But if you want to play PowerPlay which is a competitive interactive combat-based contest between live humans, then there's certain rules.
Its a system that
allows for 'interactive combat-based contest between live humans', it also allows a non-combatabt to take part by delivering pamphlest around. Its almost as if its designed to allow 2 styles of play within the same system.
And youre right, there are certain rules, but you are the one wanting to change those rules remember?
We all play in the same space, why is it you can travel without risk and make people vanish who threaten you?
Because I paid for my game. Thats the long and short of it. If you dont like it, tough, you didnt pay for my game.
So once that is accepted as indisputable fact what are you left with? I have read all the proposals and only the last 2 I disagree with, the last one I didnt even comment, I stayed quiet. But you just cant
force people to do what you want in a game where you paid for your game and they paid for theirs.
If you want to dispute that fact then isolate it and argue why. If not then give up anything that tries to get around it.
If Block is removed or adjusted, do you seriously think the players who have used block will just concede and go to Open and get blown up? Do you seriously think theyll ask for escorts? They wont, they will leave the game.
I want more people in Open. I just dont think I can make them do it if its all one sided.
PP in Open - want to haul PP? We give you a ship to do it in. You dont lose your ship or money, just the leaflets and the time until Rank 4 and then you take a financial penalty as well if you lose it at Rank 4. If you want the PP module you must be pledged and ranked continuously at Rank 4 for 4 weeks minimum, no 27 days of nothing and 1 day hauling, its a reward for commitment from loyal pilots, not for buying leaflets. It may encourage more to do it and once theyre in Open they may stay in Open because they willingly tried it and at low risk until they got used to it. Its the ones who try Open and 'lose' within minutes that never come back.
