Toman Jerich Ars ex Discordia GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.08.06 21:25:00 - [1] This is pretty simple change. Everyone in high-sec space should be un-attackable by default, UNLESS they intentionally flag themselves for PVP. Basically, attempting to activate weapons or hostile modules against someone in high-sec who is not flagged for PVP should result in an "I'm sorry, I can't do that Dave" message being printed on the screen and the weapon or module should refuse to activate. To flag or un-flag for PVP, you simply right-click on your ship display and check or uncheck an "High-Sec PVP Enabled" option. PKers who flag themselves for PVP can show up in the overview with a flashing blue background -- that way they can find one another to fight. High-Sec also needs a dueling mode so that you can fight your friends without flagging for general PVP. This would work by right-clicking on your opponent in the overview and click a "Duel" option. Your opponent does the same for you, and the duel starts five seconds later. The duel ends whenever either combatant leaves the grid where the duel was started, or when either combatant takes structure damage. Of course, since this is just a duel, the worst damage that either ships can take will still leave it with one point of structure. Repairs to recover from damage received in duels should be free, because they're just for fun. As for war decs: They still apply like normal in low-sec, but in high-sec you should only be able to attack war targets if they're flagged for PVP. Concord is getting more strict in high-security space all the way around since that nasty business in Yulai! I think that these changes will fit in very well with the theme of CCP's most recent changes.

Darius JOHNSON	Posted - 2008.08.06 21:37:00 - [3] Just for clarification wasn't this idea already raised by a member of the CSM? Originally by: Jade Constantine You might be a big man on the internets Darius but prepare to be laughed at quite a lot in Europe. -- Illaria's CSM
Iraf Thaiberd GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.08.06 21:38:00 - [4] Edited by: Iraf Thaiberd on 06/08/2008 21:38:31 Man's just sayin that CCP should cut out all this middle ground crap and do what it is they're obviously heading towards. They can even call it the Trammel Expansion so everyone will know where they stand.
Autopilot Engaged	Posted - 2008.08.06 21:42:00 - [5] I agree completely. If there's one thing everyone knows, it's that empire space is for consensual PvP ONLY. All this nasty business with empire wardecs and suicide ganking is simply ruining this game. After all, if this game isn't about macromining safely in highsec what's it about?
Toman Jerich Ars ex Discordia GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.08.06 22:11:00 - [6] Originally by: Darius JOHNSON Just for clarification wasn't this idea already raised by a member of the CSM? Possibly; great minds think alike.
Aleus Stygian	Posted - 2008.08.06 22:17:00 - [7] This is not WoW. I know that's a very standard comeback, but in this case the references are so damn plain to see that it's appropriate.
morpSkort	Posted - 2008.08.06 22:35:00 - [8] As an American, I think that CCP should allow concord to do it's job and stop appeasing the terrorists. You're either with us, or against us and hate freedom
Maximillian Bayonette White Lion Manufacture and Salvage	Posted - 2008.08.06 22:47:00 - [9] Definately. My playstyle is as valid as any griefer's. Actually, my playstyle is more valid because I have ethics and morals. Killing other players should be a capital offence. That should apply to 0.0 and low sec too. If you kill anyone in 0.0, whenever you come near a low sec gate you get executed, and your character biomassed. If you kill anyone in low sec, whenever you come near a high sec gate, the same thing happens. That would make the game more balanced when it comes to people who simply don't want to pvp.

TornSoul BIG Libertas Fidelitas	Posted - 2008.08.06 23:23:00 - [13] High-Sec PVP should be opt-in only. : No. High-sec is not 100% riskfree, and CCP never intended it to be nor should it be (plenty of other games that offer that kind of mechanics hint hint) It's _safer_ but definatly not safe. Nor should it be. Also, give us dueling mode! : Sure why not. (don't really care either way - But can't see what it would hurt) BIG Lottery

LASER WATCHER GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.08.07 03:39:00 - [16] Edited by: LASER WATCHER on 07/08/2008 03:39:30 Personally, I feel that high-sec miners (like me) need to have a safe place to conduct our business while warring factions take their aggression out on each other freely. As long as they have an outlet for free PVP wherever they may want it at their choosing, then High-sec will be a much more equal place. _____
Zaisig Murakk Merch Industrial GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.08.07 06:09:00 - [17] I feel that removing insurance payouts, increasing sec status hits and decreasing concord response time are steps in the right direction, but more needs to be done, and I think the OP hit the nail right on the head.

I think that these changes will fit in very well with the theme of CCP's most recent changes. Now that wardecs are officially "griefing" it's very clear that consensual PvP is what CCP intends for hi-sec; we might as well just see it done in one big patch rather than dragging the pain out over several. CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.

Trojanman190 D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.08.07 12:43:00 - [29] I full support this. Can we get a modal dialogue in space every time somebody locks me asking if I want to fight them? That would make my daily chores of hauling, mining, and hauling, and afk hauling and mining much less exhausting as I won't need to worry about any kind of risk. Also, please give this modal an auto reject feature so I can ignore it entirely. Thanks.
