Defection
From MegaMekNET
The defection ability is granted to players upon reaching 100 experience in the server environment. It enables players to move between the various player factions. The initial defection out of SOL is free of cost.
Once a player has joined a faction, then subsequent defections are accompanied with a penalty to prevent frivilous defections and potential abuses. Attempting to circumvent the defection penalties is against the rules and will lead to punishments by the moderators and administrators.
There is one exception ... Once a player joins the non-conquer faction either voluntarily or through actions taken by the moderators or administrators, then they are no longer eligible to return to a conquerable faction without unenrolling and starting over in SOL. It should be noted that this method of starting over may not be acceptable for players that have been forcibly moved to one of the non-conquer factions.
