i have founded locking is helpful when some one is messing with the planet that your trying to build and other players are trying to build other than what you have on your agenda.
this has happen several times while i have been trying to teach bluedragon how to build and so ive locked the planet to keep idiots from screwing with the planet
IT DOES SEVER A PURPOSE

Yeah, that's likely to happen... after all the stars in the sky burn out and the universe turns into a cold, thin haze of dark matter.

Wow, someone who cares about the game is getting flamed. Thats ironic. Anyway, this kinda backs up my theory of how the biggest problem here isn't the game, or the general player base, it is the elitist club that ruins the game!

As for locking, I have to agree with Ragg on the propblems. So far in the last 4 games in FA I have come accross more thena few planets loccked with improper research or completetly unbuilt! Just because a player is a FA doesnt mean he or she has any idea of what they are doing, infact in the vast majority of FA's case's its the opposite of what it should be. Most FA's I know did the "fast track to glory" and rose the ranks too fast to really develop a understanding of the game. The reason I rarely lock a planet or even build one is Im NOT a engineer, Im NOT a builder. I dislike that part of the game so I do NOT engage in it, other people on my faction are engineer's and are better at it so I let them use that expertise while I use mine. Something has to be done to allow a lower ranked player to fix a planet without friendly bombing if a planet is incorrectly locked like most are.
On the other hand, I agree bombing a friendly planet is dispicable. using nuclear or biologic weapons on and mass murdering a friendly planets population the ultimate in treason and should be treated ruthlessly, but NOT by admins but by the faction itself IMO.

II has spoken 
the nusual stuff he does, which i find funny, and alarming that it even matter to him so much to come up with some crackpot theory... LOL, nm, i'm just gonna stop posting in these type of threads...
no... i'll say one thing... Faust has a reason to care about this game, it's his livlihood. But why don't some of you find something REAL to believe in?

Sorry raggs but bombing your own planet is just as bad as what those fas lcking the planet do. Both of you try to be " king of the hill" and simply because you dont have the rank you bomb instead of lock.
And please dont try to say that only YOU know how a planet is built. Just report whoever is locking the planet.. imho they break the roc too.
(note: in my version of the roc any bad action against your own faction is bannable )

FYI i never bombed any hubs, actuly 1 barrack and said i would remove the hub, i have seen more dammage done by freindly pcm at planets done in the mv, that i will ever be able to do myself, no one kicks these idiots dont know what the fuss is about .
but thats actuly not the topic.
if someone read carefully i do not whine about the kick, why should i ?
they just find another reason to do it those that dont like me, im use to this now becaus i fart and get banned, thats their problem.
DS is the only online game i play, i frankly dont get some of these guys problem with that and insulting me for beeing faithfull to the game, dont make it better when some of the main forces in this are moderators.
is that the way you should threat players that gives Faustus the full support for his game ?.
so back to the lock topic, it must go or get another construct way to use it.
RAgglock out final word no more said help im getting spammed

That's not true anymore. It seems to have become 'habit' for FAs to lock planets and then abandon them. Or to lock a planet, do their own thing regardless of what the team needs, then keep it locked (like researching items for modding rather than defences etc).
The lock system is in place, I thought, to prevent new players from messing up planets...it has become a system for FAs to take total control and even mess up planets themselves.
You know how many FA's I've seen mess up a planet totally? And they lock the planet so they can research depots and automated farms before defense bases are even researched?
I don't know, the locking system is good in theory but it isn't working. And I really really really HATE spending time capping a planet and starting its building and research, then having some FA lock the planet because "he wants TN mines to mod with and when they're done he will give the planet back"
Bullplop. The lock system has become an unfair griefing/control tool. FA's should know what's best for the team right? They should use lock for the team's interests and not their own right? Sorry, bad system it's gotta go.

2) The FA wanted cl2ks, and was willing to essentially stop the development of the planet, because they didn't care.
3) And, before I got to admiral, they would get locked, while I was building so the other guy could get the build points.
This pretty much sums up 95% of the locking in FA. Once in a great while I lock a planet when the noob building it starts researching robotics or something equally stupid, when they should be researching defense bases. |

WDPFF said this, and it's sad to say, but it happens way more often than you think. Locking is now a way to further your personal goals when it should be a way to STOP people from furthering their personal goals. And I also unfortunately see a lot more FA's doing that 'n00b research' stuff than new players; at least new players listen to you and take your advice...FAs just lock the planet and say 'Im FA I have the power and I dont care what you think' or 'Im FA Im obviously better than you dont tell me what to do' (these are damned close to actual quotes BTW).
