PvP MAJOR ISSUE WITH <PVE>

REAL Elite players (those that DESERVE to be in this forum) NEVER use a docking computer...

Come on, just a bit more and I can Bingo AGAIN :D

Well, I mainly use it for Wake Scanning, but obviously people get easily confused. Wouldn't I have named it 'Traffic Control' otherwise? ;)

O7,

I'll 100% agree with this with the caveat that seal clubbing weaker ships REDUCES the rank by a massive amount so the Dbags can have a big ol' badge of dishonour!! Maybe go into the minus with a large pink graphic of the rank over the ship saying "I'm a seal clubbing Dbag". ;)

The griefers would simply get into noobs ships and cause problems.
If you killed them it would reduce your rank.
 
I like this idea :D

With a few tweaks it'd work ;)

I'd wear that as a badge of honour (if I wasn't in solo)! ultimately I don't think the griefers would keep it up would they? Hardly fun getting destroyed over and over, even the ramming malarky is to get the other ship destroyed by the station.
 
There's a rank for you, it's called notoriety. I agree though, that it should be more obvious and visibly.

Nahh you can farm that from NPCs as well.

I don't think there is a griefer on earth who wouldn't attack lawfuls trying to earn PvP rank from a ridiculous pink sidey.

How hilarious would that be, come on!?

A video of CMDR SirSavesAlot with PvP rank Deadly and then he blows up my pinkmobile and it switches to rank SealClubber in the video? That's like max grief right there.

And on the off chance you can kill the lawful from a sidey that's even better.

EDIT - More seriously it's non trivial to implement. You can't just base it on rebuy. A fully engineered sidey flown well will beat many pilots. CMDR Archon Fury had a whole series of videos on youtube doing this. He managed to blow up at least one of almost every type of ship. The few he missed were just rare ones like Viper 4s and Belugas. He got FdLs, Vettes, etc. Note, he only counted kills that put up a fight. I believe if he included the deer-in-the-headlight CMDRs, he would have destroyed them all.

I might pay real money if I could keep my combat rank at "Harmless" and still be able to partake in combat :D

Then again, I do enjoy when I show up at a CG in my Sidewinder and strangers start texting me, "A Deadly pilot in a Sidewinder?"

boy oh boy do I love the reactions I get when I fly around a busy station scanning wakes in my sidey. Seeing a hollow triangle on the scanners is bad enough, but a sidewinder outside the starter systems very definitely seems to set off people's "that guy's up to something" alarms.

I do still get the occasional one, like the guy last week when I took it in to Wyrd to get my distro engineered - hanging out in supercruise in a corvette, he ignored the krait and anaconda that were also in the area and started circling around to try and get behind me, so I just kinda flew around in circles behind him and jousted him for fun 'cause... come on. It's a sidewinder versus a corvette in a supercruise mobility match, what did he think was gonna happen?
 
I 100% agree with you Vamp. Also, I love all the hurt feelings you stirred up. Just because you're triple elite doesn't mean you're actually any good at the game.
 
Also, as much as I don't really like Vamp, I can vouch that he's a legitimate PvP pilot and not a noob killer like all the carebears want to believe.
 
Hi guys , its Vampire .. I would like to tell you guys about a major fundamental flaw in the game regarding combat rank. When it comes to combat , you have three different types. Most people think there is two but how I see it in this game there are three. The first one is when a commander fights a real commander , known as pvp. It provides more adrenaline , more un predictability , and risk. Sometimes it can be much tougher than fighting a NPC or just as easy depending on who it is. NPC's now , especially in threat 7 pirate zones , are exceedingly just as tough as most commanders out there. Ok second is obviously when a commander fights another artificial intelligence based program that is limited in its outfitting regarding engineering and is fairly predictable in its technique for piloting. It clearly provides much less risk. You see , you can easily go into a conflict zone with a bigger ship like a vette , outfitted properly and massacre tons of them for much less effort to gain rank. Third are thargoid scouts . This is a big issue because they provide four times as much rank gain in combat than what normal pvp does. Why is that? Here is my tiff with all of this. How I feel about pvp is simple : the big dogs jump off the porch and the little ones stay home. So why is it that these little dogs get to wear such a badge as elite , in combat ? My thoughts to fix this would be to create another badge or rank for strictly true PVP combat . Commander vs Commander.. let the cowards have their other rank , this one belongs to us.
Hi, I'm just here to ask where it is we meet up in our sidewinders, so that we can kill eachother all day and fudge up our PVP rank?
 
Nahh you can farm that from NPCs as well.

Yeah Im going to be doing a project on a sidey soon, should be fun , not easiest engineering feat considering it will be a cold build on sidey , and keeping it in mid 7s for boost.

Hey , only reason why people dont like me is because I dont let them. I am the cure to this care bare disease spreading around infecting everyone. Too many friends and not enough foes.

I do appreciate what you're doing. There's too many carebears in this game.
And I am one of your foes. I'll let you keep guessing who though.
