Make PvP a part of the game.

dailatron

I wont say where but, there was a place where PvP actualy ment something and people played it as part of the game.

Rather than the "kill Solrain fighter and above" missions we might be lucky to get now. Id like to see a "Defend Purian Lake sector" for the Sols and "take and hold Purian sector" for the Octs, for instance. Or a "run like a girl" mission for the quants, oops sorry I digress. But for squads. PvP just got boring for me on this server towards the end, not being a stat padder I couldnt see the point of fighting just for the sake of it.

While writing this I thought of an add-on. I cant remember where the ore depot in Sol space was but lets say its PL. Squad OV gets mission to take and hold PL (with ore depot) because of this the depot now starts to hoard ore. OV now has the chance to either bring in their own hauler or invite another Oct to come and get the ore.

Ofcourse this type of mission availability would have to rely on a certain number of pilots online from both factions to lessen exploit potental.

There, PvP and the econ brought together. Im a freaking genius

I couldn't agree more. That's what the MT system was intended to fix -- but it was never finished and most of the PvPers didn't care about "cause" they just wanted to fight.

Injustice

Official squad missions, taken by squad leaders, which work just like regular missions except they apply to everyone in the squad. Goals like defending certain sectors (PvP), clearing out the swarms (PvE), and resupplying certain stations with specific mats (econ). Completing squad faction missions could contribute to an "overall squad faction rating". Said rating would dictate were and how many POS's a squad could place in that factions territory.

Sounds good. But what about rewards? People will not do missions if there aren't any rewards.

I remember a game called Majesty (I think), where you (the king) assigned some task (exploration, killing a monter) as a mission and NPC heroes would do it for a specified payment. I think maybe that kind of model we should use. Not only within a squad, but for pilots in general.
