Re: Possible Player Wipe

Well first I will talk about you not seeing battles. You happened to get on the server just a bit after we had ALOT of wars. A major one being the SF/TC vs. AW war. That one was very large. With a massive battle in Tau-37. I believe 12-13 people were in that fight. 7-8 SF/TC ships, 3 AW ships. Then another fight in Tau-31, 5 TC/SF vs 3 AW. (Yes, we usually have those odds. We got used to them after awhile..)

Then the DVL vs. AW war, which happened during the CUFF vs. AW war (though you could hardly call it a war, 90% of the time it was AW chasing after CUFF who wouldn't fight us.)

Then after that was the Bs| vs. DVL war.

After that wars settled down a bit for obvious reasons.. 4 wars one after another in the time of a month and a half..

You happened to catch the peace time. It rises and falls on Disco. The war season, and the peace season.



Now for the random battles and dueling. I guess you weren't on tonight, as 7-8 of us were in Connecticut having a friendly pvp/ffa. Where we had fights going on. Lots of dueling. Most memorable to me was the fight between me and Caylith's Dalamar Outcast cruiser. Came down to quite the match. Ended with my destruction and Caylith with sliver of hull left, somewhere around an 8th of a bar. (If only that last shot from my main gun had hit.. :P) Then there was the fight, or more the death.., of the Private Yacht Vidius against 4 phantoms, and 2 pirates. (If you can't tell I don't get even odds often..) And they had been pvping until I had gotten there. Then there are the Phantoms who are always fighting others around the galaxy, especially AW vs. Phantoms when it happens.


Now for the trading bit. We know trading right now is too easy, and the run everyone is doing is getting removed from the mod in the next version, and the other good run likely getting a reduction. We are fixing this problem. Also, the RP of traders is a sign of everyone. I RP-trade, trading only Zoner commodities or from Zoner bases. Atm I do both. My Private Yacht Vidius char, RP trades as it flies randomly around trading on random routes. Its meant to be something pirates can attempt to take on and gain alot of money.


Now about the bounty idea.. The admins don't do that. Players make bounties on other players, and then alot of freelance mercs and bounty hunters go after it, along with AW, as we are mercs, though we are mainly mercenaries that help in wars.

Though I do like the idea of mining being much more gainful. I think mining ships should be able to have a mining laser (100.00 refire) than can mine quickly, or the earlier idea of a mining mine. It shouldn't be as profitable as doing missions or trading, but it should still be profitable and relatively safe. As well as giving noobs a safe way to make money with lower priced ships. a 3 million dollar mining ship is much easier to buy than trading to a train.
