stopping the boosters.

[lance]

OK, this is pretty simple. My idea to stop people boosting the sm's. I have not found flaws with it so far, but that is why i am posting it here.

here it is

you can only squad with people with the same rank ship as you.

This would make boosting, especially in the later systems, impossible.

I dont think this would effect pvp or conquests in any way, as you all use the same ships for that.

However. Imagine a noob in a mizar ship wants to do mars sm's. He can only accept the sm if all his buddies are also in mizar ships, making the mission just as hard as he would find it solo.

You cannot change ships if you are in a squad, unless you are changing to a ship of the same rank.

For example, someone in a squad cannot change from a mizar to a sol ship, but can change from a mizar engi to a mizar storm.

harvester killing to boost levels would not be impossible, but made a lot harder as the noob would have to get to the good harv killing places without the squad (he cannot land on leader).

This means that "helping" people with missions would still be possible, but the missions would be no easier for the helpers or the people being helped.

Pvp wise, all the highest levels always squad first, so it would not mess up pvp in any way.

Ideas people? ^^

( i know this will get shot down by all the clans who love to boost people but to be honest thats your fault not mine.)

Why do i get the feeling that splitscreen will go for this?

because it stops a problem without causing a problem probably.

No thanks, what "problem" are you talking about? Also may I inquire as to how you got to Sol? I presume somewhere along the line when u were a noob in a system that you got help with some SM's, I mean would still be in my gemeni ship and stuck on one of the 1st SM's on baumar if someone of a higher ranking ship couldnt help me.

is it just me or dose this seem like the kind of thing someone would suggest to keep others from getting to where they are? no way no how will i support! ever hear of helping clan mates! same system or lower on sms already and that is fine!

lance, do you realize how much some players was annoyed by the fact that the system story missions, and standards, was altered to only be possible to help in the system ship or lower, now if you suggest this would affect allover, and not only with sm's, it is not something what most players will go along with, nor to like.

People like to have a free choice of using the ship they have achieved, and purchased, and earned after hard work without to be forced to use a lower ship/tech on higher system.
That would be very unfair for all players.

This is a suggestion that will not be accepted by other players, and I doubt it will be by any devs either.
The restrictions what now exists, are simply enough for the game.
