pirate mode 2.0

[lance]

after thinking this through a bit.... This system is lame. I like the "old" pirate mode because it allows you to jump people, and participate in unfair and fair pvps.... This will turn into an endless chain of revenge thats inescapable.

You should be able to turn Pm off at the hangar. So if you are just 1v1ing people, you still have the option to turn it off as to not get ganked.

Permenent PM (which is pretty much what this is) is not a good idea... Imagine a level 10-15 at aurora who is in pm and then cannot turn it off even though there is a level 60 in pm on the lz... That means he cannot land at all on that planet...

Its the same with clan wars. lets say I log on, turn pm on, then go around for a bit then log out... When i log back in, there is a clan war at earth lz. This means that, I either cannot land on earth AT ALL or I get podded. That is rediculous.

I admit PM is now only for the "hardcore" players but this is going too far.

It's not going far enough!

ok I'd say have like some way to PvP like a 1v1 and at CQs without turning Pm on...

Solution:
Challange Player Option (so you can like target them scan them and then somewhere on that "Pop-up" have a Challange Player Button.)

and then when your doing CQ...

Simply have it be your challanging all clans but allies (of course you can shoot allied clan memebers of course )

 

[peck]

Good idea Cody, this would also remove people jumping into an already finished pvp

Seems like each pirate will now have a price on its head and unable to turn off pirate mode but what does the pirate get out of it.....N O T H I N G ? Most likely. Only a fool would turn on pirate mode if your not going to make a fat rewards

 

[rubero]

how about only making it in some systems so in lower systems ppl can get skilled at pvps and stuff and don't get thrown into it right away.
like up to gemini the old system counts and from mizar to... the new system

 

[BucaneerBill]

Each planet should have a zone where you have to be a pirate to enter, with the best bps, highest level mantis and best energy. This is called Pirate Galaxy but there is not a SINGLE advantage to being a pirate only disadvantages and it is wrong! And that 5%-10% xp thing doesn't really count because a) No one knows how big it is and b) If it even exists anymore.

 

[peck]

people really do need a good reward if they are permanently stuck in pirate mode. Isn't it said world round that the greatest rewards have the greatest risks.

 

[rubero]

how about a cry generator.
i think that's a nice reward for being in pm, it doesn't have to be that much like 10 for a minute.

It's not only the lower level players that need pvp practice. MANY of the so called high leveller are really crap at pvp.


Go try it in the PTR to see for yourself. ptr.pirategalaxy.com

Well, i am very elite in my shock to take out not expecting storms, but i am really a noob when i have to take out another shock.

So, it's just how you fight.

taking out anything unexpecting in either a sniper, shock or storm is easy.... lol

Try going for some fair 1v1's against decent storm pilots to really test your skills. Im a shock pilot;

Im pretty good at shock v shock (won about 70%)
pretty good at storm v shock (won about 80%)
suck at sniper v shock (won about 20% LOL)
Won all my tank v shock (although I have pvpd very few... Someone with a good tactic would probably get me.)
well... shock v engi is a no brainer lol.

Although it really does have more to do with luck than anything... If you dont hit crits against a sniper there is no way you can win... If the orbital crits, your stuffed, If you hit loads of crits whilst they are stunned, they are stuffed. If you miss loads against any ship your stuffed...

back on topic... I hope this has been thought through... Ill test it on the ptr.

high players who cant pvp are boosted or gangers otherwise they would have experience in pvps. and i have tried it on ptr and all we did there was gang gang gang. this way you'll get high level players in sol (draconis) ships flying around looking for noobs stuck in pm.

And when your stuck in PM and tryes to get some E, 3 guys turn red in a sec and jump u.

Or when you just done a PvP and got no rep left, a noob turn red and kill u with a peashooter.

 

[Galm]

me and my friend took down a mizar storm with 2 vega ships he kept poddng me so we jsut popped him when he was low on health :mrorange:

 

[kozoe]

Il guess there will be verry few reds when the new system starts. who gonna take the risk of being podded when your in the midle of an sm or something.
