It is hyperbolic, because the categorization you use for it is hyperbolic. Regardless, its semantics. The game just needs Fdev to actually care about it and properly integrate systems together, and create proper incentives for everyone.
For starters making High security or Medium security meaningfull.
Agreed. Security should mean something
Black list is poor game design. It's means outside of the game.
And blocking is not a ganker remedy, anyone can block anyone.
Its cheap. And does its job. And that seems to matter for Fdev most.
For example I don't care if I get blocked by ganker. That does just the job I would otherwise need to do myself.
Cheap yes, but it doesn't do the job. It distorts the game.
For the gankers. Not my problem.
Welp, got "some" engineering to add to all the other engineering I've been procrastinating withHere you go. Just keep 4 pips to sys when being shot at.
After I unlock prismatics.
Though there's still issues that engineering won't help with, like too many interdiction (attempts) every time you jump in the handful systems where all gankers spend their time.
Gonna be hard to participate in a CG if I have to high wake out of the target system every time, innit ?
They did so from the start. We have our Solo, Groups and blocks, you have your CQC and Deciat griefing.
Everyone is happy.
And maaaayyybe station defenses shouldn't be all or nothing.
Jaywalking while inside ? Believe it or not, instant death.
Killing everyone 100m out of the slot ? Time to send that one stock Viper MkIII.
Not for the gankers, for you.
There's no definition of ganker, or they'd just be removed from the game.
You use the black sheet to disable enemies that are difficult for you.
An idea ive had for security levels.
Security means an NPC system security send you a wing request when you enter the system to fill out your current team (if you already have a player in a wing with you they would put 2 more with you so its 4/4 team slots filled, if youre by yourself you get 3 NPCs, etc ). So if you get interdicted or drop for any reason they drop on you immediately via wing beacon, and can call reinforcements. If you leave the shipping lanes for an "extended period" they drop and they leave once your ship docks at a station if youre going A to B. Security level could determines what ships they fly and how engineered they are. Could even have fun and use imperial/fed/alliance ships when relevant for the NPCs based on PP/BGS. Throw in some fun radio chatter for flavor when they request to join, leave, etc.
Security Levels
High: NPCs are flying full g5 engineered combat ships. One of the big ships are there for mass lock, and the rest are combat mediums. You they fill out any gaps in your team, and call reinforcements immediately.
Medium: NPCs are in g3-g4 engineered ships. mostly mediums, you might get a small, might get a large, varies (population maybe?). Calls reinforcements only if a NPC is lost.
Low: NPCs are in g1-g2 ships. Mostly smalls and maybe a medium, vaires (again population could effect it). Calls reinforcements if 2 NPCs are lost.
Anarchy: Functions as it does now.
Instantly changes the math attacking players in a system.
Whats that? you need a lore reason for why players get this? Pilots Federation membership perks.

Its is not a problem for me if I eliminate unwanted nuisances from my game play. I don't play for competition, I play for my fun.
You seem incredibly salty for someone claiming to be happy lol
I beg your pardon?
I'm very realistic, and if the reality is not up to your liking, it's on you.
I am happy with the game and don't pester the forums asking FD to change the foundations of their game to suit my whims.
Seems like you have explicitly told pvpers to get lost, and yet Fdev made it a foundational part of the game. Yet here you are crying about it.
If there's a hole in your drywall, do you duct tape it? Why not, it's cheap and does the job? Seems there something to be said for fixing issues in a meaningful way.
You sure you know what you're writing?
I have never told PvPers to get lost, I play Solo/Group and made them lost from the day one. The ones who cry are PvPers who can't hunt me, and throw tantrums "no one wants to play with us".
You still don't realize how the things are, and who is crying?
