Man these were awesome!
Cronus was the one ship tournaments right? Was there a participation badge / title for that?
I could of sworn I had a signup in that before we quit a few weeks in due to organisation complications

Turn up the Contrast Settings and feast your eyes on this teaser posted on the guns of icarus facebook page:
I was discussing this with Muse, apparently they are bringing night maps to Skirmish and Alliance.
When asked whether ships would use Headlights, Muse mentioned lighting will be done using Ambient Light.
How do you all feel about Night Maps?

- I for one am very excited for them, I will be awesome to sneak around and ambush enemies.

General Discussion / Re: On the subject of vote kick...
« on: January 24, 2017, 04:44:46 am »A number of people suggested the vote-kick to require confirmation from 90% of people in the lobby.
This would pretty much guarantee the feature is not being abused, because if 90% of people in the lobby can be made to want to kick that one player, it's far better for that player not to be there.
I can see this being a good starting point.

First of all, welcome to the forums Nezumi-chan!
Secondly, good work keeping this thread constructive guys.
There are some very good points here, Kicking can be attributed to bullying of players as well as trolling which portrays a really interesting question, how could they resolve these issues.
As a moderator, I have the ability to kick people however, there are contingencies in place which all moderators must follow before using the tool.
Just as a preamble, I am aware of the limited population of moderators these days as mentioned by multiple players within the forums and general community in game. This is just an insight into how the function is currently used.
So the rule we moderators follow is shortened into an acronym called WWMKB. This is contingency to ensure moderators do not abuse the tools at their disposal and to ensure the correct procedures are carried out to avoid any further confrontations outside of game such as on Steam Community or Forums.
It stands for Warn, Warn, Mute, Kick and well, you know what B stands for.
Now, as you can see, we must warn twice and mute before considering the kick function. This is why kick is very rarely used. Often, most players will simply stop after a warning or two.
A proposal is to revamp the reporting system rather than provide players with these tools.
Currently, once a player is reported, the report is logged for the devs while also sending them a default warning.
One consideration would be to assess the reports and perform a WWMTK contingency. (Warn, Warn, 1 minute mute (while in lobby) and TK (Kick from lobby only)).
Thus the mean players will receive two warnings and a mute before a kick. This will only apply to the lobby. Further actions would require Moderator or Dev action.
Obviously I am well against this however, this is a possibility.
In saying this, Automation of this tool would be extremely dangerous for multiple reasons, players can spam report a player thus leading to the original debate of Bullying or Trolling.
