I think illegal = abuse of auth objects, be it rammable or not, if it helps defend you it shall be nuked.

An illegal vault is one that cannot realistically be broken into in any way. These have come in a variety of flavors over the years. The first vaults to pop up were island vaults that were actually impossible to place a ram next to or transport a ram to. Now you cannot place walls too close to the shore to compensate for this. Newer vaults are built on small land islands surrounded by swamps or in mountain clusters where ridges block rams.

Items like authority objects which cannot be destroyed under normal play circumstances are going to get you placed as an illegal vault. As will blocking sides off with any other object that cannot be destroyed, such as a minehole.

It's not a complicated definition: Any area of any size that is impenetrable by legitimate and reasonable means is an illegal vault.

Reasonable meaning that we don't require a dev to pop in and salt it for us or have to use a bug to get past it.

An illegal vault is one that the devs don't like.

You cannot hide behind some arbitrary set of rules if those two decide you have gone too far.

remember the first vault? good times, never4get

[burgingham]

Did anyone make one before Klaue? That is the first I remember.

That "vault" took 2 hours for a basher to get into. That was as safe as it got back then with the walls being made of butter and all.
