They can get to Deep Space just fine, but they can't already be declared when they do so, which means they won't be able to gain FP out there. Trying to get word as to whether that's working as intended, by the way.






Thank you for the efforts, and I'll keep watching for more info from you. I hope you will post here when you know?

Heck, if I get some info on it, I'll probably make a general announcement. People have been wondering about this issue for a long time now.

As far as your questions go, you can gain FP in space if you have a faction on the ground and then go overt in space. There is no combatant equivalent, however: you're either declared and open to PVP, in which case you can gain FP, or you're undeclared and can't.

Oh yes, before I forget, if you are factioned and wish to fight NPCs in space, do you get FP?
And is there such a thing as 'Combatant' in space? So only NPCs can attack you?
(questions from my wife, sorry )

In space there is normal and there is Overt. Overt allows FP from kills and opens you up to PvP combat. There is no in-between in space.
