[HUMOUR] The Final Solution

[erbal]

So. I've realised the perfect solution for all the open/solo, buff this, nerf that, logoffski threads that we see so often, and it's so simple I'm surprised nobody has thought of it before!

Get rid of PvP

Seriously, just make other player's ships completely impervious to weapons fire and in return they can do no damage to you whatsoever!

Without PvP there will be no more worries about balancing ships, who cares if you're OP against an NPC? No more griefers, ganking or whatever you want to call it, since it will be impossible to harm another player in any way. No more threads about people trying to take over systems etc..

In short this one simple step could solve 99% of people's problems in one easy to implement solution.

Yeah but that remaining 1% problem, the " having gutted the game of its core" problem is a pretty big one

You had me fooled. This is actually another 'Shield Cell' thread isn't it?

You can still interact with NPC's just as you did with all the other Elite games, PvP is only available in ED ... so I say we should go back to our roots, and only fight with NPC's but with the added dimension of being able to do that with other players.

Good point, I forgot the shield cell threads ... getting rid of PvP would solve those too

.............. I suppose that's one way. Another would be to pull the plug of the whole game, which is what you would be doing in many peoples eyes.
