PvP Options

[Thunderguts]

Have area's we can go to for pvp that allows us to stake some if our credits and not gain any wanted sanctions. This wager some would go to the winner of a battle and some kept back to pay for insurance for the looser. This could take place in a dedicated area in systems so people who want to take part can and those who don't can stay away.

Maybe have a place to post challenges that apears on the news thread whilst docked at nearby systems. Example "Cmdr Thunderguts is at sol challenge area. Waged 20,000 credits"

This would be displayed at all docks within say 50ly range of players location?

What's your thoughts?

Have setting for number if players, number on each side, ship classes ect

even gambling for virtual currency would have a real world impact on the markets that ED can be sold in, that said there is nothing to stop you setting up your own PvP contest with a prize purse.

i would suggest the best place to do it would be a few km outside the no fire zone of an outpost that has repair facilities and a commodities market as that way you would have a known point in space to meet at as well as somewhere close that you could repair and rearm between rounds, as well as pay off the small bounty you get for shooting a clean ship. it wouldn't need to be a death match, you could decide that the first person whose hull goes below 50% is the loser, this also avoids the larger fines you get for making a kill and the expense of replacing a ship.

you would need a third party to act as the bank and hold cargo to the value of the entry fee from each ship so it would be best to set it up as a private group but i could see it being a lot of fun for everyone involved.

If you want to do that, just arrange it. We do not really need Battlegrounds alá WoW do we? If we do then Blizzard has a LOT to answer for as they have removed the ability for players to have a sandbox to play in.

Also many countries do not allow any form of gambling, whether credits or real money.

I'd oversee those for a slice of the action, and actually think it'd be MORE fun without a specific, safe game-place to do 'em. Like an illegal boxing match, never know if the cops or bounty hunters will show up and bust things up.

Just make it happen...and message me if you do.

Yeah I can see your points about the gambling aspect. Just don't want players getting their career marked with a wanted level. I was not thinking a dedicated battle zone just somewhere where the cmdrs who don't want to fight can stay away from.
