Star Wars Server Update 9/15/17

First and foremost, we've been discussing the state of the server among the staffing positions. We've come to terms that in order to enact change for the better, radical choices have to be made.

First off, Casual Fridays will start becoming a thing. We planned this at the start but we realized that every day was basically Casual Friday. That being said, we're going to attempt to put the brakes on memey events during the week.

However, in order to do that we're going to need cooperation from the community. With our event changes we expect some behavior changes as well. Doing some self-reflecting we've noticed that a lot of negativity comes from the way players carry themselves, especially during events. Whether that be breaking PTS, not following orders, etc, we'll be cracking down on that hard.



Going off of that, we're going to be giving out privileges to certain ranks as well.

   - SGT+ will have the ability to promote players IN THEIR OWN BATTALION up to the rank of PVT.
   - Warrant Officer+ will have the ability to promote players IN THEIR OWN BATTALION up to the rank of LCPL. You must PM an admin member on discord with the name of who you promoted and to what rank, with the optional reasoning behind the promotion. Otherwise the promotion will not be recognized.
   - XO and Warrant Officer+ will have the ability to promote players IN THEIR OWN BATTALION up to the rank of CPL. You must PM a staff member on discord with the name of who you promoted and to what rank, with the optional reasoning behind the promotion. Otherwise the promotion will not be recognized.

Note: if you're going to promote someone we expect that you understand our promotion system/method.



We've also decided that we're going to define some commonly-accepted rules and their appropriate punishments.

   - Duping duel items/exploit: 2 days ban max
   - Running away from being arrested: double to triple the arrest time
   - Shooting back when shock is trying to arrest you: 10 minute jail
   - Dueling outside of pvp arena: arrestable
   - Suiciding/disconnecting while being arrested: Up to staff
   - Standing on a moving LAAT: 2 days ban
   - Bailing out glitch: Perma
   - Bailing out when not told to: 1 day max ban
   - Flares/shooting on the ship is arrestable, flare abuse will lead to a ban
   - Having a lightsaber out while not in a combat situation may lead to an arrest
- Using enemy weapons during events without permission will lead to a kick.
