RollinDutchMasters	Posted - 2004.12.19 18:13:00 - [1] How exactly is one supposed to effectively retaliate in 15 minutes before the sentries decide to protect an aggressor again? The flagging timer needs to be raised to 24 hours, and sentry guns need to stop attacking flagged individuals. As it stands, waiting out flagging is fun for neither the aggressor or the retaliatior. Increase the time so that it's no longer a reasonable option to simply hide and wait for the window of opportunity for a victim to retaliate to close. Eliminate sentry gun response so that its no longer mandatory to hide, which benefits NOONE. Originally by: Sochin CCP has provided you with the tools you need to avoid crime. You're just too lazy/stupid to use them.

RollinDutchMasters	Posted - 2004.12.20 02:33:00 - [3] Originally by: Neon Genesis I'ts a really pointless feature, no fun for anyone,, and just makes everything generally more boring cos thers more w8ing around doin nuthin. Yeah. The current system of flagging makes absolutely no sense and the only practical effect is to suck 15 minutes away from the attacker. The game mandates that you hide where revenge cannot possibly find you until 15 minutes elapse, then you're back under the loving care of the sentry guns. On the flip side, 15 minutes is nowhere near long enough to obtain a replacement ship and fittings and come back for revenge in most situations. Even if you can make it back while your target is flagged, they have to wait a few minutes at most to be free from legal repercussions again. Its a really idiotic system that encourages ganking and discourages people from ever having a chance at revenge. Originally by: Sochin CCP has provided you with the tools you need to avoid crime.

Great, except your ship is dead (thats why hes flagged, right?) and the replacement is a few jumps away. Now you have exactly 15 minutes from when the last shot was fired before your target can just warp to a station and sit under the sentries. You are not going to have time, you wouldnt have time if you started looking the second he safespotted. Originally by: Sochin CCP has provided you with the tools you need to avoid crime.

RollinDutchMasters	Posted - 2005.01.09 23:19:00 - [7] Originally by: Nafri nothing different for me, I have -5.0 or more then for nearly a year now Me too. The reason that I'm a bit annoyed is that people in apocs and ravens take potshots at me rather often, when I'm flying around in a frigate. I come back in a battleship and they sit in station for 10 minutes and then undock and target me. And sit there. Its very annoying. Flagging right now is completely worthless. Its worthless for the person who attacks because its 15 minutes to sit and read a paper or flip through the forums. For the unlucky individual who was attacked its worthless because there is absolutely no time to effectively retaliate. Fix both problems. Up the flagging time and allow flagged people the chance to put themselves in harm's way, instead of enforcing safespotting until the sentries randomly decide that youre worthy of being protected and not attacked (a bit odd that the change is so drastic from one to the other).

RollinDutchMasters	Posted - 2005.01.17 03:45:00 - [8] The last time I petitioned a problem with the sentry guns, I was told the logs showed nothing wrong, and that my ship could not be reimbursed. Since apparently the logs failed to show that my ship was not destroyed, I suspect that they will not be able to show anything helpful to your problem.
