I still think that having concord titans bridge enemy fleets into otherwise inaccessible pockets (two fleets enter, one fleet leaves kinda thing) would be excellent fun, with an appropriate matchmaking and anti-griefing system.

Just boils down to what you mean to do when you go out to pvp.

If your version of leet pvp is ganging up on people, the current system is fine. If your version of pvp is to actually try and get a good fight, the current system is sorely lacking.

Just depends on what you're looking for... skill testing or a padded killboard.

Nothing says the two systems are exclusive options. Those who like to camp gates and kill the people passing through can still do exactly that... ratting and mining remain a thing.

I for one support a properly implemented arena, for good fights. PVP fleet against PVP fleet, solo against solo, small gang against small gang. There's more risk to all who participate because they aren't fighting in a situation where they've stacked the odds against their opponents.

The alliance tournaments are a thing already. That is an arena.

My thoughts exactly. What I am expecting is to give that "almost" free experience of pvp. In other games where there is no real cost of pvp like in EVE, the adrenaline ratio might be not that high, but still, there is a lot of competition and people are serious (ofter too serious) about winning. This can be exactly same thing here. You will always have that feeling of participating in staged simulation battle, but atleast you will experience it and/or get some know how.

With what Bjorn said earlier, i was expecting this thing was an idea before, but i was hoping i could get a new light, or some new ideas for beginning. Test server seems to be offline most of the time unfortunately.

No matter where you are i can come get you

For the sake of the discussion it would be better if there would be something more than just "no" for a comment.

What else is there to say? It's an idea that directly contradicts fundamental concepts of EVE. If you want arena-style PvP feel free to make an in-game organization that arranges it. But at no point should CCP enforce things like preventing the competitors from cheating.

Btw op, have you tried Fractured Space? Very good game.

A simple "no" doesnt give me a proper feedback.

I have not heard a single argument that this cannot be an option in a game.

It there was an option to train yourself for the pvp

Has been suggested hundreds of times before, and each time met with a resounding no.

From a RP perspective: pirate factions organize these tournaments in certain systems. Players go there, transport or buy ships there, then they wait in space or in station, until opponents are found by the game and are given coordinates to warp to. Everything else is details.

The fight zone cannot be scanned. This is the biggest complaint I heard in the past about my idea. Solution: if the tournaments don't exist players would not be flocking to certain low sec systems to fight in safes and get dropped on in the first place. There would be nothing to be scanned down by the hardcore EvE players annoyed by my suggestion. But there would be more activity around that system and increased chances to catch players when they are not fighting. They still lose their ships when fighting.

Once in the safe zone they can't warp out until the enemies ships are destroyed. Also the safe zone has a duration of ~ 1 hour, after that the safe zone disappears, and the fighters can be scanned down. There are no decisions by the game about who won, just this safe zone creation, the ones that still have a ship are the clear winners. This would keep things simple.
Prizes and other stuff, maybe betting, can be sorted out later. Yes, I proposed in-game tournaments in the past, I propose it again.

I dont get it, you allow people to do WHATEVER they want since it is a sandbox, but apparently doing arenas (a more organised way to throw a small tournaments) is a condradition to doing whatever they want. Can you see the paradox here?
