Pvp matches.

Dude, what stopping you from getting some people to set up your own game, by your own rules? Plenty of ways to do that, but it needs a little more than clicking the "Battle" button. A brain.
No need for a sorry, But yeah I understand. I knew this forum post would be suicide but it's worth it.

Pick a resource gathering site or an asteroid belt somewhere and set it up. You don't need Frontier to do it for you.Wouldn't it be cool if they added some competitive matches to the game like Team death match? Capture the station/outpost, Hold the cargo! This list could go on, But aye you get the Idear.Love it or hate it tell me what you think!
I guess a group could be set up for this type of thing. But it would require a lot of good planning.
And "Race to Elite" isn't just as detrimental lol. But I get your point.
Probably more so, but once it's over, it's over. It's not another game mode.
If they didn't remove the bobble heads maybe a #1 trophy on you're dash
. But aye I understand thank's for the post.

Yeah I understand, I'm 100% sure it would never happen. It's just a moment of madness to see what the community thinks.
Yeah, It don't have to be a seperate mode, Just a space colosseum.
I actually like this idea quite a bit, and it would add to the universe too! Say you can only match up with people who are above a certain rank in a certain faction, and that these are combat simulations for training purposes. It would give people more reason to gain ranks within factions, and we could have more pvp action with objectives involved rather than just a standard deathmatch (which is all you would get if you just organised it yourself).
I love the idea of someone that cares about PvP (which isn't me) organising tournaments for people that want to PvP competitively.
There isn't any need for Frontier intervention to get this going though. Let me outline the plan I had come up with a while ago when I was considering this.
Every entrant pays an entry fee of a tonne of palladium (or other such fee as may be decided) the winner will collect all the palladium as a prize - I like the Top Gun line "Top gun is about combat. There are no prizes for 2nd place." Additionally, each pilot is responsible for having sufficient cash to afford the rebuy or repair costs of their ships.
24 hours prior to the competition, entries are closed. The number of entrants will be made up to the next power of 2 (4,8,16,32) with blank pilot slips, and then the first round matches will be drawn from a hat. A blank slip drawn against a player represents a bye, and that player will automatically advance to the next round.
The format for each match is as follows
Each match will be recorded and live streamed by the referee.
Defeated participants will be eliminated from the competition
As it stands, fitting rules would be relatively simple
1. Only the Sidewinder, Hauler, Eagle, Adder, Viper and Cobra hulls may be used.
2. No more than 1 shield cell bank may be fitted to a ship
3. Cargo holds must be empty
This would, I think, have the potential to be a popular competition if organised.

The format for each match is as follows
- A referee and the 2 players will meet in a designated anarchy system. The referee will scan each combatant ship to verify they are in compliance with the competition fitting rules.
- The referee will retreat from the combatants, and announce the start of the match on a shared voice chat between both pilots and the referee
- The match will continue until one of the ships is destroyed, or 15 minutes has elapsed.
- Leaving the area will be classed as a defeat

A deathmatch/arena mode from the main menu is something I would like to see. I wouldn't have it combined with the normal game, that would be stupid.
