Well for one it's not guaranteed of being coded in. As of right now it is a potential idea.

.....which some of us are strongly opposed to. Launching should be an active action (ie the player needs to be online to perform it) except when it is forced by a successful bust.

you guys are failing to notice the risk in doin this, it leaves a fleet sitting there offline, its not all positives to this. and since it has a downside i think this really needs to be looked at closely, i mean its not all profit

If you have a good op force than you listen to everything he says. So you do exactly what he wants you to. If anything Lotus had less control when he booted us as he couldn't make us move.

why would you need to move when you are sitting in a tunnel with mines? dont pretend like it was in a neutral galaxy where anyone could just come and hit them.

Without going into to much detail (because I'm on the committee and I was involved in the debate), I think this is a lot more complicated than just what appears. I think it's a great tactic, I gave Lotus mad props for using it against us--it was an entirely new tactic and it worked pretty well. However, after the comittee debated it, the problem that strikes me is: it took Lotus leaving the alliance to do this to accomplish it. If Lotus had an option to kick the entire alliance off at a given moment and did that, I'd have no problem. However, because he had to leave the alliance and boot off the AoC members to gain this advantage---I feel it's in the ballpark of a loophole. If HK was able to control my ship and get me to fire on a level 70, I'd be upset. However, I move my ship IS and I'm online to control my ship. While Lotus has NOTHING but the alliances best interest at heart, I still think because of the steps he needed to take that that move wasn't intended. However, I think it's safe to publicize that Lotus received NO ban for this as the committee was able to understand the entire aspect of the situation.

so if it was not the alliance leader and the person who kicked didnt rejoin the alliance for 24 hours per say, its a legit tactic?

That is under discussion. Personally I do not agree with anyone having any kind of active control of an allied ship. Period.

As Ard just posted---we're debating this because it could fall under the arranged kill offense. When we've discussed it more, the committee will make a statement on the numerous aspects of this debate. Please be patient.
