Modes Mega ships open only content?

you promised to leave the game. Why are you still here? Neither solo/pg received any changes in Beyond with respect to the BGS/PP. That was your "trigger" to leave until they changed it.

No way. Shows not over yet.

Besides, I think I changed my mind after your post. You did it. You made me stay.

Thanks for talking me into it bby <3
 
It means his word isn't worth squat. Same can probably be said for everything he says.

So if everyone would kindly quit responding to his baiting posts, he just might dry up and blow away. A bit of a stretch more than likely, but hey, one could hope. ;)

You're a glass half full person.
Alas I've played online games since the start and I know the glass is always half empty.
Too many thirsty attention seekers out there who won't leave people to enjoy themselves.

Actually, I'm not. But I am trying to be polite, even though that can be very difficult for me at times. :)

It's easy to be polite to folks here....

/looks at infraction history....

Okay, some people need a tad more work.
Usually the ones with the blue names ;)
 
If Megaships can be attacked by a squadron of players and defended by another squadron surely this should be open only content or you will have players killing off other factions Megaships in the privacy of their own server where the owning faction can do nothing about it?
No.


Stop.


Please.


Deal with it or fight fire with fire, by doing the same to your enemies. Nothing will be restricted to any one mode exclusively, unless you want this game to lose all its players and die then go right ahead.
 
No one is, this isn't Star Trek or Star Wars. No one in ED is the "hero" of the story.
Then explain how John Jameson is the hero? Does that mean one of us is going to be a hero if there is another Elite game in the future, taking place after this one?

Not sure if i responded to this thread already, so assuming i haven't, just consider this:

Does your player group have people online 24/7 and are those people willing to sit at your megaship 24/7?

Do you think any player group really has this capability? Maybe, just maybe, the largest could, but would they want to sit around waiting for the off chance that someone will launch an attack, and any such attack would likely be in force, resulting in the 1 or 2 defenders getting totally stomped.

Based on that, what do you think the chances are that FD will make the carriers destroyable in any way? Perhaps raidable for components, that reset, just like a megaship. But no real loss. So you can defend if you want to, and are online, and in the region, etc.

In short, its highly unlikely the carriers will need to be defended from attackers, and most likely will behave more like stations.

In which case, your question/point is pretty moot. There is no need for it to be open only.

The mega-ships are not the squadron carriers that some have referred to.

The defence aspect is referring to the new "defend transient-mega-ship currently under local faction jurisdiction" scenarios. This is seemingly an extension of the mega-ship data scanning introduced in 3.1/3.2 (can't remember which).

Overall though, I agree but you forgot the platform fragmentation of instances too. ;)

Wait! What? They are talking about the PvE megaship activities needing to be open only because they need defending????

But its just a PvE activity where you can choose sides, and when everyone leaves the instance everything will reset anyway. There is no win-lose scenario here anyway in the long term.

If you want to organize a PvP battle royale based around the megaship scenarios, call up a few friends and get your PvP jollies on.

What am i missing?

Yup - the squadron carriers that were slated for 3.3 have been shelved for now.

Nothing in essence :)

Yeah, i knew that. But i know some people have been thinking that carriers (when they come) will have some PvP possibilities and just couldn't get my head around someone making a case for megaships to be open only.... i mean, i know the open only crowd would love to restrict as much as possible to open because they are superior players and deserve it or something, but the megaship one has me scratching my head.

Maybe this a joke thread?

What's next? How exploration tags should be open only? Otherwise how can PvPers compete to get their names on planets if people are hiding in PG/solo while out exploring!
