Devs, let us engage in duels while aboard a POB ship. Let's hear some discussion.

I don't see why there is a limitation on doing this gameplay wise. Not sure on the mechanics of it though. If someone wants to duel on a ship, why not let them?

Yes, i would also love to pvp in space. The ships should have auto cloners in them.. or you just reappear in the cockpit. Whats wrong with that? I also think the option should be added when u duel to Friendly duel or PVP duel. I alrdy kno u can friendly duel by incap but if u lose 3 friendly duels ur PVP rating goes down. You should be able to DB with no Decrease in PVP rating. Then u could have PVP practices and PVP tournaments much better.

I always thought that the top room of our Sorosubs would make a great dueling ring, if you decorated the rest of the room correctly.

This isn't an issue with plasma-flame or /eject related deaths, so surely a similar system could be used for space-duels?

Actually if you watch the dang trailer on the main site they show a clip of people dueling abord a YT1300. Not that they care but that could be considered a bit of false advertising there

That would be good or the main area by the bar, with spectators on the balcony, nice big windows to see nebulas outside.

Originally, back in the JtL beta, you could duel in POB ships. But there was a problem... can't remember exactly what it was. Like the players would get stuck and couldn't move, or something like that. So dueling was removed.

well if u dont mind me saying, thats a crock full of $H17. they have a bug in the dueling system in space so instead of fixing it they remove the dueling system altogether for POB ships? am i understanding this correctly?


yay devs -_-
