Thread: Cross Server PvP Event
Might have just been something for during Beta, and maybe right after JtL launch then. Blast.

I like this idea, and have comment to add to it: Are the Noob instances of the 3 starter space sectors still active?
For those who do not know what I'm asking, at one point if a new pilot launched, he went into a different instance of space then higher level pilots. You don't launch into 'normal' space until you've completed the 4 entry pilot quests. Thus, if Noob-Space is still active, I don't think we have to fear higher level party crashers.
ive never hear of that, and any time i was on a new toon doing the intro missions i would see other players in ships beyond tier1.
when i created my starsider toon and launched into space the very first time, i was greeted by a KSE offering his help.

I remember what Loki is talking about, but I don't think it still applies. I do remember not being able to group with others.
no, i think keeping the ships the same would work best. this is strictly flying. not modifying the best.
It'll be just like XvT.. Z95's were slow.. it'll be a lot like that. you shoot 3 times pull a move and shoot again. drop down to best turning speed and try and get on their tail. what's not fun about that?

well the ships are not only slow, but extremely unresponsive. evasive manuvers are futile. it will be a head on fight where luck determines the winner. also there is no "best turning speed' in that ship, it turns like crap from 100 to 50% throttle and worse as you slow down more. and there is no way to limit ship equipment anyway. anyone could throw in mkII shields and armor to get a huge edge on people packing a 300dmg gun and no droid since the prototype ship wont let you load it.
just go with unrestricted prototype z95s. stay with the prototype ones since they dont allow droids (someone with all ol4s would whip up on other people).

i would try dueling someone in a stock prototype ship if i were you to see just how mindnumbingly boring it is.
the idea of this event is for it to be a contest of skill, and there is no skill in involved with those ships, it comes down to who shoots first.
it would be very tactical though. if you had a good team that would work together, you could win decisively.
That's exactly what I'm looking for. It should be based all on pilot skill and teamwork, and nothing on the ships. We have plenty of other events for that 
I will try dueling someone later. I just went and flewa starter on a random server and they really don't handle or respond that bad. The problem of course is that they are still really slow, so you might be turning a lot, but not really going anywhere anyway.
And come on man, it involves no skill, its only who shoots first? Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah...every one who sucks at JTL and comes up and tries to fight people like us and get killed in one shot. That's their excuse. You and I know better, and I'm sure it will end up the same with these ships.
I'llget some people to test this out before we actually do it of course, was just posting to guage interest and it seems like there is some.

I'm interested, but i do think starter ships will be like fighting in a sopwith camel with 2 bolt action rifles strapped to each wing
No, just the parts are. The noob ships have the same speed / acc / deac / PYR acc as the JSF. If the responsiveness of the noob ships is an issue, then we recruit SWs on that server to craft a whole lotta Mark I engines.

If it happens, count me in. We can all have a good laugh.
