Experience pilots visiting starter systems

[Yaffle]

Forgot to add - the BGS does nothing there. No missions give INF, there is only one faction, and it would not surprise me if no faction can expand into them either.

Thank you my friend! That is exactly what i was thinking. Finally a positive thought

I'm not a fan of meta "gameplay" development of this nature. It doesn't add anything to making sense contextually in the game either way. I understand "immersion" isn't important to some people though.

Anyway, this could be fixed much, much more easily with just some instancing tags and Commanders could go wherever regardless of game mode.

Yamiks was in the starter system on his stream this evening to see how long it would take him to get booted out. Four noob kills later he got booted.
I thought it was a bit of a move considering it was only to increase his Youtube views.

I really want to get into the hen house, not to take any chickens or anything, but because I just think I should be allowed to see it, to see inside instead of being locked out.

Booted as in banned?

Why?

Nah, just booted out the system and permit revoked.

I had trouble just following the statement you made....can you imagine how much work it would be to actually code it?

I mean, on the one hand I do understand the OP's point....but on the other hand, there's over 4 billion star systems....no player is ever going to see them all....so who cares if there are like a dozen you can't visit? It's a purely psychological thing to "want" to go to them (simply because you can't and others can....human nature does that sometimes); control one's subconscious desires, don't let them control you, I say.

If a person cannot get over that weird psychological thing...they can clear save, as someone already pointed out, and then CAN visit them. Or they can get a second account. Certainly it isn't a reason for Frontier to have to take the time to program wierd gymnastics into the program logic, better they use that time for something that actually matters.

I keep reading "400 billion systems" but many many "systems" I enter are just the star itself. Are these considered "systems"?

Yes, as far as I know. There are also many, many systems with multiple stars, so I guess in that sense it sort of balances out.

That's an excellent idea. Harmless pilots only instance with other harmless players unless they tick a box when joining open.

What a ridiculous request.

 

[Florenus]

ahhh, the space is always greener on the other side of the permit syndrome.

Mount Lu in misty rain
The river Chi at high tide
When I had not seen them
No end of the pain of longing
I went there and returned
It was nothing special
Mount Lu in misty rain
The river Chi at high tide

Indeed!

Could be used all sorts of ways I suppose, but I imagined it being more of a behind the curtains sort of thing. Cheers.

I think it's a bit unfair that us (experience pilots) are unable to visit starter systems like dromi etc etc ....
I must admit that it's a wonderful addition to new players and i am glad that FD did this because i am very interested in the future of this game and this a good way to attract new players.
But i want to have the ability to visit those systems , not because i want to gank defenseless new players but because i like exploring and trading or sightseeing.So please FD allow us to visit the starter systems while in solo only for the experienced players

For some reason I don't believe you! No offense.

I'd still rather have a function to switch off PvP in some way than locked off starter systems or some complex crime and punishment system people ignore because they are filthy rich.
While in general against any addition to the game that has the flair of game rule around it rather than simulation, I still think gankers break immersion more than the ability to toggle off PvP (however that would work).

I made this days ago for another more appropriate thread, which got locked before I had a chance to post it. Then it nearly went into another similar thread, until I noticed that one was already locked. So although it's not totally relevant for this discussion, you're getting it anyway.

Judging by the tone of the forums at the moment, I can imagine this one may get an airing on a fairly regular schedule.

Probably you haven't looked carefully what i posted.I only want to visit the starter systems in S O LO not in open play! I've been playing elite since the first day of release and the only time that i played open was when they offered a graphics card contest! (No offense taken)
