As I've learned, It's next to impossible to have a descent ship at lvl 30 and it doesn't get much better futher on. The gaps between weapons classes are huge and newbies like me are constantly exposed to being harrased in a completely unbalanced way.
I am not against fighting on uneven odds and losing, but any fight is out of the question when other player can take my lvl 8 shield in two shots with his overpowered weapons. This just takes out any fun I may have.
I therefore propose to extend "no pvp" rule to cover levels beyond 30. At least to lvl 40, and maybe futher. As much as it is necessary to get newbies on a bit more equal footing.
