Why should the rule be changed? You would need 2 posts to do the same no matter your method of travel.




It's a fleet rule for fleet combat. Nothing to do with storyline or realism.

It says jumping to hyperspace from the scene of combat needs to be done over 2 posts.

Since several groups are phasing out hyperspace, then they could get around the rule. It's a loophole.

They'll need to do it in 2 posts as well. It's all the same thing.

It's not how it reads, though. :)

Jumping to hyperspace from a scene of combat must be done over 2 posts, interspaced by the required 72 hours allotted for an enemy reply. This does not apply to jumping into combat, except in cases of groups sending reinforcements.

Maybe just

Leaving the scene of combat must be done over 2 posts, interspaced by the required 72 hours allotted for an enemy reply. This does not apply to jumping into combat, except in cases of groups sending reinforcements.

Well, if you play the "letter of the law" game then, yes, I concede the rules will always be lacking. Especially with new sciences being developed.

Therefore, I subscribe to the "spirit of the law" in applying rules.


But for those that cannot, then Gue's rewriting does work.

For the record Ahnk I argued against you finding a specific GC sign for biohazardous material, because I felt we would just use a galactic standard one. And yes I argued about it at the time when you originally posted it, because I didn't want you to try something similar to what I think you have planned. But I'll let it go, since without it I doubt you would have even joined this thread, and there is not point in wasting your work and time, along with everybody elses. And I think I can convince TNO that it wasn't GC behind the attack.

I told you that regardless of your choice of symbol (galactic standard or custom), it would be different from mine. And as I remembered, this arguement made sense to you and you dropped the issue.

True it would be different then yours, but what I be sure to realize that since I use galactic standard signs, the signs won't identify the ships as belonging to GC. And I guess I forgot that part of the argument. Much apologies.

Errrr.... they have Coalition registries, which identify them as GC ships.
