Do any of you play by an "honor code"?

[CaptSolo]

Indeed I do.

Any chance of some details?

I don't engage in piracy, bounty hunting, or assassinations. I do have a heavily modified, light version of Random Hits OXP but only for immersion and trading opportunities.

When attacked I prefer to discourage the attacker rather than destroy them. Kill count is not important to me.

I will come to the defense of traders but I do not assist Galcop.

I help clean ships & police that are being attacked and may also help an offender that's attacked by a fugitive.

Offender ships that are fighting clean ships are fair game to me.
I always try to scoop escape pods and never shoot them (with one exception) .

Dropping cargo to bribe attackers is something I refuse to do.
If a ship i'm fighting with does drop cargo + sends a surrender message I'll stop attacking them.
Incase they hit me later, they lost their chance and will die.

I do use RH but only take missions I like the reasoning for.

Have you tried adding in  Refugee Adder? It is more poignant with the  Broadcast Comms MFD too!

Looks very interesting, does it currently do more then adding flavor ?

It gives you ethical options.

They are not yet fully realised - they have as yet no AI for following you / you can't offer to escort them to safety. Or for supplying food/textiles/fuel/money/SW Economy water/SW Economy medicine/SW Economy Oxygen.

DGill was good enough to send me an example AI, but I've yet to finish playtesting it - or work out the BCC dialogue for the escort offer.


I've moaned/wittered on about all this at length here:  Refugee Adder (see "Musings") and see the various links here:  Ethics

Do you have any ideas?

[Lone_Wolf]

Pilots should have options.

Escorting the adder should be one of them, perhaps use code from  Escort Contracts OXP ?


The astronaut stuff seems to require green status and possibly need a switch to EVA mode .

Depending on SW economy for the goods feels to restrictive .

How about a new missile-like item , Rescue Pod ?
Instead of explosives its payload would be remlock masks, water canteens and such .
It would be fired and targeted like a missile.
