I thought there was some limit to the numer of times you could be hacked/ diabled etc ?? I've got some p**k who is 50 levels higher than me & who has hit me over 25 times in the last 16 hrs ??

As already mentioned, if you have been "hit" 25 times, then you probably have that many actions to give; which means you have been active yourself.

Cheers, does that include NPCs ??

No, the only ways to increase your actions are by disabling, hacking, raiding other ships or by repeated use of time manipulators. Doing any of those will increase your action counters by 1 each time.

Just to clarify what Kirk is saying... Each time you disable OR raid OR hack OR invade someone it raises ALL 3 of your counters by one, not just that particular action. So if you have 3/5/5 and you disable someone, your action count goes to 4/6/6.

First I've heard of invasions going against your action limits... Against your 50 "Offensive Action" limit for TM use, yes, but not the ship's PvP count.

Now I understand what people mean when they talk about "variation from the 3-5-5". I would greatly like to thank the poster of this thread (unfortunately I can't, because I reached the conclusion independently a couple of days ago).

Anyway, thanks for bringing it to the attention of the Beginner's hub

Edit: I do have one question, how long do the actions stay raised for? I've been sticking to missions lately and I've noticed them gradually going down even while no-one has been hitting me.
