PVP - what dont you like.

We see many posts about how good the pvp model in Jumpgate Classic is. But what I would like to know is what elements/aspects/mechanics of it do you NOT like?

How would you like the classic pvp model to change for Jumpgate Evolution, if at all.

Re: PVP - what dont you like.

Missiles. I'd like to see a wider variety of useful missiles, possibly with different effects. Perhaps something that would stop shield regeneration for x seconds if it hits, disable yaw control for x seconds if it hits, etc. Make missiles more useful then just most maneuverable or most damage.

Re: PVP - what dont you like.

just a pvp tag would be enough for me in just about any game.

I dont know if one would have to click on pvp to start his player, but i would hope so. But would accept clickable tags.

everything else ill let the shooters decide.

Re: PVP - what dont you like.

Reduce the efficacy of missiles. Make all ships have a breakpoint at full throttle firing either lasers/ions/ammo. Better profile balance.

Just rgulated PvP. Ripping civs should be unheard of in Jumpgate Evolution.

Re: PVP - what dont you like.

Bingo... remember.. there are times in which killing a civ is not only needed but a must. Otherwise then we get the usual 'hiding in the tags' game, but this time they wont switch tags, they will always be civ and run to reg after they have run their mouth.

Actions have consequences, if ur a good fella chances are that even in unreg people will appreciate that fact and even then you enter at your own risk, but not all civs should be granted total inmunity for their actions.

This is why the whole issue is not easy to code. Its bad thing to grant inmunity to civs just because.

The tag system. Scrap it! No safe zones, no artificial protection, etc.

Re: PVP - what dont you like.

Well, that covers all the extremes.

Compromise is for pansies!

Only in the pvp ability of miners and haulers. In Jumpgate Classic flying a mining or hauling ship is the equivalent of running around as a level 20 Alliance dude in a high level Horde area of WoW.

What don't I like?

I don't like Game Mechanics that get in the way of playing the game. IE, Military Tag System, Screwed up Bounty System, Combatants that hide behind a Civ Tag.

I could expand on this all, but its all been said before.

+1 for more useful missiles.

Re: PVP - what dont you like.

By not liking PvP in it's purest form, there isn't anything in particular that I hate.
If my enemy does not cheat or exploit I will find a way.
