Pub

Most stations would have tight security so shooting is suicidal for a player. Maybe some sleazy bars have no or low security.That's where players would go who want potential FPS combat.

See Ultima Online and other MMOs on how that's handled. Warcraft has taverns and players can do duels with other players. Both players must accept the duel and the player who reduces the other player's health to 1 wins. So it's not to the death.

Are you playing ED?
Tight security? Like the high security systems?
PvP where both players have to agree to PvP?
And are you really thinking that players would restrict PvP to designated areas like CZ?


Who cares? Not like there is a rebuy for your character.

Maybe anybody who wants to talk to others, who wants to enjoy a drink at a bar, who wants some non-hostile interaction with other players, who want to get some missions from a NPC and not a picture…

Then hurry up and shoot back.
 
these areas like bars ect would be non pvp areas.....perhaps FD could implement CQC as a pub arcade style game for commanders to sort out there gripes if it kicks off over a few jars.....some of us could even watch as spectators whilst drinking....hell even betting!.....

cmon that would be cool wouldn't it?


like in SC you cant walk around civilised parts of stations and shops ect and just blow stuff away....it would ruin the games and make it just a pew pew fest with no time to enjoy ones beer

I guess I'm the only one who thinks being able to walk around in stations and into pubs is a horrible idea in Elite Dangerous.

I envision it like that:
- getting instantly shoot at by a player
- player killers camping at "spawn points" with sniper guns
- mission giving NPCs constantly dead, because players killed them
- police response non existent
- crime punishment non existent
- NPC criminals that try to rob you every 10m

If FD creates non-PvP areas for the FPS-part the forums will be flooded by complaints about that. In addition to the complains players will find effective ways to annoy others and to prevent any non-hostile social interaction.
If FD allows PvP, then the forums will be flooded by complains about that.

Maybe in some backwater anarchy station I could forsee such problems happening. However I'd imagine Frontier will be going for the 'sacred ground' approach some mods/MMO's go for when it comes to player hubs, particularly the higher security ones.

If modders can manage to implement such things in various DayZ mods for the ArmA franchise, then I cant see why a professional development team wouldn't be able to manage it.

Like an Open PvE mode? ;)

It's FD. They just used a CMDR as an important clue giver in Open and where surprised that that CMDR got killed before anybody could say "bad idea". Do you really think they will do a "sacred ground"?
 
So is it confirmed that season 3 will have Walking around stations/ships or just rumour?

Frawd

well if it doesn't it will be too little too late for a lot of players...myself included.

there was a old dev video that was done before release..they talk about walking around stations ect......I thought wow!...a natural evolution of the original space epic but with the ability to get out the ship and explore....that's why I backed ED..i want a modern day version with all bells and whistle gameplay mechanics.

by the time season 3 even gets released,SC will be out and finished....with all this stuff.and atmos planets....you know the whole bundle.

I feel Most of us players here have the ships,the money,the ranks ect.....after all that there is nothing to do that I aint done a thousand times...


for over a year now I have been dreaming whilst playing ED...dreaming and praying for the day I can get up out of my seat and explore my ship....go to bars...weapons dealers....actually watch your cargo being loaded or do it ones self.

imagine playing the war sandbox that is ARMA.....imagine driving a tank.......but your not allowed to get out of it or interact with anything around you....that's ED at the mo

they gotta stop with the txt stuff and imagination and show some real modern day gameplay...the only thing FD has in this respect is its flight model.


FPS will make this game...it needs it like I need a day off from work.

Not really, more sort of an enforced small area that's a no-fire zone within the Open world. It's how you setup your ArmA MP servers to avoid TK-ing in the spawn area.

And yeah, I saw the debacle regarding the quest-giver nonsense. Hopefully they'll learn from their mistakes (assuming that it's something they didn't want to happen).

Pubs would surely be a blast! I like the idea!

Also the idea of a "clean" place and an absolute dive as mentioned earlier.......where for eg you could find the Black market Contact

Ideas like that could increase the immersion and make it all feel more alive
