Dedicated PvP star systems

I think this may have been proposed before,How about star systems which are set aside for dedicated PvP,the Roman Empire had Gladiator arenas,just jump forward 3k years the Gladiators are now in starships.This could work as content for the game.Each arena would be controlled by a different faction and you would need a permit to go to these arena.You along with permit get some kind of device like a drone with transmits what you are doing in the arena to somekind of media streaming device.The people of the galaxy could watch this on there spaceage TV and place bets,It could be the most watched sport of the future.

This would give people with genuine interest in challenging PvP plenty of combat,as only people interested in combat would go there.

Aside from permits, aren't these the anarchy systems?

The ones closes to core sectors are rather lively.

Don't need a starsystem dedicated to it, just organise a meet-up and shoot-up. A few more mechanisms to ease the process wouldn't go amiss though. Ultimately it would be great if such things simply grew out of what the playerbase builds without being hardcoded in, a truly player-shaped universe.

Good idea, and good luck !

Just organize something like this in any anarchy system. Who knows, you might even attract commanders who just pass by.

Organizing would work... for few times...
And also sharded system would limit the probability a bit, but I don't think this would be much of an issue.
I do want PvP everywhere tho. Yes, I'm EVE Player and I am looking for some EVE mechanics here, yeah. And regardless I agree Elite should be different.
But yeah, this should work for some time, as said.

there are already PvP areas spread throughout the galaxy, they are called warzones.

Would be cool if systems could have a civil war, and there be conflict zones where you picked a side and then everyone shot at each other, or systems in complete anarchy with no repercussions for your actions at all.
