PvP questions

[Johnx]

I can't find a place that explains the PVP options in their entirety. I do understand that people can choose different modes of play like singleplayer online and multiplayer, that you can be attacked and looted, and there is a criminal/bounty system similar to EVE. I have a couple questions about how these systems work:

1. Can you switch between multiplayer and singeplayer at any moment to avoid PvP? I really hope not.
2. Can you farm materials and build up an amazing ship in singleplayer with very little risk or danger that you can then take into PvP?
3. Can you farm materials in singleplayer at a reduced risk and turn around and sell them on a global marketplace for profit?

really hope to get some answers, I can't find any clear information on these topics.

yes to 1. No to number 2 and 3, you have just as much risk in single player as in all group.

You can change from single player to all group at will, you will continue to play in the same persistent universe.

Lots of information on this and this has been discussed to death, so I assume you are trolling, gave a real answer just in case you are not.

1. Not at any single moment, but the intentions seems to be that it will be fairly easy to switch. Not "in the middle of combat" easy though.

2. ED is a PvE game first so if single-player mode is significantly easier than multiplayer because of PvP they will have failed to make the game challenging enough. So the answer is "no", unless FDEV screw up.

3. There is no divide between the global marketplace and the single marketplace, they both have the same prices, so "no" again.

The answers are debatable.

1. No - currently only at login do you decide on MP/SP online
2. No - there are still NPCs. Obviously your opinion on them will vary.
3. No - the SP/MP online markets are the same.
