Game needs "Arena Commander"

Seriously, why can't we have somewhere that we could just shoot each other for funzies? There's no reason to shoot any Cmdrs in Open Play unless there's a sufficiently high bounty, and I've been playing the game for two weeks and I've only seen ONE player with more than 1000 cred bounty on his/her head.

It doesn't have to be much, just an arena with FFA rules, and you earn a bit of money when you kill someone.

Go away. Seriously.

Back to your console.
 
I agree with op, even though this community is completely against any change to the game and that any suggestion is a bad suggestion, and the contentless bland and dry grind of the current game is the best way to go!

Nope SC and ED should be two different games. :rolleyes:

Does the loser also lose money (still have to pay for their insurance?). Otherwise it can become an instant exploit with two players who just sit there killing each other for the prize money.

I think your best option would be to look for an existing PvP dedicated group or if one doesn't exist, create one yourself and see if you can attract others. Perhaps offer weekly competitions. Set different locations for the meet ups, like some in planetary rings and others in open space. Get creative. It could be a good group to play in for those seeking PvP.
 
Multiplayer combat training simulator or whatever you want to call it could be pretty decent. An out of game bit of PVP without consequence just for a laugh but also to hone your piloting skills.
 
Make a PVP group, Choose a planet on a system with no faction, and make it become the greatest arena of the galaxy ;)
 
Actually not a bad idea - something like tutorial missions but about PvP.

Now you are on to something. However I agree there needs to be something in game at some system that allows players to "build up fighting experience against human pilots" but can't put "electrons to phosphor" at the moment...

Of course you can always jump into an Anarchy system with a sidewinder and a few bars of gold in the hold and just wait at the nav point :) Name your pilot something like "Try me...". lol.
 
You're in the wrong game for such a thing. It doesn't fit. It doesn't make sense. This is not a console game or some lame title that you can throw in a deathmatch where it doesn't belong.

Star Citizen is more than happy to do lame crap like that though.

Would it not make sense in the context of a training simulator?

Combat training with other pilots is lame? Thats a new one to me.
 
I actually think the basic mechanics for a pve and/or pvp one on one tournament with ranking systems and possibly even prizes would fit right in to the Elite universe.

Anarchy systems only (too dangerous/low-brow for well off systems), possibly prizes to be won (or just credits) and definitely "watchable", maybe with some high level ECM which prevents others locking on and influencing the battle.

Go to an Anarchy System Nav. Beacon or Conflict Zone in a 'Warzone' System.
You want matchmaking Combat; then wait for Star Citizen, or there are a myriad of Space Combat games on Steam right now that provide this; as the idea of any sort of PVE/PVP Queue breaks immersion and the entire point in nature of Elite.
.
This said, I would support the idea of a 'Structured Tournament' aspects; such-as Racing, Non-Lethal Combat, etc... as forms of 'Entertainment' that you could participate in and bet on down the line (very far down the line) if they decide to include 'Customisable Sub-Systems'; so think along the lines of Formula 1 Grand Prix, where there are specific guidelines and the equipment used is specialist (high cost) that is not useful for normal everyday use.
Instead the 'Edge' is created through the different manufacturers, that you then fine tune specifically for your flying style. It could even have lengthy research to boost capabilities slowly over a Season, with each new Season introducing new 'guidelines' and limitations that have to be followed; with the need to gain 'Sponsorship' from Factions that you would then display their Logos on your Hull (with bonus based on how well you do).
.
I mean fully flesh this idea out and post it at some point, as if well designed it could add some seriously interesting and highly competitive e-sport (in universe) that could be enjoyable to participate, watch or bet on.
 
Yeah! LOL! hahaha! ha...ha.

Seems like an appropriate response to someone suggesting an additional feature for the game.
