I'm not sure with the changes so I'm asking.

If I go to low sec and wait in a belt then PVP'ers engages me and by some miracle I win will they be now free to hunt me for 30 days or just the normal aggression timer?

Or is just flipping a can in hi sec then fly around flashy a way to go without the 30 day free for all?

if they engage you then no they don't have a "kill you" pass for 30 days.

Maybe not drinking but rather exercising their knowledge of these mechanics Twisted

But here, try this.

Q1) As I understand it, a player is not given killrights unless they do not shoot back. If you fire your guns at an enemy, no kill rights are generated and "legal" combat only persists with the combat timers.

Q2) Can-flipping now gives you a "suspect flag" (which you can read more on through the link above). This means that for 15 minutes, anybody can shoot at you. If you shoot at someone else, and they do not shoot back, they still get kill rights on you.

(1) The person you fought off and killed doesn't have a free pass to kill you as they attacked you. They will have a 'suspect' flag that mean anyone can engage them without issue for the next 15mins. You will however have a Limited Engagement flag with them meaning that within the next 5 mins you are both free to attack each other.

(2) If you flip a can you will get a 'suspect' flag yourself and will be freely engagable by anyone for 15 mins.


You only get killrights if the victim didn't fight back and got killed. These new killrights cane then be sold or passed onto anyone you see fit.... Welcome to the age of the bounty hunters.

That is the Way, the Tao.

Balance is everything.

Maybe....but since I dont PVP much the incentive to keep up on the latest is low which is why I am asking instead of advising...if I advise on pvp you're certainly gonna die.
