So you want to make an Instance in Eve which allows two player to fight. I don't understand why this is even in development. This idea is everything that Eve isn't. Eve isn't fair, Eve isn't safe. Its one server where anyone can shoot anyone. You are basically taking one of the core values of the game and smashing it with a Theme park MMO hammer.

One question: Is this limited to low/null sec or can it be deployed in high sec as well?

This isn't a way to get rid of non-consensual PvP. It's a way to let people have consensual fights in a place where loss is meaningful.

There's an appetite for it, after all. (See RvB, for example).

I can see this replacing highsec duels, or just being a way to mess around on Sisi, either way +1 and let the bitter vet "slippery slope" tears commence, actually it seems they've already begun since people seem to fail to understand that this ISN'T ON TQ.

If you ever introduce this to TQ you will literally have killed EVE. This is completely anti-sandbox

Have you ever wanted a little pewpew but didnGÇÖt have the time to find a fight, or even fit a ship?

Reminds me of the same argument Americans use whenever new laws are enacted.

"Some guy 300 years ago created a set of rules, how dare we even consider breaking those rules!"

Ideas evolve. This doesn't take away a single facet of the game, it simply adds the ability for two willing parties to engage one another without the chance of trickery.

One might argue this separates them from the EVE universe and so another person - unrelated - would not have the ability to interfere if he so pleased. This is wishful thinking. Two parties can already warp to a safe and engage in a duel, thus not allowing anyone else to realistically interfere.

All this does is removes the ability for one of the parties to use trickery in gaining an advantage. That is something they are agreeing to, which is their right.

Stop trying to force us to play by your ideas, when nothing we are doing is affecting you.

thinking further on it depending on how it is implemented and how much you can mess with it from the outside (even if not the match directly) such as bets and throwing fights perhaps it could be cool and a great way for corps/alliances to train new players in PvP.

Great, so now when I am flying around in FW lowsec looking for frig fights, instead of finding mostly stabbed and cloaky frigs, I will find ONLY stabbed and cloaky frigs. All of the players who would normally be venturing out into FW systems looking for fun fights will instead just stay docked in the hubs. If this ends up on TQ, it will kill frig PVP.

The training aspect is certainly true. In our first encounter testing it, I whooped Veritas and now he remembers to overheat! I assume he used this knowledge to take down Habakuk this morning

is this really the crowd you think should be rewarded?, do you really think sugar coated bullshit pvp is going to add anything to the sandbox?

the end of most rvb activities for a start.

Honestly I see it like the following,

What happens when you're a new player with no experience in PVP yet you want to learn how to be more effective at flying your ships. Your friend invites you to the dojo so that you can practice a bit more before heading out into the wild and PVP properly against all kind of matchups. Suddenly the quality of pilots rises because they learned better how to fly, making your PVP life more challenging and exciting.

Win/Win across the board, provided it's implemented with no rewards or benefits to other people.

Citation needed.

Seriously, IF this EVER went from a prototype stage, it wouldne come close to killing RvB. We'd just integrate into the toolbox we have and move on. Its useful for 1v1s, useful if ever expanded for tournaments, yet doesnt stop the whole fleet aspect of our pvp, which tend to have 10-50 people per side going at it.

Okay fine, so you're admitting it'll kill the 1v1s? That's bad enough. And do you REALLY think if this takes of that this will be the end of it? Of course it ******* won't be, next will be fleet arenas.
