saw that after the fact... none of this was in the code of conduct or the end user liences agreement when I signed up so how would I know unless i read the forums?

all i did was maneuver tool ships into the air and catch it with another ship that is physics enabled. nothing more if you try it you will see its that easy. in 0.23 NQ changed the way docking worked so that if you stand on a dynamic construct it will enable physics on anything maneuvered... that was an intended change and one announced in the patch notes outside the game. happy to... even though they also destroyed my ship and took it to pvp space from a safe zone and took 20mil worth of warp cells that I bought with ore mined from the ground.... am more than willing to compensate them and will still accept a ban if NQ sees it. had only done a single haul of ships out before I stopped and since this has been made aware of being not allowed had stopped. that all being said i only used the games tools everyone has access to and didnt do anything that was directly against the code of conduct or eula and wish that the forum post they had about not doing this was included in those other documents.. i even reported myself and the reproduction when this was all made apparent. place your blame on me and not NQ for allowing it to happen so easily and burying rules in a forum that isn't apart of the code of conduct or the ender user license agreements.

you could argue that i guess.... though in the case of taking ships to pvp space I was using the tools the devs gave everyone. They admitted to standing on mine ship to let it go into pvp space and then blowing it up. they used the tools built into the game as did I.... I could argue that they should have not left their ships on territory that i owned, if they had been on territory they owned the game tools would not allow it. so in either case if I am banned they should be also as technically they moved my ship without my knowledge or permission into PVP space when I left it in a safe zone.... and as retaliation arguably took my ship from safe space to pvp space to blow it up while admitting to it... the method or the circumstances shouldnt matter. but as said didnt intend to keep doing it and left the ship in safe space to be found. hopefully it will make NQ change the game mechanics to not allow either to happen and add a proper section in the COD and EULA. @Daphne though nobody can pinpoint in the COD or EULA where this type of gameplay is prohibited, its just assumptions and a post in a forum that is not tied to either the COD or EULA... as have looked multiple times since i was told this was not allowed. and the game explicitly allowed the actions that let me take ships off tiles I owned via tools in the game and allowed them to put my ship into pvp space... in both cases there were no exploits or bug. the maneuver tool changes were announced in 0.23 that standing on a dynamic construct will enable physics on it and not allow docking, was arguably using the tool as intended... if a player is to be punished for using the tools the devs created than thats a larger issue.... as it is they dont even enforce their own forum rules as a troll on the forums led to one of NQs employees getting doxxed(whtout a ban no less) and people are literally hurling profanities and trolling eachother on the forums without repercussions not trying to explain away these actions just providing feed for thought. I dont condone these actions and any and all ships taken out to pvp space using the in game tools took place over 24 hour period. once found out it was against the rules posted to the forums it was reported and I lstopped. honestly thought this made great salvaging gameplay and thought this could be a way to cleanup ships left abandoned. am sorry to those that I may have hurt, it was not the intent.

not sured how they did it before but the way it worked was to maneuver tool an object from a dynamic construct to enable physics on it then fly a ship under it to catch it all while physics are enabled. just using the tools the game has.... after looking at the tos and eula again I cannot find any mention of this behavior in it. I suggest NQ add this to the code of conduct people agree to at sign on to dissuade people from doing it further and not keep such information locked away in a forum post that people have to seek out to read.

The op is wrong or mistaken... it was parked near claimed territory but was not. all shipss that were impounded this way were left on unclaimed hexes that were then claimed or on hexes already owned by the guild. ops hands are also not clean... as they said they took mine ship from the safe zone to pvp space without the owner knowing to destroy it... so... guess we both should be banned... but again they never stated these things in the TOS or EULA which we both agreed to.... and both incidents were using in game tools without exploits... so? it's gameplay as designed by NQ. but as like said there are no hard feelings on my end as this is now out in the open and the ship is destroyed. hopefully nq will patch this sort of stuff along with adding these to the TOS and EULA vs a forum post that is not agreed to at login. now people know it can be done so hopefully nq fixes it.

Arrr! its sadly just useses the ingame tools. no exploit needed. didn't know this was against the rules and thought it was apart of normal gameplay as it wasn't in the EULA or TOS when I signed up and onto the game and only just found out about the forum post.... whioh should be a EULA and or in the TOS... a friend told me after I had impounded a few ships, then gave up. couldn't undock the ships... so just sorta left them there. so the big ship was stolen from kori and moddeded. adding a basket to it, and a killbox with lasers. Just fly up to a territory with a ship on it.... claim the territory.... maneuver tool ship above basket, fly to pvp space and pew pew ship... all using the in game tools as intended.... Surprised others haven't figured it out... was really easy and again uses in game tools without an exploit. After testing it a few times and finding out it wasn't allowed I gave up on it and reported the reproduction to NQ and left the ships floating in space for others to find. am glad its been destroyed actually. had never intended to use it again. and now people know it can be done so hope nq fixes it. if I get banned.... its okay guess its deserved. I'd hope not as during this didn't know it wasnt allowed and stopped when found out. please hurl your insults at me. I deserve it.
