Attack, obviously. If you're overt and engaged in combat, you know what's coming.



I'm still of the opinion they need to make entry points into Deep Space totally random, or at least random within a 1500 meter sphere. It wouldn't be a perfect defense against load campers, but damn it would help.

If they are already engaged in combat...then that person is attacking your faction anyway....just an NPC. ATTACK!

As far as Overts in any systems other than DS, too bad. Whether factioning, sitting at a station, performing a mission or whatever we consider them all hostile targets.






So even sitting at a space station in normal space attempting to land is fair game?

I'm not sure what game you are playing, but last I checked...the game I was in,envolved an Imperial goverment and rebel forces. Neither side would think twice about downing opposition ships at a spaceport.

If your overt, you shouldnt be "sitting" anywhere


Seriously the time i am the MOST worried, is when i exit deepspace to land.
No droid commands, all gone. And im most certainly not going to sit at a space station to redo them.

Exit deepspace = land immediatly.

Its exiting DS to land is what worries me most. Infact i get so edgy, one time i came accros a teir 1 or 2 overt flyer killing teir 1 spawns. Which i didnt notice tell after the fact. I immediatly locked and fired.

In the end, i wasted three MKII IR's on a teir 1 newbie, because i was nervous when landing.

Yes even sitting at a station is fair game. Especially when my guildmates and I have spent three hours in deep space waiting for someone to show and no one does. We are so keyed up and we want to shoot someone. So if you are overt and sitting at a station count on getting jumped. A kill is a kill.

This game is quite a bit different than Mech 4 in that your aren't in a bunch of rooms or servers with only combatants. You have non-combatants around and nonparticipating players as well. (Let me state that while my guild is ready to shoot any hostile player we are appalled at those who destroy unarmed civillian freighters and transports. Bad Form!) Also while playing multiplayer Mech 4 you would have a much more limited amount of space to hunt around in for a target. Just entering the room almost garunteed combat and many of the rooms could post conditions on their titles. (I.E. Heat enabled, no legging) There's no way to do that in JTL. If you and some opponentwants to work out conditions in advance that's fine but don't be surprised if a third party shows up and doesn't care. This happened to me once. A rebel player in an X-wing had been killing the ISD. An Imp in an Oppresser came in just wanting to get some faction. They agreed to let each other alone. I came in and blasted the Oppresser, whose pilot got upset because he thought I was the other guy and broke his agreement. There is no way to bind every possible opponent in JTL to a set rules of engagement. SOme may want to play your way, others will not, so be prepared every time you take that overt tag. Oh, we also don't have Mechwarrior's Ares Conventions either. Just as well, the Empire wouldn't follow them anyways 8).

Sounds like everyone here is hypering out of deepspace to exit. I myself just run straight at the first set of gunboats, stop, and fire. Saves me time flying back to a station, and removes my overt status.

PvP space combat lasts mere seconds from the time one player spots the other. If you declare PvP you are fair game where ever you are and whatever you are doing.


Everyone of my targeting buttons do whatever they are originaly supposed to do then tries to target the closest enemy player. So if you are in range of me you are the only target on my screen. I am either going to attack you ar try to run from you (mostly I'll attack, why not it's only a game). If your just sitting there or being obliviouse to my pressence then consider your destruction as a lesson learned.

Holy crap, I'm not even master pilot yet, and I say one thing and BOOM! Tough Actin' Tanactin tries to rant me like I'm some sort of funky fungus. I honestly can't say what the load time is in deepspace, I just like making conversations hot! Anyways, I'm almost master and then let the Deepspace pvp commence! heh, destroying a tier 1 ship cause it was overt, classic.....simply classic.

Yeah i felt bad about it. But really, you see a threat, you react. If you stop to think, you have a highly likelyhood of ending up dead.

See a overt player after hitting the Z key, its time to "let go your conscious self and act on instinct".

Hence why i said in one of my previous posts, that i "TRY NOT to load kill". Ive had a couple occasions where by the time my concious self had anayalzd what i was seeing, i had already manuvered and my finger was half way down on the trigger. By that time i was too late.

Anyway that teir 1 flier i openly admitted a long time ago. Starkitten gave me a good verbal beating for it

So you killed Starkitten? Shame! FOR SHAME! hehe. But I understand the instincts thing, When mining I've had noobs come up to me and ask me what I was doing with a blasterbolt to the aft section of the ship, I'll ignite boosters, do a quick turn around in my Tie Interceptor (Ya, this happend while I was tier 3) and shot a few rounds across his nose to hear "BEEP BEEP!" indicating it was an invalid target....reflexes *twitch* their a &**(#$^ (rhymes with twitch)

Oh no. She's on starsider. Im on bria. We have a small community here. The verbal beating was on the forums

Come publish 20 though, i might just transfer my toon to starsider. So i might get a crack at her then. Although from what ive heard, i have no dillusions about being able to turn her awing into a smoldering space heap
