So due to the lacking of people in Elite who want to pew pew why not create a group for people who do, without making them feel like space rapists? The PvE groups are huge so I can't see why this cannot be done. Duels can be organised, FFa zones implemented......For anyone interested in this idea I have a TS server to use if anyone is interested in discussing the idea come to TS or post here. TS3 103.4.16.132:9990 no PW atm.
PvP Group.....why not?

I think it will be exceptionally interesting to see how this thing plays out. All you folks that have been crying out about wanting to pvp, heres your chance to prove you didn't just want to grief the unarmed and unprepared and fight someone that wants to fight back. Or will this thread get crickets and reveal the cowards for who they are.

I'm a bit of a forum junkie and as far as I know this hasn't been suggested before, moreover It was my wife who offhandedly suggested it.
I think this is a great idea. It will go a long way to solving the problem of PvP guys not knowing if the target they are about to open fire on is a fellow PvP aficionado or a harmless trader who can't even spell PvP.
I suggested it last night

post 255, I am not an original thinker by any means, so I am sure it was suggested before. though no one seems to have taken up the challenge, well done for doing so!
Also, remember to make a post in the groups section so that people know where to find you!

I am down! This will be great. Can we stop at 5% hull to save on costs? Piracy pays %&+@ right now.
I don't think it will solve any problems in the game as such but I am running out of options for gameplay as larger ships hold no interest for me and without TS or forum communication pvp move often than not comes down to spoiling somebodies day and that's not me unless they come to anarchy in a trade ship.....and they do. But Credits are more easily earned than small acts of piracy on little rabbits.
Always been a One on One PVPer. Don't like big battles because it's just mayhem..... everyone bomb the hell out of this guy.... now this guy.... now him... uh oh... I'm the target of the other team.... and rinse and repeat.
One on One. There's tactics, there's strategy, that's skill. I'm sure the same can be said of group battles, but I just don't like all the mayhem.

Come to Teamspeak then, bring a beer and we can start nutting/fighting it out.
It's always sad to see people leave Open play.
It is indeed but this would be more of a chance for people to organize to throw down the gauntlet rather than play in a separate group all the time. We could just nominate an anarchy system as the PVP zone and play in open play, the broken matchmaking system would still make it a pvp zone especially if we are friends. I run into people on my friends list way too often for it to be by chance.
I think you will find the majority of those vocal about PvP are interested in killing unarmed players with their superior ships. A group with only these people would never work, who would they bully?
The open group is already a group where you can attack other players if you want to, the other groups exist to get away from this.
All that really needs to happen is have a few anarchy system designated as the pew pew zone, enter at your own risk, or is that how all of the anarchy systems should work?
There was discussion about it before. Back in early Premium Beta they were going to do it. Don't know if they ever did. They did set up a thread and meeting for competition sidewinder battles. I didn't take part since I'm not a PvP player. From what I heard, it was a bit hit and miss because of the instance grouping mechanic. At the time you had to all log in continuously till you were all on the same server and still didn't always meet anyone.
It might be better now.

It certainly has been suggested before, although normally as a reply to those people that want to see some sort of arena combat (I.e. The tools are there to set up your own private arena).
An alternative would be a private group consisting of opposed teams in a combat zone. Choosing a side would make it clear which team each person was on and the group could boot people that didn't play by the rules (what ever they might be). It might attract people that would like to pvp in consensual environment.

I hear what your saying about bullies and no doubt you are on the money, I often use a sidewinder to "get about" and have met a few of these dead people. Anarchy systems are indeed a place for PVP by nature but I want to narrow it down a bit and have some sort of coms with like minded people albeit through forums or TS seems the Dev crew are off eating their well deserved Christmas cake instead of finishing their game.
