It will be a mistake, in my opinion, if you allow raider types to kill low level players at will. There needs to be a "safe" area for noobs to grow their toons in or make the rewards for doing it a negative value so as to discourage this practice. As it stands, it is possible to break a player all the way back to the free ship if a rivalary or "Heated" dispute should happen between players. In my opinion, this will tend to drive players away from the game.

There already is a safe-haven for lower level players and n00bs: The nation systems are pretty well guarded by the strike force bots and station guards, especialy if you stay in the core systems. Outside of the core nation systems, things get dangerous.

i personally think things have become too safe with the strike forces, only certain stations or areas should be guarded not basically all of them

Were you killed by another player? If so where were you when you were shot?
