Open PvE

[Phosphora]

The danger, the excitement, the unknown! I might even have to pop a SCB at some point.
I am giddy with excitement as I type this.

See you in Mobius my friend

Majinvash

People are different. What is exciting to you may be dull and boring to someone else.

You may enjoy combat. I don't. I prefer the slow, steady grind of trading and exploring. I have no problem with you PvPing consensual targets, or attacking NPCs, but don't think that I will automatically enjoy an activity because you enjoy it.

See you in Mobius (or maybe not...)

Cheers, Phos

NPCs don't want cargo and don't stop for cargo anymore - if they interdict you (and not system security) they will try to kill you.
It also does not matter what cargo you carry if any at all. They also don't pick on a ship type, NPCs will pull any ship, not just traders.

Well see, now we have a positive for human pirates. I'm glad we uncovered that stone.

AI pirate: "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Prepare to die! Gimme your cargo!"
Human player: "No! Don't! Here! Take it!"
AI pirate: "AHahahahahahahhaha! ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!" *shoots player with lasers* "Heating up!"
*Human player dies*

-vs-

Human pirate: "Please remain calm while you are scanned."
Human player: "Okay."
Human pirate: "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I spy Imperial Slaves. The tax be thirty tonnes! Abandon thirty and ye may go free!"
Human player: "But Mister Pirate, Sir, I... I'm down on my luck. See, my girlfriend, she dumped me and left me with her smelly dogs--ran off for some stud named Rico and his fancy Ford Escort! He's buff, and those chrome hub--"
Human pirate: "Yeah, whatever. Gimme the cashhhhh!"
Human player: "Please! I'll do anything!"
Human pirate: "Anything?"
Human player: "Anything..."
Human pirate: "Hmm. Okay. Tell ye what I'm gonna do. I want ye to dance fer me. Ye dance and drop me twenty and ye can go!"
Human player: "Dance. Oh. Well twenty is reasonable..." *drops cargo and starts to dance with his thrusters*
Human pirate: "Yeahhhhh. I like that. Now do a little twirl."
Human player: "Like this?"
Human pirate: "Yeah! Perfect! Now hold it! Hold it! ARRRRR! Thank ye kindly, 'ave a nice night."

*Human player flys off into the stars, a little weirded out at the whole encounter but no worse for wear, ship still intact and continues about his business minus a few tonnes of cargo.*

I don't think there is. They both want your cargo and at the worst, want to hurt you.

Oh, sorry, there is one difference--one you can talk to, the other you cannot. Hey! That means your odds are better against the human! You can be nice to them and maybe they'll cut you a break.

There is a great diffrence
AI script doesn't have a choice, no ill will, it's like force of nature one can do nothing about.
CMDR can be a duchebag who takes pleasure from destroying other CMDR's game.
Why give him a satisfaction ?

Remove SCB's and wings from the game and it's ok, at least a chance to fight in Open for armed multipurpose or single combat ship.
Now PK wings stuffed with SCBs rule there, it's cold and lonely place for anyone else.

So let me get this straight...

AI robs you, then kills you, it is okay.

Human player robs you, then lets you go, they are being a d-bag?

I'm confused...

As for SCB removal--I'm fine with that. I usually fight alone and most of the time, my small pirate ships (when I'm in my Cobra) don't have enough room for them.

Yea, it got really silly at one point - all you had to do was drop 1T of Fish and boost away, the AI pirate wouldn't follow as scooping became its priority.
So even a T9 could take the mick, 499 Gold and 1T of some junk. Drop the junk, boost and jump - the NPCs also didn't follow back then, so you were free and clear at no cost.

Instead of improving the NPCs pirating skills, they just made them all killers - the quick and easy fix
And as far as I am aware, that is still what they do now. (Edit: I've not tried to drop any cargo for months, so do not know if they still stop for it)

They also (fun tip for those who do not know), will try to interdict you even if you stay close to the star you jump in at.
So if you stay put or move a bit closer to the star then turn so the star is behind you - they will still try to get behind you, getting forced out of SC by the star.
You then carry on your way laughing your backside off at how dumb they are.

You wont see Majinvash... but you might meet me

I can absolutely guarantee I won't meet you.

Haha you say that like its a big deal mate. Loads of pvp players are in mobuis. In fact I believe I'm still the only open player to be chucked out of mobius and get back into it with the same CMDR name. They changed some rules off the back of that.
If you brake the rules you will just be kicked, no biggy for that group.


edit; sorry guy I just realised you went to the trouble of using mobius in your sig. Maybe do your homework next time. Already infiltrated buh

I think the the chance of Mobius clicking accept if I reapplied, is somewhere between Jockey becoming a PVP advocate and the second coming of Jesus.

In all honesty then it's probably best you alter your sig and stay true to your pirating pilot as what you aspire to this lone pirate has already achieved o7

i wouldn't normally comment against your posts as I agree with much you say. Clicked on this thread(last page) and from what I saw was just a couple of churlish PVPrs having a cheap dig because people also play PVE.

I myself stay true to the old code that seems somewhat watered down in the last page I read.

Bravo, YoBuck. The bluster has derailed this thread. I can't see how much of what's going on can possibly help either cause. I'll keep an eye on it, and if a relevant conversation were to break out. I may be inclined to post some. I'm sure the code is more of a guideline than anything else. They can't find targets in game, so they search here, It shows their caliber.

I have been nothing but nice on the last few pages of this thread.

I want to help PVE players achieve their dream of having a Mobius mode and fracture this game even further!

Your etiquette leaves you majinvash. Your jib is not cutting.

the game is already split, always will be but only the fool slaughters the cow. Play your power games if you must.

All of Wargaming.net games, Planetside (1 and 2), Robocraft, MechWarrior Online, Star Trek Online.
These are all the games I PvP in. And I did spend loads of time in 0.0 space in EVE until it became blob wars, then I quit EVE.
Also, I've been quite vocal in the SCB topic and how I feel the current mechanic and over stacking of them ruins PvP.

I like PvP, I enjoy the company of others.

What I don't like, is narcissistic, brain dead, ego centric, morons who think their way of playing is the only way of playing.
Those who ignore the freely available information on what the game is and the freedom of choice it offers, after all..

... they have google and a keyboard.

So there is no excuse for anyone to force their play style on other people, like joining a PvE group and player killing - for example.
Anyone who does that should have their account banned - not shadow banned, not a temporary ban, but forever, gone - deleted.
And then forced to rebuy if they want the game back.

This game offers choice, and I defend that choice.
It was advertised right from the kickstarter and Frontier have said repeatedly this is how the game is staying.

Narcissists aside, this thread is about requesting a PVE open server from ED.

 

[Cody]

Narcissists aside...

Good luck with that, Mouse - they simply cannot help themselves!

I`m against it. I don’t want a pve mode in this game. There are enough modes already. Open is not a pure pvp environment and I`m against it becoming such!

There is little you can do to stop it. The request only hopes to bring the Co-Op minded players together more easily, and officially.

Some don't want a PVP mode in this game, should we get rid of open then to appease them? People have all different types of play styles , and FD wants us to "play our way". Well currently if your want pvp.. you just go right into open.. but if you want PVE and NOT PVP.. you have to dig and search or make a group... something is off here... Groups are good if you jsut want to play with your friend, but if we are truly "Allowed to play our way" and not be forced to play others way.. a PVE server would help make this true..

Open will never be a pure PvP environment - it's too big....

However, some players never want to encounter PvP - it is not unreasonable for the game to include a mode that could take all the fragments of the community in Solo and Private Groups and potentially allow them to coalesce into a significant group of players in an Open-PvE mode.
