Greetings!
Ho there! Judging by the hopeful gleam of your freshly polished goggles and cocksure swagger, I can tell you're itching to join in all this aeronautical palaver that's becoming quite the trend with the youthful folk nowadays. Well, you might have the ship and the know-how to fly her, but do you have the wherewithal to act like a strider of the skies? Well in case you don't, here's a few handy Do's and Don'ts that us lot dubbed "The old farts" have adhered to for many years among the great open skies!
So without too much further blabbering...
Do's!
Do;
  • Ask politely if you can approach a fellow Captain's vessel or shipyard, they may assume you have the worst intentions otherwise!

  • Announce yourself upon arriving at smaller occupied islands. Simply stand towards the aft of your ship, cup your hands to your mouth and shout a hearty greeting! Or, as you young vagabonds have termed it... "Say everything in all caps!"

  • Be polite if others approach you. If folk wish to trade, either politely decline or reach an amenable agreement at your discretion. Don't be so harsh as to tell them, in your vernacular to...Ah hem... "♥♥♥♥ off". People don't often take kindly to disrespect!

  • Keep to courses that don't bring yourself within engagement range of another ship in flight without first announcing your intentions to those on board. They might be too cautious and adopt a "Shoot first" policy!
Don'ts!
Don't;
  • Shoot at those you see without prior verbal engagement, be that with pistols or cannons! It's poor form and will certainly guarantee you will be shunned by the rest of civilised society. At worst, it could turn on your head and you might find yourself stranded atop a barren island with a hole in your gut!

  • Engage in acts of piracy. Be that armed robbery, the theft of another's vessel or simply the deplorable act of destroying a vessel for the sheer fun of it. If you simply must get off whatever island you might find yourself desperate to be away from, try and ask passing Captains politely if you can have a lift to the next island, or attempt to work out a trade.

  • Don't enter the envelope of another Captain's shipyard field without permission. If you believe a ship is abandoned, wait a short while, holler around the island and make doubly certain it doesn't belong to anyone before engaging in the act of maritime salvage.

  • Consequently, you shouldn't obstruct people's access to caches of knowledge. If you do dock your ship close to one, avoid adopting a shoot-first methodology until you're sure of their intentions, many people just want to piece together whatever knowledge they can find into something useful!

  • And above all: Don't be rude to those that follow in your footsteps! The gleam in your goggles might fade chap, but there'll be others with the shine still rampant. Teach them our best virtues, not chase them off with barbaric and uncivilised acts. We were all new to the skies at one point or the other and we all had questions and concerns about the act of sailing the open skies. We will endeavour to treat you with respect, so we expect you to treat those that come after you with the same respect we afforded you, so the wind can uplift their sails as much as we shall try to uplift yours.
Farewell!
Hopefully, with this little list in mind, you know a little more about how people are supposed to act around these parts. I look forward to seeing you out in the Open and I pray you maintain that gleam in your goggles young chap!

while reading through this, im sat in the ruins of a monk temple, almost perfectly fitting for this. regardless, i understood that this was quite some time ago and still enjoyed reading it as it made me remember the friends and foes i had made when i was first starting out. wondering if you'd take the time to make a short story about your travels some day.

Strange. I've never encountered a single pirate in Driss, not even once. Never been killed by another player.

I've only ever encountered Griefers and Trolls on Driss. Kubo has been super friendly and chill. Even in Badlands. Don't know how you can condemn the whole community when I've yet to meet a single toxic person in my entire time on Kubo. Alterra, Minutemen, and my own Alliance Rogue Traders are big and chill.

I left the game because it became airborne Rust, full of griefers and trolls..The game is amazing but game community is a toxic pool of acid trolls. No one ever helped me, gave me info, or did anything but jump on my ship, nose around my stuff and ask for schematics. Pretty much exactly the same as the Rust gaming community.
If the PVE server ever goes PVE truly, I'll reinstall the game and give it another go, but I'm a bit put off about being lied to about the PVE in the first place. It's like paying full price for a game and getting a demo... The developers play games making hybrid servers to get players. Fact is that that griefing style gameplay only appeals to a small audience., and players like me take one sniff of it and move off to other games.

As evidenced by your comment, clearly. Two years ago the community was smaller and much more...Amenable. It's a different kind of wild west out there these days, but I leave the guide up in the hopes that folks take it to heart all the same. You never know.

Laughable! No one gives two shits about etiquette in this game.

sweet to read :)... i think everyone in the game should at least read this once :D

My best suggestion is use realistic RP principals. It's YOUR ship to risk, to wander off from, to under equip and embark (on a pvp server) into the unknown. Would you do that? Standing on that ship for real? if you did and (Thanks the gods revived instead of dying forever) would you learn from it?
