Are new players protected from grief killing and Player Killing?
Yes, newbies launch from their core station, which is typically heavy with friendly traffic. A newbie is actually invincible from player fire until the newbie has advanced sufficiently to be prepared, or until that newbie starts a fight. If you are wrongfully attacked in a station sector, defense droids launch and immediately attack the aggressor. In addition, aggressors take a hit in their political status, which carries a range of penalties that are increasingly severe. Once you are an aggressor, a bounty is placed on your head, and anyone will be free to fire upon you and avenge your wrongs. There are also options for honorable combat in game, should it be mutually desired.
