it might make it easier for the vets but it'll close the skill gap if anything.
Haha no.
Lyth, he's right.
I played on the Crossfire server aswell.
Because of the bloody guns the NPCs were tougher to kill than the damn players I fought against.
They players just died in 3 seconds because I had some retarded 360 dmg 8.33s that went at 1100 speed. Because of my ship I basically had infinite energy too. I didn't even need to dodge; just rmb and I win in less than a minute.
That's not fun for me, nor the other player involved. I ditched those dumb guns and took some original CERBERUS codes instead.
But yeah, no. Someone who's anything but absolute trash in PvP will destroy everyone they come across if they have fast guns. Damn, for some people it's already very easy to kill people with those 600 Magma Hammers. 700-800 Magmas will just kill everything. :|
It won't close the skill gap. It would make it worse.
Now, uh, Thunderer has a point. Kinda' hard for a new player to get into snub PvP if they get trashed constantly.
I did it because I absolutely adore Freelancer as a whole but hate flying Caps. Or Bombers. I despise it so damn much that vomiting sounds like more fun than flying a cap.
Anyway, yeah. If we want the new guys to get the feeling of snub pvp we'll need something for them to use against the vets. Which I'm sure won't exactly work but whatever.
If even the newbies can use it, then the vets will destroy everything with it.
If the vets will destroy everything with it, the 'normal' guns will become useless.
Unless there's a way to keep the other guns useful while making the newbies something that the vets can't kill without any trouble, then this game will become a lot more boring than it already is.
