Year 9 Day 325 19:24	Freeing Arrested NPCs
Roy Starkiller	Several of my NPCs have been arrested. I am currently at the same coordinates as one of them and there are no other PCs, enemy or otherwise, in the area. What exactly is keeping the NPC arrested? Why do I not have the option of freeing my own NPCs (that I can find)?

Gravnkev Forestwanderer	You'll have to try to contact the arrestor, and negotiate the release of your NPCs ____________

Hal Breden	“Why do I not have the option of freeing my own NPCs (that I can find)? ” Because nothing to that effect was ever implemented. ____________ "May the Grace of Ara go with you, and His Vengeance be wrought upon your enemies." Only fools and children dream of heroes.

Kevin Goodman	“You'll have to try to contact the arrestor, and negotiate the release of your NPCs ” So, what are you supposed to do when the arrestor is, say, dead? ____________ I use and support quote-unquote use and support banners.

Syn	You need faction privs to arrest, so presumably there will be someone alive in the faction capable of releasing the prisoner(s). ____________

Tony Barzini	Dont quote me, but wasn't there a thread somewhere in here about that? It was a bug, that displaid the arrester as ( ) (just the space in the brackets. Also, if a faction were to dissolve, all arrested (N)PC's, would be released, so if that is the case anything otherwise is a bug. Yes I know, surprising, I have read some of the rules ;) Most of this is directed at Mr. Ismay's question, concerning arrested and NPC's ____________ "Rescue the president, Rescue the hostages, disarm the terrorists..." "Rescue the president, Rescue the hostages, disarm the terrorists..." "Rescue the terrorists, disarm the president, and kill the hostages..." "Disarm the hostages

Roy Starkiller	My question of why was in regards to it never being implemented.

Josh Jericho	“what happens if the faction dissolved? For both arrested NPCs and players? ” They're automatically freed. At least, they have been in the past. ____________

Kevin Goodman	Too bad that doesn't happen very often. The best thing would be a way to free arrested PCs and NPCs if you're at their location and their arrestor is not. ____________ I use and support quote-unquote use and support banners.

Gravnkev Forestwanderer	The ONLY way to free arrested parties would be if you were at the same location. That isn't something you could do by remote. ____________

Ralgarrch	It has never been implemented because the development team hasn't chosen to implement it, obviously. That's all it comes down to. People have been complaining about arrest/executes many flaws since it was released and nothing has come of it yet or is likely to do so till someone disposes of it with combat. Just be happy you've apparently managed to live happily ignorant of one of those flaws for so long. ____________

Xavze Zavan	Perhaps freeing NPCs is considered a combat action. However,detaining an NPC,on the street/ground and just leaving it doesnt seem very good. I'd like to see prisons used.NPCs dumped in prisons are stuck there until combat.NPCs on the ground could be freed by owner or faction members with right priv.Almost like hunting for Easter Eggs....who can say that is not fun? Unfortunately,what I see happening is ALL arrested NPCs will be executed on the spot -_- ____________ How would you like to pay income tax EVERY month?

Year 9 Day 330 7:05	Freeing Arrested NPCs
Roy Starkiller	That's kind of where I'd like to see it go myself, Xavze. Not necessarily even a prison, though. I've got one NPC that was detained some time ago and he's stuck on a Dreadnaught somewhere. Just leaving an NPC where he/she stands doesn't make any sense, especially where stun cuffs are not necessary.
