Hi new to game. question if i enable my safety settings to yellow do i get any kind of criminal suspect flag against me? or do i actually need to commit an offence first before i get any kind of flag and timer?

thanks

You need to take an action, to pick up a flag.

Changing your safety setting isn't an action.

Woo! CSM XI!

yellow safety lets you do things that incur a suspect timer (steal loot from other people's wrecks, shoot MTUs/etc.) but it prevents you from doing anything that will make CONCORD come.

It doesn't automatically give you a suspect flag, it LETS you do things that give a suspect flag.

No flag from changing your safety to yellow or any other color, it''s what you do after that will get you a flag Pirate

Setting to yellow means you cannot commit a "concordable" offence (firing illegally on another player in hisec), but you can commit Suspect level offences (stealing from a jetcan) that will make you a valid target for other players but not concord. I suggest yellow if you want to be able to have some fun but don;t want to accidentally lose your ship to concord by accident :)

Bear in mind that even if you set your safety setting to "green" it will not stop other players from setting their safety to "red" and shooting you.

How did you Veterans start?
