Conquest of Solar Systems

[Yurk Embassy]

Let's get to the face of the problem: This is a game, and to keep the game interesting for all involved parties, there should be some rules.
"Realistic" is not the right term to discuss the game. If you want realism - go outside. There you'd get your realism in true color, HiFi sound, realistic force feedback and full presence effect.
What you are looking for is "Consistent". And for consistency, game rules don't have to be "realistic".

It's not that simple. It's also about it being credible and not being an arbitrary rule saying "lol you can't attack because rules, wait x hours before actual battle." That wouldn't be the Hazeron spirit. Realism isn't necessarily reality, mind you. Hazeron has a certain tendancy to cling to a realistic base of things as far as physics and biology are concerned: gravity around moons and planets, in space without suit=death, groups of species are based off those we know here on Earth, and so on. Sci-fi in itself can be "realistic". I simply meant it should remain credible in the universe it fits in, and we all know SoH has never really had a reputation of stopping players from attacking one another "because rules" (that Noncombatant thing brings a whole new concept to the game, actually, even though I'd argue it's only fair that offline players be somewhat guarded from complete obliteration--they are offline, after all).
