Hi Commanders,
At the moment, there are only two things that keep me playing Elite: the amazing Archon community and PvP.
I have realized long ago that unfortunately, until FDev changes the way PowerPlay works, there aren't many opportunities to PvP while grinding merits for the sake of Lord Archon.
However I took a break yesterday and headed to one of the most popular bounty farming grinding spots in ALD space and oh Gosh, I hadn't had that much fun in a long time!
The supercruise was crawling with Imperial commanders of all sizes, all ranks. And if empty, I just had to drop back and forth to the only hazardous RES (where all other commanders head to) of the system to resume my rampage. I focused only on anything bigger than an Asp, or/and higher than master and ended up with a bounty on my head around 200k after 2-3 hours.
Some commanders hated me (one even made the wrong choice to insult me...and I ended up taking him down twice in the no fire zone of the station after he had respawned), some were glad to encounter me and came back to supercruise testing different ship configurations.
I wish the game could be like that all the time, that the mechanics would give some real incentive to PvP...but while we wait for this to happen, would some of you be so kind and share their favorite PvP spots, if possible within ALD / Patreus (EDIT: and Aisling, how could have forgotten her!) territory, since they are our direct enemies?
--------------------------
Here is mine (suggested by cmdr Kaz**y):
SYSTEM NAME: GENDE
Main activity of the system: Bounty farming
Alignment: ALD
Large stations: Yes
Large planetary ports: Yes
Economy: High Tech
Anarchy: No
Hazardous RES (no security!): Yes
