Mhm, I doubt race tracks are really needed. Checkpoints, yes. Checkpoints and spraypaint.

Once again getting frustrated with settlement missions. First mission, "friendly" ships dropped troops. SRV immediately came under fire and exploded before I could figure out which way to turn. Mission failed. Second mission, hung around in the ship, waiting for people to shoot me and missiled...

...move several hundreds meters per second, the clear line of fire might not be clear by the time the projectile exits the barrel. Friendly fire happens all the time, this is why you should have Report Crimes off when fighting in an AXCZ in open or private group. You can minimize the incidents...

...me from picking up resupplies in the system, sometimes even in nearby cluster systems to get back to the war. Why the hell is this even a thing? Even in regular real world wars friendly fire is a common thing - can we possibly set the thresholds for a "friendly kill" higher to avoid this?

PP ships attack me every time I try to land on my fleet carrier. They don't become wanted, so I can't shoot back. If I do, my own FC blows me up in seconds. They're not a problem while I'm mining in my very strong Cutter, but I'd have no chance in a Type 6 that I want to use to make some videos...

Evo 4.0 lasted just long enough to confirm a prior leak 😁 (Relevant bit bolded) Can't wait for dynamic fire ;)

I see I'm not the only one to realise the potential for SCO drives to enhance the Apex customer experience. The ability to take Apex taxi missions could be interesting, if decent ways to distinguish them from other passenger missions could be implemented, aside from having to use a company ship...

...now where to go. Rockets (and flak, and fletchettes, and mines) are horribly inaccurate, invoking Maxim 5: Close air support and friendly fire should be easier to tell apart. I don't believe the settlement owners want to blow up half their own infantry, emplacements and buildings in the...

I think you'd be surprised at how popular this sort of thing is currently and could become. However, I agree that a specific racing update would seem a bit odd, which is why I think it would be better to incorporate racing friendly aspects to a base-building upgrade, just being able to lay down...

...relatively untouched but reinforced by adding a further layer of abstraction, giving it the ability to differentiate between a single friendly fire hit in a CZ and a full attack upon a friendly. To achieve this state would need to be implemented: has the attacking craft previously hit a...

It's odd because in ground CZs you can kill every one of your teammates with no penalties. They don't even turn hostile. At least that was my experience when doing bombing runs.

It's probably just a bug, because when you fight in a normal conflict zone it's not like that.

...or may not be related to a PvE objective), hunting down player-killers, getting revenge a few days later on the person who blew you up, friendly fire in a crowded AX CZ or other high-intensity PvE environment, etc. 4) Requires manual moderation and assessment for each kills (or even some...

...are generally asked to turn crime reporting off in shared instances because the existing mild consequences for a bit of the inevitable friendly fire are already still really inconvenient for people not planning a life of crime. I don't think AX pilots would enjoy a few stray shots landing...

This is another consequence of making the game easier though. Used to be you didn't get kill credit unless you were actively firing on something when it died, then people complained that NPCs were stealing their kills. So we got the dumb 10s rule where you get blamed for murder if you hit...

...as you point out. The other, much rarer IME, glitch is a system authority/powerplay agent going full offensive on player for absolutely no reason. I've had it on a few times, and I've been squeaky clean every time—no bounties, no fines, no illegal cargo, no friendly fire incidents from my part.

...at them is way less annoying than frequently getting hit with even the existing fairly mild player-kill penalties from the inevitable friendly fire. - ultimately it comes down to "indulgences" - how many minutes/hours PvE grinding do you need to do per PvP kill? - where the people who don't...

Friendly fire off when you are clean and friendly fire on when you are in conflict with someone and so on.

...to play the game "competitively" with other players that it's probably best to treat the game as if it were a co-op with really harsh friendly fire rules. (I think Frontier would like the game to have inter-player competition, but they don't prioritise it at all in design, so what exists is...

Then why lock ships behind the microtransactions at all? I definitely hear what you're saying, and I think a lot of it makes sense, I just don't see the point of having some of these MTX when selling the game normally with standard DLC expansions could be more than profitable for ED. And if they...

I agree with all of that - it's part of what I mean by "Open-only is irrelevant" (which is not "Open is irrelevant") Put another way: because downside risk is essentially zero, shooting someone often doesn't actually slow them down significantly, so from a merit-earning perspective it's not...

0threeleven's inglorious death was worth it if it helps us feel immersed within the game. I salute him. o7 o> I was really just thinking about the jump range though, even if you don't hit the boost button. Are they better than a normal drive for that purpose? Technically, yes. I just don't...

...were in seperate groups, but we both joined the AXI group and could Wing up there. Turn OFF "Report Crimes Against Me" as you WILL get friendly fire. I don't think I saw anyone shooting down the accidentally red, but you dont want to be them all the same. 2.) I saw people using all kinds of...

...too. Not feds, but an independent system authority vessel sometimes just goes red and starts blasting me in a RES. I don't even have a friendly fire incident or carry anything but limpets in my hold when they do this. Funny thing is that if they're in a wing their wingmates won't join the...

Or don't? She has become "acccurate". I guess there is still a risk for wild shots. This is pure dakka. Any other party member pales in comparison. Everyone else sucks now. Melee has become tactical blocker useful minions to the mistress of Death - the killer is Argenta. Officers speed up her...

The Security NPC will zap me a few times before scanning in res zones. In mercenary zones I’m good for about 2 waves even if I tag a friendly by mistake I get a warning but once third wave hits all hell breaks lose. I’m also being attacked by alliance security in hostile territory but it’s only...

If I'm pirating someone, an activity explicitly supported by the game and explicitly in-keeping with the lore of the universe, and I say this is absolutely completely 100% unambiguously true because if it weren't then NPCs wouldn't do it, and they run instead of dropping cargo, then there is...

...which killed that idiot AI you were trying to help). Someone remind me why crime reports are active in a war zone. Like accidental friendly fire when you're attacking one Hydra and the other has decided to make you its target doesn't happen. Not like it even discourages those who would...

Indeed. Long range would be bit pointless on these. Spread makes them miss anything that is not T9-T10 if more than 1km. Overcharged or efficent, gives it nice boost, while OC does a lot more dmg, its more taxing as well for distro, efficent on otherhand, does less dmg than OC, but its way more...

I was moved to write a little story inspired by PP 2.0. This is my impression of how it might feel in-universe to some characters. Gabriel has Spoken “Core Dynamics Sierra India Lima. An ally like you is always welcome here.” Even crackling and distorted through comms, the voice of Gabriel...

I have been testing the Hound of Baskerville for a few sessions now and I have to say, it is quite a good combat ship. Turns this mediocre at best combat pilot into a capable fighter, able to survive butting heads with a 'Conda. Not completely on my own, mind you, but before, I wouldn't be able...

I was re-reading your post, I'm a bit of a slow digest, but got to the essence of it eventually. I am working on, or rather interested by, generalised protocols that work within the actor model; I just realised that this scenario is actually a perfect situation to try to implement something for...

Anything involving pirates would fall under C+P mechanics for me. People always seem to forget the Crime bit, which is understandable, since Frontier did the same for their Crime and Punishment update.

...ships, most of my freighters are only armed with fighters and almost all canisters I have seen are on the ignore list. As for shooting that is almost always in a RES of some sort and all my shooty ships tend heavily to turret based armaments which try to avoid friendly fire incidents by design.

The Monthly Report is here, and the progress is historic! “We are studying different economic models from history and fiction to get a better impression of how the economy will feel when it is fully fledged.” Economy Team “Hopefully some of these [missing missions] will be in a good enough...

And will generally result in operational shutdowns, investigations, charges and dismissals... at least for any country with a modicum of lawfulness to them. So sounds like friendly fire should shut down all czs in a system i guess, if we're going for realism.

Yes - combined with an outfitting design which makes ships considerably less capable of multipurpose work than in the previous games, so if you want to do more than one thing you either need multiple ships or to constantly be refitting your one ship. That's another advantage of Odyssey, of...

I feel like I’m coming across the same issue we use to have awhile back when bounty hunting in a haz res and friendly fire would get you a bounty. Only this time I’m attempting mercenary work at “Interstellar Mobile Guard Services”. This post is after my second attempt, the first time an npc...

...turned off(because I don’t want to annoy other people by giving them a fine, since no one at Frontier thought making war zones where friendly fire just occurs lawless, should be a thing) and it’d still be random if they would or would not start shooting as soon as I showed up to such an...

...attack range. They seem to be reluctant to go past a certain point near it, for one reason or another, even if there is little risk of friendly fire occurring. I’ve noticed this when I had a Glaive on me, but it kind of just… refused to come into range to fire if I hugged the Titan closely...
