You can't make a 96 speed engine under 10K mass. If PvP decay remains, then people will not risk their irreplaceable components. It's a simple fact.

That's the main reason I'm flying almost exclusively in Deep Space now. What's sad is that even though there's zero decay in Deep Space, it's still empty. I posted on the Gorath forums offering two million credits to the first person to destroy me in pvp last night. Only one person showed up.

Since im at home now, ill repost it here i guess. Just my 2 cents, everyone has idea's, here's mine:

A series of ideas just hit me.

Ill start from the ground up, bear with me, each point builds upon the previous point.


1.) It now takes a minimum of 6 to 8 people grouped in deep space to be able to destroy the ISD or space station. The game simply wont let you destroy it until you have that group. Once this group assembles, every ace pilot on the opposing side recieves a system message that a large strike force has beeen seen massing and will attack position in 10 minutes. ISD or space station will not be attackable until this 10 min window expires. This is to give the defenders a chance to defend, as the consquences are serious. The ISD or space station shall have a random timer that makes it respawn anywhere between 18 to 24 hours.

2.) If the ISD or space station is destroyed, every space station in the galaxy that faction owns (other than factional deep space stations) are now attackable. Each space station now has its own turret defenses. At this point, All other factional pilotts is now given a system message to scramble to defend or press the attack. Attacking a space station will make you PvP enabled if you choose to partcipate. While the ISD or space station is destroyed, there is no PvP decay in any space sector.

3.) All normal space stations must be destroyed before the defending factions deep space station can be destroyed. Again, they must all be destroyed in a 3 to 4 hour window. Once this 3 to 4 hour timer expires, the chance to control the galaxy is lost until the ISD or space station respawn sometime in what would be 20 hours from that point.

4.) whichever side manages to destroy the deep space objective, all factional space stations, and the deep space station, they will now control the galaxy for the next 18 to 24 hours. Obviously all master mission will have to wait until that time expires. After said 18 to 24 hours, everything is reset to default. This is to prevent one side from constantly controlling the galaxy.

5.) Whoever controls space should be reflected on the ground somehow. Hlowever the consqequences or rewards in space are already high, and have a direct impact on the game.

Just to throw my two cents in... I totally agree! Another way to make it more special, would to have fighters of one faction "attack and disable" the station, and a freelance pilot in a Multi-Person ship must dock to take it over... Similar to those old Star Wars Flight Simulators, like X-Wing Alliance.

It would add so much action to this space expansion.

I agree also but you are the millionth person too say it. I guess it can;t hurt to repeat it over and over again.. mabye a DEV will se it !
