The false premise that I was referring to in that quote was concerning several players who are lobbying for anarchy systems being off limits to "hot" players and countdown timers in our ships that end in an explosion.
I'm all for persistent ATR, if we're going to have them at all. Personally I think they are a dreadful inclusion to the game on a number of levels, lack of persistence being one.
What people need to understand about player killers is very simple: nothing you can think of short of running them permanently out of the game is going to stop the murdering. And Fdev doesn't want to go that far.
The players who require handholding are going to have to make due with a system that merely makes ganking a little more interesting for the bad guy. Simple as that.
Seems a bit whiny to me.
I wonder, how much support do you suppose my suggestion would get if I put it in DD, or the main beta C&P feedback thread?
I'm putting it here (and Besiegers' thread that most PvEers will ignore) because I want to test it & find flaws, then see if those flaws can be fixed. That's what griefers are good at, finding loopholes.
So far we have two decent objections:
It's difficult to justify why you would be denied full docking privileges (Morbad describes this well), and
Going out in a blaze of glory is likely to increase the amount of damage the baddie attempts to do before they are finally taken down as Martian pointed out.
I accept that the idea isn't popular, I don't need it to be. I do want you to understand that these 'problems'
can be solved, and if you dear reader of this post think that maybe the rest of the community would consider you a 'problem', maybe coming up with a solution that
also works for you would be a good idea, rather than leaving it to some scrubby PvEers to do.
The first can probably be overcome, the second seems like one hell of a party that must end at midnight. I can think of worse ways to go (eg insta-kill NPCs).
