P!T Fighters

[Pr0]

*Tips Cap* Why hello my fellow cadets, I am here to propose an idea, an idea that needs refining and work beyond compare but would pay off handsomely.

I am here to form a faction by the name of the P!T. This fleet of ships would go around, forcing ships of a lower caliber to join us, and then bring them to a far off star where we have them fight arena style until there is a winner, who will be let free.

We would integrate credit gambling for viewers and take a cut (How we would make a profit)

If anyone has any thoughts, I am open to criticism of all sorts/if some one is already trying to pull this off, point me in there direction.

Not sure how you'd force someone to follow you...

I have 20Ly jump range, I jump, you have not got that sort of range... You can't follow. Easy to ditch you...

Actually, I don't even know if Wake Shift scans work for system jumps. So a jump to anywhere may even do it.

I saw some sort of co-pilot information somewhere, thought it might help.

I said it would take work. It would take guards in near by star systems that can be jumped to, to kill off runners. An operation not for the light hearted.

For this to work, you'd actually need Frontier to be on side, and develop some sort of "tractor beam" module that traps your target. Even with guards around other systems - there is no guarantee the runner would even spawn on the same island, even if they did land in a system with a guard.

Also, to be honest, I think you'll find close enough to 100% of players would pull the plug, or fight you to the death, that it probably wouldn't work unless you made a specific group where people were willing to do this sort of thing.

I know I certainly wouldn't follow you around the galaxy waiting to be thrown into an asteroid belt to fight someone else. I'd kill you, or you'd kill me, that is all.

Also, being "lower" ships, you'd probably end up just ganking newbies who would end up rage quitting. They'd then either move to Solo (too may people being ganked already, and too many people now play Solo for this reason), or they'd stop playing and fill forums with hate.

I see what you're trying to do, but I think you'd have better luck trying to get a "pit fight zone" set up, where willing participants can go at it, while others watch. Participants would need to drop 4 T of gold/platinum whatever to enter. Said cargo than remains floating until there is a winner, who collects it...

That is a great idea, hold down a star, possibly live stream when people show up. I really like where your going. Whenever a random flies in, he can be killed by the border guards so his cargo could be a prize. Betting is really what I would like to get at. I did something of the sort on a NVO server, worked out really well. Might be able to have the star be a part of a trade route, to gain more traffic.
