Police

Did you see any police ships in the space station ?

did someone, who attacked the station, see the police coming out to punish him ?

if not,

there will be the police ships like in frontier and original elite or only the space station automatic defence weapons ?

:S

if yes,

what kind of ship the police uses ? the viper like in the original elite and frontier or something different ?

Thre's a video of somebody messing about, and diving into the station, flying around and exiting without requesting clearance. He gets hit (hard!) by the station weaponry, and it looks like Federal fighters launch from the station t chase him down.

I'm sure as it's just the Alpha, they are happy to keep their powder dry on that side of law enforcement. Not much point in unveiling another ship until the Beta at the very least.

Although I haven't noticed any police in the video's that I've watched it has been confirmed that they will be in the game and there has even been pictures of vipers (the ship the police have) released. As far as them being in stations and coming out to attack you if you commit a crime well I dont think there needed in that capacity because the weaponry on the space station we've seen so far is lethal and more than a match for any ship so you better behave pilots or you'll die a horrible painful, but thankfully quick, death. :D

I hope Federal stations will launch those little starfuries... I mean fighters just like the capital ships do. They seem like an awesome solution to close in defence and rapid response needs.

I've seen a couple groups of 3 Federal Fighters circling the station almost every time I'm there.
There are patrols, yes. Vipers? Not yet

I'm positive someone mentioned that shooting up the station from the outside generates Condor fighter squadrons that try and kill you.

They are the little non-hyperspace-capable fighters some of the other scenarios have.

Something I liked to do in Elite was target the station with a missile lock. Fly way out into space, then turn around and launch all my missiles. Then wait for the swarm of purple dots to appear on the radar and see how long I could survive. Probably shouldn't do that in this game.

That was fun to do! Maybe we should suggest a GTA Wanted mode where you get more stars and the police ships get deadlier and deadlier :)

What I dont like is that when breaking some minor rule, then player is just obliterated :/
For example for flying onto dock position without clearance.

It is like bad parking but I didnt see anywhere that police show up and execute driver with barrage of lead. Even in silly usa where police are hyper gun nuts xD

If I would make scripts for police behavior I would make them try to follow player ship and talk to him over the radio and commanding him to stop. If pilot would not listen or would try to go into hyperspace then police would open fire.
If player would stop then player would be fined and asked to pay. Or commanded to go and dock and on station he would be fined accordingly.

I agree that getting killed for that is a bit harsh. They should just confiscate your ship. :)

And force to pay to get it back :) If player have no money to pay fine then he could make loan in bank :) Or if he would already be in debt then he could work in docks maybe as forklift truck operator. That would be fun xD

And make you fly an Atmospheric Shuttle around the local system doing odd jobs until you have earned enough to buy back your ship. Simple milk runs like transporting documents from one station to another, within the same system, or direct ship to ship transfer of goods.

Could it not be a bit more like real life, hanging around, they warn you to leave. You don't leave you get find 500. Still don't leave they fine you more. Still don't leave then they open fire with a shot to damage but not destroy you.
Keep taking the mick and they wipe you out.
It should be more gradual and take minutes not seconds.

I always wanted in EF2 to have that option to start in one system and earn money for real ship. But it would be not very easy and straight. There would be risk to make mistake like make some offense in traffic etc and I would need to pay fine. Also buying supplies, like weakly food supply. And fuel etc. also pay for ship maintenance.

Yes it would be tedious but I love hard games and not easy making job and after 1 hour be able to buy 2 times more expensive ship with best weapons available :/
I would love to have option to make game harder.

I agree. It would have more sense than "you cannot park there, you have few seconds to move away.... We dont give a flying **** that your engine was damaged.... We also don't care that you had to go to toilet!! TO LATE you are dead!" :)

I imagine a twenty spaceships of the police go out at the same time from the space station as a swarm of bees from the hive, with sirens shrieking and flashing lights
