Thread: So... you cant /setpermission ban... how do we prevent enemy from using shuttles?
DISH TURRETS!
stick about 4 of these babies near your shuttle...No more badguys!
Killing people while loading is an exploit. I would not advise you to do this, if you want to hold to your account.

I have to say I disagree with this post when it comes to player cities. The Imperial Guard built a city in south Lok, about 2k out from the Imperial Outpost. We have an extensive array of faction bases down there, and the LAST thing we are going to allow is rebels using our cloning and shuttle systems to attack our own base!
Our current plan? Drop the cloning and shuttle back to back, then place a forward outpost facing each structure so that the covert detector covers the "door" to each (faction bases have a relatively small footprint UNTIL you place them, so this is doable). Then the entire complex will be surrounded with a ring of tactical bases.
We will be giving all rebels on our server fair warning, and will be happy to get /consents to pull rebels who clone at our city out of the facility. However, we are not willing to leave ourselves completely open to attack, period. Our only option is to defend our facilities.

If it's factional confrontation that concerns you, this is a simple matter. Throw down some minefields and turrets along with a Covert Factional Scanner. They are toast before they finish loading, 24/7. Or can this not be done for some reason?
You probably haven't noticed in the list of TC changes, there is a line:
- DECLARED players will be changed to COVERT when traveling until 60 seconds after arriving at their destination.
Now I don't know whether a Dish turret will immediately set you back to OVERT on arrival (It may) but then this is probably an 'exploit' and will be removed ASAP.
So yeah, it'll be a problem.
Kade, I have a question. If someone isn't registered to clone somewhere, and your city is the closest center, will they have a choice of cloning somewhere else? Last time I died on a planet I wasn't registered on, the only choice I got was for the closest center. If your is, will they also get a choice for the closest non-player city?
If not, they could get stuck in a loop of being killed and respawning in your death trap...
Not your problem, but I'm curious

Get a clue, there is a 60 second grace period for shuttle loads and clones coming so I doubt this plan will work very well. What exactly is the point of putting all these bases where they can't be attacked anyhow? You shouldn't be allowed to keep what you can't defend.

Yeah, a couple of us were looking at our cloning center when we put it down.
We turned to each other and went.... "Yeah, dish turrets would be bad."

Lol. First of all, the sixty seconds is NOT a grace period. During the sixty seconds you are COVERT. Covert can be broken by covert detectors
Beyond that, our bases are very attackable, but we dont feel a particular obligation to provide cloning and shuttle services to rebel infidels. We have successfully defended against massive rebel attacks in the past and will continue to do so.
Should a rebel be unfortunate enough not to bind AND be that far south, they would indeed be stuck in the cloning center. Being the courteous imperials that we are we would allow them to suicide on our defenses and we would have them /consent to drag them out. The Imperial Outpost cloning center is only 2k away. We would hope that most rebels would have better sense than to get that far south uncloned, esp on Lok
NO! Dish turrets would be good! It's not an exploit. It's not illegal or anything. It happens every day. And if yove ever been overt, you've been on BOTH sides of it....but whatever lets u sleep at night.
If SoE dosent provide you a method to defend your town...use the system to do it yourself. You wont get banned, or sued or anything like that...wort case scenerio...and I'm not saying this is wrong...is they would ask you to pick them up.
You can bet your sweet bottom it's how we'll be defending our shuttleport if the need arises.
