CommodoreWesley Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Rules of Engagement Against Other Players for the Dutch Antilles Squadron For Dutch Antilles Squadron members that are sailing alone, you are responsible for your own ship, including its loss to hostile actions. If contact is made with a hostile ship or ships in territorial, international or hostile waters, the single captain is free to make the decision to either engage the enemy ship or not. For Dutch Antilles Squadron members that are sailing in a fleet for the Dutch Antilles Squadron, the following rules are enforced: Rules of Engagement of single or lone players. Singles players should not be attacked with a superior force if they are outside of Dutch territorial waters. [As of this time, Dutch Territorial Waters is the surrounding waters of Oranjestad and Fort Baai, the surrounding waters of Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao and Las Avas.] Hostile single players in International or Hostile Waters can only be attacked if They are shadowing or scouting the fleet. Have an AI fleet sailing under their command that merits them to have a significantly higher battle rating than their base ship, and is of similar rating to the fleet. If hostile player is in Dutch Territorial Waters, the player will first be notified about this. This warning can be from a private PM to the player, but most commonly will be said in the battle instance. If the player obliges to leave, then he should be allowed to escape, and should be escorted out of Dutch Territorial Waters. If the player resists leaving, being escorted, or begins to behave in an rude and/or unrespectable manner, then the fleet commander can use his or her judgement against the hostile player, which can be dismasting, sinking, or capturing. Name calling and swearing however should not used to attack the other player. If a lone player joins an opposing faction in a naval battle which the AI is currently being engaged by the fleet, he will be given the chance to leave the battle. If he or she stays and/or fights even after being warned, then it is permitted for the enemy player to be attacked. The only time hostile ships are permitted into Dutch territorial waters is if they are below the rank of lieutenant, are not scouting, and are not attacking other players. If they attack players that are larger than them, they will be warned. If the hostile player does not leave or fires his or her guns at any ship, they will be fired on. Rules of Engagement of Fleets. A Hostile fleet can be engaged in territorial, international and hostile waters. Hostile fleet should be contacted before the engagement begins. The Dutch Antilles fleet does not have to state the purpose of their location or campaign to the enemy. Honors of war should be respected. Truces, if called by the hostile fleet, should be respected and decided by the judgement of the leading commander and/or majority of the fleet. If members of the Dutch Antilles Squadron are in an multinational fleet, then the rules of engagement are decided by the leading commander or majority. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBoiteux Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) +1. Really great RoE From a french captain. Can I freely sail through the dutch waters, if I introduced myself as a non-hostile explorer (whatever my rank is) ? I guess the situation could be exploited...

CommodoreWesley Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 I will make edits to it, just want to compile them first before changing the rules currently posted. If you claim that you are an explorer, you are free to pass, however, you may be possibly be followed or shadowed by a Dutch Antilles Squadron member, just to make your intentions to be honorable. The Rules of Engagement are a set of rules that members of the Dutch Antilles Squadron follow when they attack other players. If a Dutch Antilles Squadron member is attacked, they have every right and reason to defend themselves even if by use of superior numbers or firepower. The Rules have been posted on the forums largely to allow players to be aware of our policies and missions. These are largely only posted for people not worry about being ganked by us or to understand the reasons why we attacked them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouse of war Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I would like the English (and Welsh) to have a similar set of rules Does anyone know if the Americans have a similar set of RoE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macjimm Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 This is very encouraging. After reading so much of the discussions about combat it is easy to think that NA is only about fighting and how fast we can travel to the next fight. It is this type of detail to game play that makes the open world interesting. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can act according to your own moral standards. The DAS will always try to uphold these above mentioned ROE. On a personal note, i dont know how to behave when someone is griefing you, maybe open a topic or get some friends in fast ships to get rid of him?

If Blazex has lied and it's proved then he should be punished... however painting all the french players with the same brush is very unfair in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleski Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Then normal when im in frigate and i will se Snow (propabryl trader) players then i can not atack 1vs1 to make profit with hes cargo? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Bubbles Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hi Ragnar, Dont worry about this issue with that French player, this was untrue and is already closed down. As for attacking other players: feel free to profit from a trader who takes her/his chances in the open world. No need for a chase with 6 ppl on a lonely snow tho... Grtzzz Bubbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marecek05 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Come on Ragnar, you know that not every french player is the same. That particular post was at best fishy. In regards to getting jumped, i was jumped by 2 us snows in my trader snow and lost 20k worth of stuff. I got angry and went off for the day, but it was all fairplay. I risked by going through shorter route and they chased me well (wasnt able to force them to make mistake)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marecek05 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Hi marecek Whats yours nick in game? I will help you to get better ship and make more xp if you want I am Marek right now, easier to pronounce on teamspeak. I am always for PVP, although right now I am trying to focus on crafting and trading more this build. But seeing that I am unlucky in rolls and seem not able to learn how to craft any advanced designs, I might just go to fighting :-).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
