User blog:ThatGenericName/New BSCN Members Read This

NOTE: Page under construction, will be properly Formatted Soon, if not formatted.

Ok so, there's been suddenly a bunch of new members, that's why I'm creating this. So here are the key rules, etc. to remember for newbies.

Roleplay Rules
1): Do not Godmod. Godmodding is when you for example, make a ship with only 1 hull block, Say it flies, Has a death Lasors that can destroy everything, and has some fart gas (cough cough Khoi, jk) that makes it invisible. Here is a lighter example of Godmodding: you make a small vanilla destroyer than can survive 10 D-Day Cannon Rounds (see below) and take no damage, and has an Railgun that can kill a ship with a high toughness in 1 or 2 hits.

Other forms of Godmodding is Number-Spamming, where you take a massive 2km long ship that has 3 Million toughness, and say you make 300 of them a minute.

2): Respect other Navies. You can say you hate them in RP with RP characters, but don't be constantly doing it, or send a 20 minute long transmission saying you hate the navy your sending the transmission to or go and pee on their flag in front of their leaders.

3): Do not kill other people's RP characters without their permission. You are not allowed to kill someone's character without their permission.

4): Do not metagame. Keep your knowledge separate from your character's knowledge. For example, if Zerstorer hides his shoes inside a closet in a apartment no one else is in, Beowulf cannot go and take the shoes because Beowulf did not see, and therefore he has no knowledge of the action. You may have seen the post, but your character did not see the post about Zerstorer hiding his shoes. (Taken from the RoE.)

5): Capital ships. Capital ships cannot be killed/destroyed in one shot (first RP Post engaging it)

General Rules
1): Do not insult other people's ships, no matter how bad or ugly it is, respect the ship.

2): Respect other members, epically admins. For example, let's say I am a new member and I'm looking at Owl's ships, most of his ships are weak although cool looking. I do not just start spamming his wall/pages/navies saying his ships suck. And NEVER insult an admin as they have the power to ban you.

3):Never give people threats. (This rule is used IC unless it's painfully obvious it's extending OOC)

4): No Swearing or Racism. Racism will likely lead to Instaban while Uncensored swearing will lead to a warning.

Role play
1): Know the opponent ship's strength. If you have a vanilla ship with 2000 toughness and 3 46cm guns, and you are going up against a Hansa flying ship with over 3 million toughness and 200 2040mm guns, the Vanilla ship cannot kill the Hansa ship in only a few hits, It will take around 500 meanwhile the Hansa ship would probably be able to one shot the Vanilla ship. Same with SWC ship VS Hansa ship, as SWC Weapons and Armour are extremely Underpowered compared to the Hansa Weapons and Armour.

2): Surface ships are unlikely to hit flying ships flying over 2km.

3): You are allowed to increase the size of your flying ship up to 2x it's original size, but that will make the ship be impossible to have more than 1 ship active and in working order at the same time, you also can't be in process of making a second ship while there is a first ship active. This is to prevent 8km long ships (RP length) from flying around.

3): Space Stations. Space stations size can be increased to extreme sizes, if the size is reasonable according to the Navy's production capabilities and if it is logical for it to exist at that size, examples are the Overlord Command Station in UAC(10km in RP), and the Icarus Station in Prometheus(12km long in RP)
