I dont think safe zones will neuter anything important, just the asshats and only then in the areas designated as safe.

One of the things that has always struck me with the anti safe-zone debate's usual suspects, is how most of the reasons quoted against the introduction of safe zones are in fact just a rewording of the exact tools used by HG and now MT asshats to be asshats in the first place. Its not the safe zones they object to, just their toys being shared.

As long as the mechanics exist to allow for consensual pvp in as many forms as possible, I think sz's will do nothing but increase the number of people playing the game and that will lead to more people choosing to pvp. So ironically safe zones will be great for pvp and not something that cuts its nads off.

If Jumpgate was a war game, having civilians would be retarded. Safe zones arent that big a deal, and if they make more people stay and feel safer and enjoy them selfs more, then surely we should welcome them.

Would you rather try to limit the types and numbers of players Jumpgate could possibly get just because of some sense of outrage at the fact you cant kill who you want when you want ?. You will have all of the other sectors to do that.

Jumpgate is like a bus and ND is the driver. We are just passengers. You might drive by a place you want to get off, but thats not the stop.

I have a system in place that shocks him with 10,000 volts through his keyboard but it seems to have made things worse. He's not human I tell you.

agreed ,

if u r going to limit the types of players u will limit the number and if u limit the number u limit the diversity.If u limit the diversity, u limit your own gaming options. if u limit your options, u limit your fun and if the fun is limited u limit yourself ... and well .. i assume that no one wants to be a limited person.

Jumpgate is a Massively Multiplayer Online Flight Simulator - set in space.
It's not an MMORPG - it's an MMO space flight and combat game.

So its not quite a all out war game, I always saw it as the above a space flight sim, which had a back story for war or more like cross faction tension, the real wars have been and gone GVB war being the one that comes to mind.

Saying that the only war I know off at the mo is the ongoing war with the Conflux, but hey now im just picking holes.

I don’t see anything discussed here that will stop an arsehole being a arsehole I doubt anything will be out in place to stop anyone from being so till a GM kicks em off the server.

and as long as its not breaking game mechanics, the kicking its not going to happen. besides kicking someone off the server will just increase the chance of losing a customer.

This is what happens to threads when theres nothing new to discuss.

Thats my point there is no way to combat it if they want to do it then they will ( and yes the only time im aware a gm has kicked any off was for cheating not being a ahole )
