Why is PvP so damn difficult?

[Shelco]

I strongly agree with removing Conn for PVP. Let factions train against each other ingame. It's still useful for transfers.

I don't think that this is a good idea. Conn is an important part of Discovery which is as beloved as it is because you don't need to meet up with factions inRP and handle stuff out and simply let the RP fall back a bit and just pew. Freelancer is a PvP game with an RP aspect, removing the only thing that grants you the freedom of pvping without RP beforehand will be met with a strong disapproval by people who use Conn the way it was intended to. The only restriction I could advocate would be opening Conn only at specific hours in the evening. Activity is usually high enough in the evening so that a considerable part of the players can shoot their minds out while a far bigger part does the roleplay.
