Just got everything working finally, got my oculus setup. Figured I would jump in and play some open world and cruise around get used to the controls. Its a bit awkward, I don't enjoy the super cruise mechanic. I think it over complicates getting to destinations.
But after playing for 2 hours today, not even getting a mission in, or anything. I get "interdicted" trying to figure out just how to slow down to actually get to the city.
I am pretty close to it. I am in my beginner sidewinder, no cargo, everything just new. And lo and behold two Cobras (gank squad) "interdict" me, and of course this is a "fair" fight as I am still trying to remember where the lock buttons are on my hotas. In any case I am destroyed quite easily.
And frankly thats it, you had your chance. This game is going to be garbage because of PVP. Just like all PVP games its going to be garbage. While I was flying about semi immersed in the game, figuring out how to navigate and pretty much into it. Nothing brings you back to real world reality like random people abusing others over the internet.
In the "virtual" world psychotic behavior will eventually get you killed. Taking senseless risk to kill "newbs" makes no sense. To have people committing murder that close to a city, just to get their jollies off is ridiculous. This game is going to be what EVE online was. Its not for anyone I know, I suppose it will find a small audience but its pretty shallow and useless as it is.
I cannot emphasis enough how PVP is am immersion breaker, it is absolutely unrealistic, and breaks any sense of believability this game might have. I am not sure why you are even bothering to create the milyway galaxy, or try and simulate "real" space flight. This game is about as realistic to space simming as Call of Duty 4 is to real warfare.
Catering to the obscene PVP crowd is going to relegate this game to a very small niche market. I am calling off my friends from buying this. I am sorry you need to ensure that can play open world and not be forced into PVP. I am getting tired of the same old tactic, open world does not belong to PVPers.
Create separate servers for open world where PVP is not forced, and one where it is. There is only one group who does not like this situation its the players who gank.. Just so sick of every game being ruined by the same anti-social crowd.
I am sorry this game is in the toilet, and won't be coming out I am afraid.
