regardless, i still think it's ridiculously easy to steal from people.

I see how difficult it would to put this in place. And yet, at the same time, I think this is something that could really make this game an incredible experience. Here's some thoughts on how to overcome the issues listed above. Microphones (audio quality): Have voice-only, non-voice-only and mixed servers. Have an additional set of server rules revolving around voice. For example, people who's audio quality is a problem might have to be restricted to non-voice-only. I know voice changing software exists. If this were integrated into the game I tend to think it could overcome the identity issue. Here's an example open source project: https://github.com/symphonly/figaro

How about a dispatcher or radio operator or something? Someone to coordinate/help people on the radio channels. I think it could be a big help to newbs like me.

I've experienced this from both sides now. I'm still very new to this game. I'm still very new to this type of game in general. And yet, I've had my PDA stolen twice without me noticing, and I wasn't AFK. I think I was looking through the wiki both times. The one time I think they actually stripped me naked. I'm pretty sure all that happens when you're being pick pocketed is a little white message appears over your character saying it's happening. After having this happen to me a couple times, it made me think that this was all just part of the game. So then I decided to do it. And, I was surprised to see how easy it was. I think there should be a sound effect that gets played and maybe some sort of visual effect. Something that immediately draws your attention to what's happening. In real life it's very difficult to do pickpocket because you'll feel it. There should be something in the game that's as attention grabbing as someone sticking their had in your pocket in real life. And getting someone's clothes off... That needs to be impossible without their consent, unless they're incapacitated or something. Beyond that I think it's then too easy to use a PDA that doesn't belong to you. Like you should have to hack it's bio-metric authenticator or something. So, like I said, I'm still very new. Maybe I've missed something, or just not understanding. But this seems like a real problem. It has me constantly worried someone's gonna try to steal from me.

I wasn't, but then I don't really know what that is.

I didn't go out of my way to try to avoid responding to the administrator. I'm still new enough to all of this that I really didn't understand much about the admins running all of this. I all of a sudden had a red window pop up with someone named cheif engineer asking why I sabotaged gravity. I was still thinking this was all part of the game. When I decided to be naughty and sabotage gravity, I thought the worst that would happen was that I'd be thrown in jail by the security people. I was also really surprised at how easy it was to do it without anyone noticing. This game seems to encourage "bad behavior". I'm now starting to understand that there are limits to what sort of bad is acceptable and what isn't. That seems to be at the discretion of the people administrating this game. Being totally honest, as a total newcomer to a game of this type, I'm feeling a bit wronged here.

SS14 account username: Davidian1024 Ban reason: Sabotaged gravity. Date of ban: 2023-03-13 Length of ban: Appeal only? Events leading to the ban: I deconstructed the power stuff around the gravity generator to see if I could get gravity to turn off. Reason the ban should be removed: This game has seemed pretty chaotic to me. I'm still very new and I honestly didn't know if this is something I was actually expected to try to do. I won't try anything like this again.
