Suggestion for dueling

[YSoSerious420]

I was thinking a dueling system could be integrated. Insurance would be waived for both parties. This would be a in game feature you simply choose your ship and load out and how many creeds you wanna lay on the line. You can choose to risk everything or nothing have a duel simply for the sport. No matter how far away you are from a player the game would throw you in a system together and afterwards you both would be returned to the last location. Feel free to add suggestions constructive crictism etc this is just a rough idea

Sorry for my entry but I wouldn't like that. It would seriously ruin the immersion of the game - but that's just me, let's see what others think.

I don't like that idea either for similar reasons.
Not really sure about it

Maybe you could purchase 'duelling' weapons that don't actually do damage, but it would be complex to set up a duel using an in game setup.

You could just agree not to kill each other, taking the opponent to 10% or something, it's awkward.

They could implement some type of "virtual dual thing" where you seem like you are attacking each other but its just virtual reality.

Meet up with a friend and dual to first to take the shields down for a bit of no-risk PvP. In the future if we can give money there's nothing to stop an entirely player-organised dualing competition, but "chose a ship, no risk" seems a bit too easy.

 

[CreepyD]

That sounds like a better idea.
I did see someone at a nav point and would have liked to 'duel'.
Dueling has no risk attached though and therefore diminishes the skill of a good pvp killer somewhat if you can just get those skills by easily dueling many people.

Don't like the initial idea. Completely inappropriate for the concept of the game. Perhaps if there were some 'simulator' you could use when docked at a space station it might make sense, but actually out there flying in the void, no.

 

[YSoSerious420]

Well it would be completely voluntary between two ppl. And all you have to do is check the boards when you dock something along those lines. The virtual simulator actually sounds lik a better idea. It's just so people can pvp others in a more convient matter and at no risk to both parties unless they choose the risk. You could add settings like you must be willing to risk paying your own insurance. Etc.

Thinking a bit further on what I suggested, if again it becomes possible to transfer credits between players then it would be possible for someone to organise a real knockout dual to the death, pay a fee to enter, winner takes it all, so potential high gain and high risk competition. It would need organising on the forums and an honest organiser not to take the cash and run (and be the top of everyone's hit list!). And all (almost) possible without any additional game mechanics, one of the nice things about building a sandbox world.

No thanks, I turn off dueling requests in other games as I have no interest in them.
