Nice! King of the Hill at last!You get your own server.
You have some idea how to "improve" the game. At least it would improve it in you opinion.I would have thought this would actively assist to improve the game but I see now that any positive feedback is discourged as it means work for Frontier.
I'm all for players from all platforms that can use the same game.
What I'm not crazy about is when different player factions from different platforms go against each other in a war or an election where you cant see them or combat them as they are on a different platform.
Recently we lost our station and control of a system of a PC player faction to a PS4 player faction in an election/war . How do you fight a "player faction" if you cant see them as they are on a different platform. The reality now is that now they know they can steam roll us, They will look to take the rest of our hard fought and worked for systems as well like a greedy take take take cancer faction. They cant have the rest of the galaxy but they have to prey on our systems and we are unable to interact with them in game.
This rubbish needs to be sorted out and is ruining mine and other players in our groups gameplay.
Either
1. Make xbox, PS4 and PC all have their own galaxy to work in and interact separately
or
2 Make cross platform a reality so all platforms can see each other in game and it becomes a level playing field
I like playing against AI and I like playing against human player groups, but how do you compete with a human player group you cant see or have combat with.
Frontier have done this on the cheap to grab the console dollars and I get that , greed is good. But for game play it totally sucks as there is no game balance.
Either you make cross platform a reality like every one can see everyone like in other cross platform games i.e. sea of thieves. or give each platform its own server to interact with.
Its only a computer server. its not hard and your making a bundle of cash supporting a galaxy. get it done.
To some extent this already happens. Could you imagine how funny it would be on this forum if a nerf to some aspect of the BGS happened on PC, but consoles still got to make use of the pre-nerf state for a week? As far as I am aware, the only things that get pushed through quicker on PC are those emergency post update fix patches.I seem to recall that the difficulty with doing cross platform play were due to the different patch approval processes enforced by the different console manufacturers vs. the open platform of the PC. In short: it would make releasing updates a nightmare since all platforms would have to be on the same version at all times, and any update would have to wait for both Sony and Microsoft.
They aren't "defending". They are "attacking" another faction. You can't defend when you're not attacked.One of the biggest ironies of those who want to PvP their way to BGS success is that they keep failing to realize that “defending” a controlling faction via PvP is functionally identical to attacking a controlling faction via PvP. The best they can hope for is to break even, BGS wise. Furthermore, if the opposition knows what they’re doing, they can arrange a “Heads I win, tails you lose worse” situation.
It’s why I prefer to do my BGS work in Open. Imagining local headlines like “Local hooligans attack ship carrying puppies and kittens destined for orphanage while the authorities watch helplessly,” or “Violent thugs in the employ of the authorities destroy relief supplies,” never gets old.![]()
And if you're being attacked by players who don't support a faction you can attack?They aren't "defending". They are "attacking" another faction. You can't defend when you're not attacked.
And if you're being attacked by players who don't support a faction you can attack?
After all, there's many BGS players who:
What then?
- Are more interested in spreading ideology than one particular faction
- Are more interested in suppressing ideology than spreading one particular faction
- Are attacking your faction, because its unfavorable to the local Power
- Are just messing around, and don't know that you're supporting a particular faction
