Perhaps the whole idea is to persuade miners to carry guns/ammo/armour as otherwise you might not be able get to & loot the ship.
This then means there is the temptation to hunt a bit while mining. (decay)
If only the miner who spawned it could loot it, all they would need to do would be lead the bots away from the ship by dying once or twice, and then loot the ship. No ammo used, or decay incurred.
If you know all it takes is someone else to come along and loot it while you are running back to it after dying, you run to it, stop when it's in sight, put your armour on, start those guns blazing, shoot the bots, and loot it. MA get decay.
Personally, if I found a ship not through mining, i would wait a bit, to see if anyone turns up, finder in hand. |
Well,
IMHO, it's a bit like seeing a car sitting on the street, motor runing, windows opens,
If you think taking the ship is fair, then I'd guess taking the car is fair. Now, not faulting you or anyone at all. It just seems that the rules in real life don't apply here, and I'm sure that most should not, but common politness should. Just as I would not take a persons car, I'd not take their ship, afterall, the only way it is there is a miner found it, not like rocks, dung, or fruit laying on the ground. The miner droped a bomb or a probe. That cost peds, there was decay on his finder, and there will be ammo and decay on killing the bots. I have to agree, it's like damage with a hunter, they don't want someone running up and stealing a kill, same should apply here.
Now with that being said, some places the rules really don't apply...i.e. PVP area, there about the only rule I follow is I don't try to kill anyone killing a mob, as soons as they are done, I shoot. Now, if I found a ship in PVP, I'd take it, just like I'd try to take the miner. Hell, I'm a miner myself, when I go into PVP I expect to die. And, lol, most of the time I get my expections....
So, just like to see common sense and politness in most areas of the game..
