Topic: KCW_Why are neutral hexes going down in DVs with a loss??

[Lepton]

When I lose a mission in a neutral hex the DV goes down.  Didn't this used to be considered a bug?  Now it's a feature??  A little tempting for the territorial houses, don't you think?

Takes about the same amount of time to kill the enemy ships than just run off the map. Besides, you get a loss for disengaging and it ruins your glicko.

With more careful planning next server, we can use a mission pack that allows for the use of the '9th' race and solve neutral hex isssues in that fashion or for this server, afaik, the Mirak race isnt being used and they could have been the neutral space... You would be required to win in that circumstance.

As it is.... not that big of a deal. A lot of this is still left to the honor system. Most of us are trustworthy... Its been a long time since I've run around the map using Ph4's on my ship.

That's just the way it is, think about it carefully.

We may be able to get around it but it will require a whole new mission set and artifex definitions.
