What do you think - is it good or is it bad?

Im fighting in gamma now,and i said "smoke break,im gonna take some screens",and sat near ring,having fun and watching...

But some ppl didnt let me do it,i was flying out again and again,asking to leave me alone...

Is it good?

In my opinion that's pretty lame and unsportsmanlike - but it's Freelancer... you can doom it, but you can't stop it. :-/

There are two kinds of afk-kills i think:

1. The one you talk about - Making a small pause, still sitting at the PC, probably chatting ingame, taking screens or sth else --> That's absolutely ok, i wouldn't shoot you.

2. The often one - "Parking" somewhere at Stations etc for long time, not sitting at the PC --> Being Idle
I do NOT like those people ^^ At evenings, Server"s full, and those people are blocking Slots which waiting people want to use to play...so when i see somebody idling around for a longer time I shoot'em down, no matter if friend or enemy...

i got a personal record for beeing killed when taking a smoke break
killed by EGO (some, not all; for ex Kovad or other experienced tho few of em dont lack the brains to understand this) 6 times in a row!
followed close by TC sumthing with 5 in a row
im not a stats freek so im not getting pissed by this
tho is one of the lamest thingies u can do in FL

this was the reason for which some of us (SLF) started to do this also since our arrival on HC
and i cant blame anyone

TDs ask AFK players to stay close as possible to the station or at least 2k distance - otherwise it is too complicated to check whether the player mentioned AFK or not

overall, TDs do not kill AFK players, except the do it too --> just like OEG mentioned before

greetz,

Banjo

PS: AFK killing is not honourable at all, but sorry to point that out, it is one possibility to provke the opponent without being banned or something comparable...

thats bully i didnt kill any of u while AFK, i even stop when not fighting back or standing near dock/station and still was killed myself by ur members.

it may be so i didnt say they were not
i said:
1: i didnt killed afk OEG but i had been killed by them (reffering to my person, me as in me, Korben)
2: SLF started this practice after tons of incidents like this, with SLF as victims.

LE: @Kovad yeah ur right, im trying my best to copy some of ur leadership in calling us LSF long before.

i saw it only one time, in theta...after your "EGO blabla.. EGO blabla.."

ps: maybe u have some problems with time-orientation. (that was earlier and that later) dunno Wink

maybe you didnt saw it
and i took offence in it cause was on Jolt
and on Jolt there is a clan called LSF
which happened to be as loved as OEG by us

Not really , if you go AFK stay docked , F1ing in general is cool ( see my Poll : http://www.freelancerserver.de/v2/topic,10716.html ) , thats the community here , live with it

I dont like bitching about AFK kills because if you are Away From Keyboard, you should not sit at your pc so it shouldnt matter at all!
If you take screenies etc. well it depends on your enemy if he is in the mood of letting you do that. That are simple gameplay mechanics.. much ado about nothing.
