  1. RDNt Cluster - Public Empyrion Server & Discord Rules!
  2.  
  3. Failure to read the rules will not be accepted as an excuse. In game server messages provide the location of the rules and you are expected to be familiar with and obey them. No exceptions.
  4.  
  5. Simple rules were created initially but people have been finding ways around them and making us add more as we went along. Sorry they are as long as they are now but our hand was forced and this is what we ended up with now.
  6.  
  7. Rules are subject to change at any time. Please visit the discussion group regularly to keep up to date on them.
  8.  
  9. GAMEPLAY RULES
  10.  
  11. 1. You can core a POI but take the core with you when you leave. DO NOT leave the core in POI. If you leave the core in the POI, your faction will receive a 48 hour ban. If a player sets a player core PRIVATE in a POI, they will receive a 48 hour ban. You have been warned.
  12.  
  13. 2. Keep your faction names appropriate for the general public. Faction names that are overly suggestive or offensive will be given a short time to change them to something more generally acceptable and will be deleted if the changes are not made in a timely manner. We may also ban the members of said faction for a period of time if we get resistance or arguments about this issue. Anyone who deems a faction name to be offensive can post about it in the Faction Names section of this Group. We will then review the faction names and take appropriate action. Again, admins’ decisions will be final.
  14.  
  15. 3. PVE: Do NOT steal another player’s backpack! Ever! From time to time, you may grab the wrong backpack by accident while you and your buddies are attacking POIs and that’s understandable. But give the stuff back to the player who owns it. Failure to return items from a backpack that is not yours is grounds for a 14 day ban (and a possible reset of your toon) on this server.
  16.  
  17. 4. Don’t ask the admins for other players stuff when they stop playing on our server. We are not an auction house. Harassing admins on this topic will earn you a warning and a possible 1 hour ban. As much as it may seem to be a waste, in reality it is just digital data. We have a bit bucket for that.
  18.  
  19. 5. PVE: Do not attack a POI that someone else is attacking. If they ask for your assistance, then you can assist them but if they do not, steer clear of the POI and let them do their thing. If you take another player’s loot, then you will face a temporary ban for the first offense of 48 hours. Second offence, one week, and finally you will be banned permanently for an additional attempt. Also, all loot will be returned to the original player. If we are not sure what was taken, then your bag contents will be cleaned out. This rule does not apply to pvp.
  20.  
  21. 6. PVE: Stay out of other factions or players bases and ships unless you are invited. If you see a ship or base that is marked public, that does not mean it is your to take, it was probably made public by mistake. If you want to leave a ship open for someone to take, rename the ship to FREE. Free ships are… free to take.
  22.  
  23. 7. No derogatory names on ships or designs. If it questionable, then it probably shouldn’t be created. The item that has broken this rule will be destroyed and a 48 hour ban will ensue.
  24.  
  25. 8. Farming Starter Planets – Farming of ‘Starter Planets’, their associated Moons and Asteroid fields by players Level 20 or above is no longer allowed. By level 20, players should easily be able to go to other systems for ores when needed. Starter planets include Akua, Ningues, Tallodar, Omicron, Sienna, & Roggery. No mining, killing, or picking stuff. You can place an AM on the planet if you wish but that is the only reason to be there. If you need assistance moving off the starter planets, ask in general, plenty of people will gladly move you to another planet. If not, then an admin will do so.
  26.  
  27. 9. Do NOT build a base within 100m of any POI. Doing so prevents other players from dismantling the whole POI and will not be allowed. Bases built within this distance will be destroyed by the admins and no compensation will be given.
  28.  
  29. 10. We do not interfere with faction politics. If your ship gets stolen or a faction member loots all your stuff, take it up with the faction leader. If it was the faction leader or the faction leader doesn’t care, then take it as a lesson learned. We will not bail you out of a situation that is faction related, please don’t ask.
  30.  
  31. PVP RULES
  32.  
  33. Overview:
  34. PVP is uniquely different from basic survival (PVE) because it allows players to attack each other. At the same time, we want all players to have the best experience possible on our server. Since there are all sorts of players with a wide variety of opinions as to what is acceptable behavior in PVP, we hesitate to make too many restrictive rules unless we feel they become necessary. Balancing player on player aggression with keeping it enjoyable for everyone is like balancing a B-B on a razor blade or like herding cats. But we are going to try.
  35.  
  36. 1. Be mature. Keeping a friendly gaming attitude is key. Don’t troll if you win and don’t bitch if you get killed. In any battle situation, the winner is entitled to the spoils (your base, ship and or backpack). Do NOT spawn camp! Repeatedly killing a defenseless player after you have won and taken his stuff will earn you a 24 hour ban.
  37.  
  38. 2. If you are killed and have no way to escape to recover, you can request admin assistance. If no admins are available, you may have to start fresh. That’s just part of the risk playing in PVP space. Under no circumstances will firing on an admin who is rendering assistance be allowed. Admins in PVP space will be using a specially painted emergency vehicle that is white with red crosses and will not be fired on at any time.
  39.  
  40. 3. Do not log out while in combat. Doing so will forfeit your ship and your bags and get you a 48 hour ban. Get print screens or video if you see this happen, without proof, we can’t do anything about it. Don’t come to us saying someone combat logged if you do not have proof, we can’t just ban someone solely on your word.
  41.  
  42. 4. You can take anything you want from a defeated player. It’s pvp, don’t whine about it when you are conquered. Don’t like it? Stay on the PVE side then.
  43.  
  44. 5. No hidden turrets in the water, in rock, in lava, anywhere that a player cannot shoot back at it.
  45. No digging under a base to core it.
  46.  
  47. DISCORD RULES
  48.  
  49. *Excess microphone spamming, text spamming, or poke spamming is not allowed.
  50. *All general rules apply here as in game.
  51. *No offensive, racist or vulgar user and/or channel names.
  52. *Any of these violations will result in a permanent ban.
  53. *Push to talk is required. We don’t want to hear your mom/wife/gf yelling at you in the background.
  54. *Please keep the Discord channels clear of general chat. Those channels are for providing assistance to players when they need help. We have plenty of channels available for general chat. Use them.
  55.  
  56. GENERAL RULES
  57.  
  58. These are the common knowledge items that have to be said cause there will be someone come along and say that they didn’t know they couldn’t do that…
  59.  
  60. 1. No cheating, hacking, glitching, scripts etc. Keep the game play fair and fun for everyone. If you find a bug in the game, exploiting it is cheating, which will get you banned. If you suspect someone of cheating, get print screens or some proof of your claims. If you do not have proof then there isn’t much we can do about it.
  61.  
  62. 2. This isn’t a PG server but don’t go overkill with excessive or vulgarities. Swearing and vulgar remarks in excess will not be tolerated and will result in a temporary or permanent ban. Racist remarks or comments will result in an immediate permanent ban from the server.
  63.  
  64. 3. No spamming in chat. Don’t make me ban you for a few hours to quiet you down. Talking is one thing, spamming is another. If you don’t know the difference, test it.
  65.  
  66. 4. No harassing anyone. If they tell you to leave them alone, then… leave them alone.
  67.  
  68. 5. No negative or derogatory behavior directed towards other members. Regardless of your age, we ask that you try and be mature and set a good example for gamers on the server. Comments or remarks resulting in, but not limited to, blatant racism or targeting another player or faction will not be tolerated. In other words, don’t be an asshat.
  69.  
  70. 6. Challenging RDNt Cluster staff can result in removal from the server via temporary ban or permanent ban. It is up to the admin on at that time to decide the course of action. Any questions or concerns should be brought up on the steam group. Do not air your dirty laundry in game. People play to have fun, not listen to drama.
  71.  
  72. 7. Impersonation of a server admin will result in being permanently banned from the server.
  73.  
  74. 8. Recruiting on our server for another server will get you perma-banned. No exceptions.
  75.  
  76. 9. Inappropriate player names are subject to a temporary ban until a rename occurs.
  77.  
  78. 10. No arguing or fighting in public channel. If you want to bitch at each other, do it in faction. If you are not in the same faction, seek an admin for any disputes, otherwise use some other forms of communications. We don’t want to hear it.
  79.  
  80. 11. No drama. If you have a problem with a decision or something that happened on the server, post it on our discussion forum here on the steam group. Include print screens if you can. Do not disrupt the other players in the game.
  81.  
  82. 12. RDNt Cluster is an English-speaking community. None English chat belongs in your faction channel. You can speak gibberish if you want there. We do not care what goes on in your faction chat. That is for your faction leader to handle. If you want to argue, curse, speak Latin, or whatever, that is on your faction.
  83.  
  84. 13. Admin’s word is always final. We reserve the right to remove any player causing problems on our servers. If you believe that there has been a mistake, you may appeal your ban by posting on our Steam group discussion. Causing a disruption on the server by arguing over the rules or admin’s actions will not be tolerated, please be warned.
  85.  
  86. 14. We are a game server, not a politics or religious discussion server. Keep your views on politics and religion to yourself. We don’t want to see it here.There plenty of other forums and websites for that on the web.
  87.  
  88. 15. Vulgar, suggestive, or foreign language names are not allowed. Be a little mature at least when you create your name. We will warn you to change it in game if we see you otherwise, We’ll just outright ban you. Also, if you name is in all Chinese or some other foreign language, how am I to respond to you if I cannot type the characters? 🙂 This is an English server, use English names please.
