As would I in pressing PG - all the benefits of multiplayer, none of the drawbacks. A true win-win situation
The Hazards of an Explorer.

- Start date
This is why I always say that if you have notoriety there should be no insurance option if you die. The insurance company will void your policy.
Would be nice if murderers would become hostile to the local authorities and if they continue to murder at some point also the faction, then empire etc. That would solve startport camping to some extent.
More aggressive security ships in SC would help to to keep the system too.
You could always go the cheap ship for open route, that way if you do meet an attacker you lose next to nothing and they get all the glory of destroying something of little value or threat, and all your nice ships are safe in PG.

This I quite like. Although it probably wouldn't deter gankers that just engage in seal clubbing, because there's little chance they will face a rebuy in the first place.
And there's still clogging.
That is fair.
Unfortunately being an average pilot with average engineered ship would cause a higher rebuy rate. But that is a personal issue.
Still would prefer more control and protection by ingame mechanics to protect the less experienced or skilled players in "high sec" systems.
If it wasn't bad it wouldn't be classed as a crime and it wouldn't give notoriety.
While I agree with you that the proposal is... let's just say somewhat over the top... Killing is seen as bad in the game world - you get bounties for it, that's a negative thing.
So, not quite true there.
There's a load of cool things they could do with criminal gameplay which would not only make it fun for the criminals, but also make interactions with them much more interesting for none criminals.
I don't think Frontier are too interested though.
Thats what I tried to say... what does murder even mean when you get your face melted by the station when you forgot to hand in your missions in time? Do you think the station gives a crap whether you have any exploration data packed? Why is being shot by a player such a big deal when stations murder you because your advanced docking computer has an advanced seizure while you are making coffee?
ED's world is like this: There are no murderers, so everyone is a murderer.
Btw, what you mentioned is sort of there already. Start murdering, and you'll see
They tied it to the ship that does it though, not to the one who flies it.

This is something that I think EVERYONE agrees on, from the most evil-looking clownfaced murderhobo to the prettiest carebear "We are the World" singing explorer.
Personally as a BGS killer (i.e. I blink and 50 cops die) it would ruin the game- how would BGS murder or violence work?
Me too, even without a block feature (though there would be hesitation, LOL). Then again, I say this with 3+ years experience, which I think everyone takes for granted.
And I was lucky when I first started, because we ALL first started the same day (PS4), so there were no gankers in those early days - just a bunch of noobs in Sidewinders heading out on a mass exodus. I've never been a ganked as a new player who is still trying to figure out how to fly and dock, so I (and a lot of you) have got to really put some effort into "walking a mile in their shoes" before dismissing a new player's complaints about ganking.
If you do it right, it won't give you notoriety
Separate the notoriety type you get from killing NPCs vs killing players. NPC notoriety could decay faster, like the current rate.

Which takes x4 as long if you assault people, or smuggling. The former is IMO a loophole, the latter is fine- but it is amusing that killing is so heavily nerfed when its the most risky.
This. No everyone wants to game to just be fluffy bunnies holding hands skipping across open meadows. I murder the hell out of NPCs for BGS if it is required to futher the interests i support.
If anyone wants a totally safe, easy game, play solo, get engineered, have almost no danger at all. Have fun, some others quite like there to be actual risks in the game, and gankers are part and parcel of that, imo.
Nuh-uh. Cripple it to 1% (or 10%, or w/e) shooting, then ram it
I also played from day1 on PS
But they even made a noob zone for noobs now, stay in the noob zone if you are a noob would seem a good idea?
Nuh-uh. Cripple it to 1%, then ram it
Thats a bit hard to do when a wing of ATR are saying hello and I have to kill a mark in 5 seconds flat
But also thats a loophole that needs fixing.Noob zone needs engineers to make this argument a good one. I don't think there is any build a player can leave the noob zone in that will survive a gank attack, but I could be wrong.
