PvP in this game is pretty dull and while it is one of the best PvP gameplays I have seen in PvP games, the actual implementation is lame. There is no reason to do it and it's the most expensive and challenging career. On top of that, the netcode doesn't allow for proper PvP as it doesn't fulfill the minimum requiernments in regards to stability and performence. High pings and frequent crashes as well as rubberbanding and most importantly deinstancing issues plague the every day life of a PvP player.
FDev also has not announced any plans to develope meaningful PvP gameplay and a good margin of the PvP community doubts that FDev understands their own game enough in order to do so.
Before you even start I'd highly suggest to abort and do a 180° turn to EVE if it is PvP you are looking for.
PvP may be dull for higher tier players, and I am sorry for that. However, believe it or not, new PvP players do come to fruition in Elite Dangerous, perhaps not as often as I'd like. Just because the PvP mechanic has remained somewhat static does not mean that the wonderful combat flight model is not being appreciated. The flight mechanics of Star Citizen and Eve do not compare.
I very much sympathize with those that are tired of metas and weary of FDLs. However, there is one asset of Elite Dangerous PvP that is terribly underrated and ignored.
And that is the players themselves. I have met very very few PvP pilots that I do not like and certainly none that I cannot work with. In fact, I find most to be very impressive and delightful human beings. Yes, even the unlawfuls. heh
If all of we PvPers can miraculously find a way to work together, I think we can create content in spite of the lack of development. We don't have much choice anyway.
If any of you have any viable suggestions, I would happily volunteer to help you.
