in a region that is considered to have some kind of law in place, then you also face the consequences. And you won't get any pity from anyone but yourself.

Why would a sentry gun around a station of a minmatar corp i have a great standing with gank me for killing some silly amarr?

I'm sorry it makes no sense from either an RP or gameplay point of view

The 15 minute wait is boring and after you've sat thru it there is no comeback from the person you've just pwned. Changing the rules so sentrys only attack if aggresive acts take place infront of them and upping the flagging time make sense to me, even if just to allow our "customers" to respond with some futile gesture of resistance.

On a side note Sec hits are already a large enough punishment without having to sit and stare at doonwongs ships arse.

YAAAAARRRRRRR

So far, Attrael is the only person with an inteligent post. Way to go guys.

Change the flagging from 15 minutes to an hour. I would love to see that. Then you could sit in your safe spot for a good hour, pondering if it was worth nailing that 2 month old miner, mining for his second cruiser. Hell, maybe 2 hours! that's even better.

Edit: Wait, I liked Paw Sandberg's post too.
