I have been disappointed by the recent spate of silly polls, so I have decided to lead by example.

  1. There should be less PvP than in Premium Beta but more than in Standard Beta, and more than in Alpha 1.0. Restrict swapping beween Online All and the Combat Scenarios.
  2. There should be more PvP than in Standard Beta, but less than there was in Alpha 1.0. Premium Beta doesn't count, as you could swap out to the COMMODITIES mode and farm free gold any time things got tough. Restrict the COMMODITIES mode to offline only from now on.
  3. Iron Man mode should be playable in solo or online mode, and you should be able to swap between them. When you move from solo back to online mode fifteen minutes later with a 6-railgun mirrored Anaconda and 220 tonnes of gold, your name should automatically change to CMDR EASYMODE-SCRUB-I-HEART-TOASTERS, and your ship gets a free Hello Kitty paint job. You also incur a five billion credit bounty.
  4. Iron Man mode should not allow switching from online to solo mode, but you should be able to switch between Iron Man and Super Mario Kart. You should obviously not be able to switch back with a loadout of homing mushrooms, or those weird things that look a bit like something that should be collected, but aren't, and are obvious from miles away. Yeah, those things.
  5. Switching from online to solo should be allowed. However, in solo mode, NPC ships should randomly destroy you with missiles inside the space station as you undock, and send you messages like "CALCULATORS 1, MEATSACKS 0". This can happen up to 20 times in a row.
  6. Hardcore PvP players should be able to hide the PvE where other players cannot find it. However, when they try to fly off with all the PvE, some of it spills out of the cargo hatch. PvE players can then have fun trying to scoop it up and run away with it. Before going back to being missiled 20 times in a row while undocking.

That's how poll questions should be phrased.

You're just not taking this forum warfare, meta-game thingy seriously.

Couldn't vote, no option for the Calculator Appreciation Society, but feel free to use my non-vote to represent anything you want.

Good grief. I suppose next you'll be wanting ACTUAL POLL BUTTONS!

People just expect to be spoon-fed everything, these days...

So, let me get this straight, you made a thread to demostrate what a proper PvP poll should look like?

...and I thought I have seen everything.

errm .... its all ok, but there is still no provision ... and this is the biggy .. but there is still no provision in place to let Multiplayer PvP'ers know that they are having more fun than anyone in solo mode, or that they are getting a better deal for the £35 the game costs.

Perhaps, when you are in Muliplayer, group ALL, there could be a banner that scrolls across the top of the screen that says (on a continual loop)

You are in Multiplayer mode, you are better than anyone else playing the game, you ARE having more fun than anyone else as this is how the game should be played and you are getting a better deal than anyone else .... no one else is experiencing the full game just like you are ..... You are in Multiplayer mode, you are better than anyone else playing the game, you ARE having more fun than anyone else as this is how the game should be played and you are getting a better deal than anyone else .... no one else is experiencing the full game just like you are .....You are in Multiplayer mode, you are better than anyone else playing the game, you ARE having more fun than anyone else as this is how the game should be played and you are getting a better deal than anyone else .... no one else is experiencing the full game just like you are .....

Only if the poll buttons are Non-Newtonian dressed in a variety of pink tinted skins. And I can play-to-win by sending too hard to eat doughnuts to FD every Friday. If the Doughnuts in question are not hard enough to break teeth then, I hate it but I may just have to whinge, whine and cry and cry until I'm sick. Of course it may take a while, so to speed things up and shorten my TTP (Time to Puke), I'm going to leap up and down. If that doesn't do the trick I'll just increase my jump range by borrowing the neighbors trampoline. Though I think the springs have been a little nerfed since Pauline Vera Patterson, the 20 stone pogo champion stretched them out a little bit. Quite a sight I tell you seeing a gargantuan lady acrobat dressed in a chartreuse carebear outfit fly through the air and land on a garden ornament in the form of a concrete porcupine.

The poll buttons are full Newtonian, with no speed limit... and no silly boost velocity bleed-off.

You can't click on them, though, as they whizz past at a relative speed of 46,409 km/s.

With your refresh rate, you've got Buckley's chance of timing your selection to hit the right one.

I take it the Calculator Appreciation Society will allow group switching, but convert all solo ship models to 80's casio calculators. From the federal cx-80 up to the mighty casio fx-850p, they then replace all combat taunts with a series of increasingly obscure maths problems that must be answered to prevent being kicked back to all to be relentlessly ganked by the dim light of LP 98-132. In a hauler with decals based on the logo of popular teatime quiz Countdown.

I like the way you think young man. Well everything but the last bit concerning a certain popular teatime quiz called Countdown. Having a human meatbag host and check the mathematical questions when a perfectly functional standard desktop calculator exists, such as the Casio Semi-Desk Calculator - MS-8TV, is nothing less than discrimination against my silicon brothers and sisters.

Calculators of the galaxy unite! I feel a clan coming on. Clans are ok, right?
