well if there is a good profitable new trade run where ppl could earn easy monney it wouldnt be to expensive but it also wouldnt be fun if every1 would be lvl 90.....TIODS wrote:A thought.... If you lose missles and torps, will anyone still pvp? That makes pvp very expensive. It's my opinion that you should not lose these items for that reason.

and for those who will wine, let them..... life is crewl....... let them deal with that!!!

Yeah, i was referring ot non-mounted stuff as well, and only that...
Loosing a mounted weapon would be especially hard for new players strugling to get a char going... so no mounted weapon loosing please

durango --- > you can't make it so thato nly certain people have the privelage, the coding simply doens't allow it as far as i undrestand.
pest --> i do agree with you but think about how many people have cried to strail about dying and losing cargo ..... if people start losing their missiles than they would really start craying. think of the misisle boats and how much they would lose. they would either not carry anything cause they are chicken or just sit there for ever crying about losing their missiles.

Present Situation?
I thought as things stand now any unmounted weapon is lost if u die,is this not the case?. i ask cos i never keep unmounted weapons so i dunno.i dont think mounted weapons should be lost if player looting is enabled,v tedious to run about replacing stuff etc,by same logic if yr ship is destroyed why not respawn in a starflier or escape pod? [now that would be playing hardball! ] ammo should be up for grabs i reckon.

Is there any way to make it so that like the npc's u loose amo and only occasionaly loose the odd mounted wep? Although i think that it will lead to players using their guns more in pvp, perhaps only a partial looting of ammo as well. Otherwise I think that total looting would create more problems than it would solve, unless an area of no looting is set aside for safe haven for new players and for tournies. And new, more strict rules concerning killin bellow lvl 60. for these reasons I'd have to vote no.

I say no, look at the arguments over Pirates, ant the dissatisfaction it cause, if people loose their equiped items when thy die, no 1 will want to fight. There isn't enough multiplayer battles as it is

Played on a server before with player looting . Mounted weps were safe, but ammo, bots bats and cargo were lost (i imagine its gonna be the same here). Apparently its very difficult to differentiate between cargo and ammo so having cargo lost but not ammo might be a problem .
Main effect was that a traders life changed (more pirates after them)
and people used missiles a lot less, so we saw more gun users.
Also friendly fights became less friendly, bots and bats started being used.
For me, losing ammo/bats/bots im not really bothered either way
If the mod was done to lose mounted guns..id really not like that, but if the majority want it of course.

I don't use missiles or torps for this very reason. I hate having to replace the ammo when I get nailed...especially when some of the better ammo is so damn expensive. I'll go fo guns everytime. But to the MOD designer do what you want..I don't care.
I will eventually get sick of playing this game whatever you do and will leave...or not show up as much.
Always happens...Can't be helped.
My 2 cents worth...
