Speeding Fines?

[_mitchlel]

They fine you for reckless flying. They fine you for tresspassing. They fine you for firing in a no-fire zone, for pad loitering for too long, for carrying illegal goods, for jettisoning cargo in the wrong areas...

And yet they don't fine you for speeding.

Excuse me?

[Agent J]

Speeding never killed anyone.

It's suddenly coming to a stop that gets you.

I feel the 100m/s is too restrictive. And when piloting an non upgraded large ship im tired of getting fines just comming in to frikken land.

If you are flying a large ship at 105mps and a Sidewinder comes at you at 99mps and you have shields and the Sidewinder does not and you both colide then the Sidewinder will go pop and so will your ship after the Station's Defences show you what it is like to murder someone. You now get the added bonus of heading to the local Cop shop and also having to rebuy your ship.

Effectively what I have just said is people used to gank inside and outside of Station's. They would just fly a ship at you with no shields and their ship would get destroyed when they collided, then the Station opened up on you and it was 'Welcome to the rebuy screen'. You would get all so terribly salty and the ganker would be sitting in a puddle of his own urine as he cant stop laughing.

This is why speed is there is a restricted speed of 100mps

Well im sure that 100 credit fine will keep gankers from doing it anyway and tanking the station while they run away.

Don't worry. I get what you are saying. The whole system needs another overall. Pvpers admit that this new system does nothing to deter them.

Next up...demerit points!

I guess a fine for speed would just be to frustrating for new players

this.
The risk of speeding isn't a fine, it is if you hit someone while speeding, you will get a fine. if you kill them, the station kills you.

Then the Sidewinder better GTFO of the way. I just bought and fit a Type 9 and it handles just like the Titanic. I get lined up for that mail slot and you better let me ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ through because that train has no brakes.

Damn NPCs always trying to beat me to the entrance and then get mad when they clip me.

There is no speeding fine.

How it works is if you have a "Speeding" warning, you are liable for any damage or reckless flying impacts. If you are under 100M/S and a Sidewinder smashes into you and explodes, there is no fine or retribution.

Really? Nice to know. Still waiting on demerit points...

You can get Demerits if you kill friendly power play ships.

Dont worry, the dumb as fk NPC's never move out of the way, you always get told to make way for larger vehicles exiting the station, the thing is, when you are half way through in an Anaconda or larger ship, the NPC's will always try to go through. Sideswipe the gimps at 99mps and its funny. I will do that to any CMDR that gets in the way when i am in the slot as well. If they want to try and be funny, i will do that then make it funny. When your Credits are in the Billions then you can afford the rebuys, its a PITA, but its affordable.

Well whoever thought it was a good idea to allow large and small ships alike to go through the same small rectangular slot on stations without some type of air traffic control was a complete and utter moron.

I was coming in to dock at a station in my Clipper and another player in a T9 was coming out. There was nothing either of us could do except wait for the inevitable collision and getting stuck on each other in the slot like two horny ships trying to mount one another.

We both were pretty experienced pilots so we understood there was nothing that could be done to avoid the collision. We did our best, sent an apology in chat and went about our way.

The AI tries to give way but even then its impossible to always avoid collisions.

You "experienced players" just could have payed attention to the green/red lights to see what side is for entrance / exit. Or listen to the high traffic warning voice
