A Few Potential Gripes.

Hi there,

This isn't a whine thread, I was just hoping for a little clarity on a few issues.

Firstly, the new kill rights. I was under the impression that they were supposed to show up in local. Before you say anything, yes, my overview settings are set up correctly. On the first day of the patch they were everywhere, now I am finding kill rights on people who never showed up on local. Is this working as intended? Or should I still be able to see them in local?

(As a side note, people have been seeing my killrights on me since the first day, even though they were claimed on that day. Now people recieve the statement "Killrights are no longer available" or something like that. That's probably something for a bug report rather than here, but I thought I'd just slide that in.)

Secondly, limited engagements. Now, I understand that if you aid someone in a limited engagement, you acquire a suspect flag. Very good. Now, why is it, that if you aid someone who is in a limited engagement against someone who already has a suspect flag, you get a suspect flag yourself? Surely, if you can shoot at them legally yourself, you should be able to help someone who is shooting at them? I hear you can agress them first and then aid your friend without the suspect flag being generated. Isn't that a little bit arbitrary? Wouldn't it be better if you just inherited their limited engagement flag, if everyone can shoot at that person anyway?

Working as intended, or....?

Anyway, that's pretty much it. As a side note, this expansion is awesome. That is all.

I am willing to bet all your concerns would melt away if you could have a Cat in your Captain's Quarters.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?
