Who feels this way...I am tired of flying aimlessly in space looking for the loch ness monster of pvp. (Space Combat). At least on Intrepid I have trouble hypering from system to system only to find no overts. Kessel was a blessing, but at the time I was too low a level to use it. Now it's gone.

Can we have an on ship computer that tells us where recent overt sightings were and in what sector.

Just a thought.

on gorath, last week, during primetime i flew to each hyperspace jump point in the galaxy. i ran into SEVEN players total. none overt.

now, maybe the deep space thing will change combat. i certainly hope to find tons of masters there tonight provided the servers ever come up.

that being said, what can non masters do? one idea is to heavily push the idea on your galaxy servers for a point in the galaxy that players understand they should come to overt. i personally hate that idea, but it's worth a shot. another way of thinking says that we should hound the devs until they make it actually worthwhile to be overt in space. right now you get faction points, well why not triple the faction points awarded for a space kill while overt? 90 points per ship. it's not a great incentive but it could stimulate base and faction armor purchasing on the ground as well, something that is sorely lacking in the game.

Both great ideas. I tried the one about the sector for pvp. But no response other than some jokes. Go figure. Upping the faction or loot available to overts would be a great idea. Maybe they can have it to where overts in space can have NPC ships of a lower rank join the squadron. Like a pet?
