There is a way to kill people in 1.0 space and outrun CONCORD without ever getting so much as a dent to your shields.
This issue has been bugging me since early retail.. the question ofcourse is, is this an exploit yes or no?
I asked this question in #Eve-Chaos a while ago, and TomB said  Quote:
No security level of space is supposed to be 100% safe, not even 1.0
Now if it is an exploit, what are you supposed to do?Kill someone, turn of warp and MWD and wait for CONCORD to kill you?Does that cleanse you of the label 'exploiter' in the GM's eyes?
I really do wish CCP would release a clear and cut statement on issues like this.There are so many people who's corpse would look good in my hangar (Agent Shield.)

Being a n00b in the game iŠm not sure. But i would think that it is ok to kill ppl in 1.0 space since you can.
You could fly a frigate with 4 launchers /w cruise missiles. But i dont know if concord owns you right after you launch them or if they do it after you hit the target.
(could allways place a small secure container next to a afk indy and then shoot the missiles at the can and hope that the splash dmg will kill the indy)
edit: spelling (not to good at english)

you can attack and kill anyone anywhere in eve. its concord/sentries that you worry about. in empire space, sentries will open fire on you and do some hefty damage. if you survive for a while, concord will show up and chase you.
there are some bugs, but they are all being looked into.

Depends on the method. If it involves preventing Concord from arriving (like the old -10.0 security status bug) then I'd say it's an exploit. If you're talking about the old "fire missiles and warp away before they hit" trick, I doubt it would be considered an exploit since people have known about it for months and no dev or GM has ever (to my knowledge) griped about it. I'd like to see it changed since I DO think it's a rather cheap tactic, but that's a different question.
PS: Everyone I know already knows that missiles don't count as an aggressive act until they actually hit, so I figure I'm not revealing any big secrets here. And if I am... hey, now the noobs know it too so they'll be ready for it.

Killings ok anywhere you can evade the police or sentryguns, but seems mining isn't.... "OMG, it's a miner, run away"...

CCP declared officially some time ago that killing in 1.0 space would *always* be considered an exploit, because 1.0 space *is* intended to be 100% safe, guaranteed.
Not that it surprises me that TomB said exactly the opposite. The number of issues on which CCP flatly contradicts itself is staggering. JIP-camping, for instance; which is quite definitely an exploit, and, *at the same time*, quite definitely is not.

Good post Ngarr. CCP's internal communications on issues like this definitely needs an overhaul. Too many cases of the left hand not knowing who the right hand is podkilling.

Ok guys, here's another offical GM statement.
I asked a GM if it was an exploit to kill people in 1.0 and get away, and he said it would be if they got a lot of complaints.
So killing people in 1.0 is ok until you kill like 6-7+, and they petition.

I always thought it went along these lines:
You can kill someone in 1.0 but if you manage to evade CONCORD it's an exploit?

That's priceless. Then they wonder why the petition queue is swamped all the time.
"It's not illegal unless people complain."
Imagine if this is how it worked in real life. Murder would always be the perfect crime. "Sorry, sir, there's really nothing we can do unless the victims file at least 5 complaints."

I have mixed feelings about this. The carebear in me says that it should not be possible to kill someone in 1.0 space without detruction of your own ship.
However last night a corpmate blew up an ore thief's ship in 1.0 and survived the CONCORD response. I can only say that I was glad and that this has changed my opinion. But I still believe that n00b killing must be stamped on with the full weight of the Atlas mountains.

Erm......just wanna say...why go to noob space to kill someone, you can come to 0.0 and kill me or anyone else here, or do you only want to engage on noobs coz you know you can win ?

I think the intention is that if you can do it and get away with it its ok.
The problem however has been that the game had so many unforseen glitches that were abused by players (ex the sec -10 glitch) that killing in 1.0 has become a touchy subjet.
I would for now, nomatter how legal your move is put that on the backburner untill the devs say they have fixed the problems.
Also, if you spot a newbie doing somthing stupid, give them a chance to get away, it will help the game population grow and as its a newbie infront of your guns you wont get too much value out of blowing him/her up anyways.

You can kill ppl in 1.0 space. However if you avoid or survive the concord response in any way, you have exploited.

Ofcourse one can kill in 1.0 sec sys, just need alot of fast dealing firepower, but if you do..expect CONCORD coming to get you... Imo...if one attack someone else which they arent in war with(/or other exception), they shouldnŠt be allowed to dock, nor jump till CONCORD got em  .

They used to say that (I think they said it to Molly, among others) because they were confident that nobody COULD get away with it. They were wrong; they beefed up Concord enormously, and they were still wrong; they threw out tech.3 sentry guns, and they were STILL wrong. So now they just say you're not allowed to kill people in 1.0 space.
Or at least, some of them do. It's not like CCP just has one opinion on a subject.

First of all, why on earth isn't it just an offense to launch a weapon? If you swing a fist at someone and miss it's still an offense...
Fire an fof missile? too bad for you, you're gonna die. Perhaps make missiles lose their lock if you warp away, too...
Also we NEED a recharge time for the warp imo, eg 10 seconds after warp-in, enough time for concord to warp in (and people already there) and to scramble the hell outta you... No more warp-warp-warp-warp repeat till you're safe bull... Your means against this should be anti-scrambler mods, and concord in 1.0 should have invinsible warp-scramble ability and 0.8 and above should perhaps be "possible" with super mods but "chance" says that you won't (failed anti-scramle)...
as for mwd, concord could just be able to keep up with you or warp in more troops at your vector... actually, just remove mwd completely... lame mod anyway... or make only 1 fitable, or make the bloody mass be involved in how fast you can go, so no more 20km/sec...
and increase the logout-time in space to 5 mins, that oughta do the trick...
anything else?

Fact: I have been warned for surviving CONCORD (jumping away, being targetjammed) in 1.0.
Fact: GM and Polaris told me, that one is not suppose to survive any act of agression in 1.0 and that doing so is an exploit.
Conclusion: You are allowed to attack in 1.0, but you have to lose your ship after doing so.
EOD (for me).

Just to clarify.
I was told the same thing as molly.
So really you have to loss you ship if you attack them.
But i think if you continue doing it and just loose the figate as soon as they get a few moans form carebares they will give you a warning.

Really?
IMO 100% safe is not a good idea. Already 1.0 space is contains people who take no responsibility for their actions. If you can talk as much smack and behave as lame as you want without others being able to kill you something is wrong imho.

Makes sense; but even that position won't hold against people who make suicide alts in kestrels - or even, just pop themselves in a kestrel - because losing one crappy frigate and a few missiles isn't doing them any damage to speak of. So I suspect even that will go by the boards in time. I really don't understand why they didn't just auto-disable all weapons in 1.0 space; if launching an attack carried an absolute certain guarantee of death, no character would ever do so, so there's no point giving them the opportunity.
(Note: I said no *character*, not no player. This is an RPG, after all - no player would ever thump someone IRL if to do so guaranteed their instant death, and to the character, the Eve universe IS irl.)

That can't be. Until Concord throws themselves in front of missiles or gunfire, killing people in 1.0 space should be allowed. In most cases it may be a suicide mission as Concord and/or sentries catch up with their target, but that's the way it is.

Fred0 there is plenty of space where you have plenty of opportunity to smack back with other than harsh language... and frankly if you can't take the heat - ignore it, or leave.

If 1.0 space was intended to be 100% Absolutely Inviolate...
Why bother letting people fire weapons there if they're not in a war?
It'd be something a Developer would have to state clearly. Not a GM interpretting via his personal furcovered feelings. And damn sure not a Polaris. There are logic errors there.
Why have the ability to attack unprovoked in 1.0 space if you're not meant to be able to do it?
Why expect someone not to try to get away from Concord after committing a crime? Why expect them to sit there and die?
Definately the realm of Official Word Directly From A Developer. It's too stupid and illogical not to believe that the GM is misinterpretting something.
