So.. yeah, cross every server to make deep space for every server at once, there are only 2 people at a time on eclipse. I want to fight different people from other servers
not the same one OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER etc..
ok, i know this wont happen, and the reasons why,but i had to post anyway. =)

Actually what you ask for isn't really that bad an idea. There are some MMOs being developed now that embrace the idea of instanced cross-cluster battlefields. If I remember right (I read about this a few weeks ago), it's really ideal for Realm based games, that way you can have uneven numbers for each faction and when they go to fight they're evenly matched. Blah, I can't remember the details too well but it is a sound theory, and it would be cool to see something like that in space.

Why not create a different character on a different galaxy with more JTL action (like Starsider)? It doesn't take that long to grind up to master pilot, you start with 75k creds, and you can make more than enough to pay for your ships.

i would like to actually see one of these. but not have it in DS. but have a Zone that is cross server. Have no NCP's and just have it a PvP craziness for all pilots from diffrent servers to see who is best in the pilot seat. it would be sort of hard to impliment but i believe it would be fun.
hell make their be a goal for the sector. like make being their actually affect something in the game world.

at first i thought it a bad idea, because of the different resourses etc.
but after thinking for a milisecond, and as shipwrite i should know this, i am pretty sure that most ships on the different servers will be very similar.
i.e. most pilots will have thier reward items RE'd and while there might be some minor differences like this guy from A server will have a15.7 recharge rate and this guy from B server will a 16.5 recharge rate, its not like we have legendary Blasters dropping...
SO: i think its a GREAT idea!! i spend a lot of time in DS (finaly soloed the SD once a couple days ago using the nice intructions posted here by i forgot who.. it took me way longer than 5 minutsand it seemed that every other sub-component i destroyed spawned a hoard of Tie's that i needed to flyoff to the side and kill, but it was fun, ty) and i have only seen twice another player. so i very much doubt there will be a tremdous overload of players in a commen DS...

well considering you can use the same name on diffrent server this isnt realy possible unless they have away around more than one person having the same name at the same time in the same zone..

We could implement unique pilot IDs that are cross-server, so no one has the same name. I would welcome this idea to make space more interesting. And since we have cross-server tells, why not PvP?

Hmm, maybe they can allow EQ2 players in there too. Who wouldn't want to blast a gnome in the face with an Ion Cannon?

If this were technically possible, it might be a decent idea, but it wouldn't be without a lot of work. They'd have to buy a whole new server just for deepspace that is seperate from all other servers, and then they'd have to place it in a geopgrahically centered location. See, all the regular servers are all over the place, they don't have one single server farm. So a lot of people will have lag type issues. I'd say put this idea on the backburner for when the Devs have nothing better to do... and I'm not sure if that'll ever happen.

everything is technically possilby....it more the dedication/motivation to make it happen.
as for ALL servers... maybe not..but one central DS for each of the regions would be more appropraite.
ie. East Coast, West Coast..yadda yadda yadda.
I just want to see more major battles.
