Player Looting? Discuss here

Post by Strail »

Player looting, do you want it or not? (NPC also)

Vote, place a comment and discuss for those that are interested.

F1'ing out of the game in MP is removed for the next mod. Only method of exiting will be by docking. ;)

yeah, player looting gives a new dimention tothe game. i personally like it BUT....

it makes the invironment very unfriendly. people will run after the gun shops and who ever might have a couple of good guns not mounted on them. it's a good thing, but specially on this server people would CRY soo bad about it everything would just break up....

PLEASE don't do it people around here have already shown they can't deal with dying

I agree with capr, although I personally wouldn't mind it. It would give all of those who like to stir things up something to keep busy, however I think that it would make too many of our long term vetrin players posibaly leave the server. We already are having alot of people whining about the littlest thing. Strail, your pm's and problem posts would double if not tripple.

With player looting, atleast the pirates would stand a chance of making a living. Perhaps ppl will be a little more willing to pay a tax. I also agree with Capr… Very tough choice..

I say that it should be allowed because then the gun shops would need to hire bodygaurds from single freelancers to merc clans. that ould give profit to the gun shop(ppl buying) it would give ptrofit to mercs(getting paid to protect) and profit to the pirates(if they actaully kill the gun shop) so i saay it should be allowed and if theres ppl wining to bad they must not of hired anothe mercs.

i vote for yes.

its great idea and it would be much more fun.... we would all get the chance to brush up our skills and pirates would have a chance to get payed, mercs would get a job, hunters would have good profit...... every1 wins but loses if they die..... it would be great.... there would be less n00bs on server........ so i wote YES!!!!!

That´s a definate yes!!!

It hads realism, and will actually makes pirate work a little worthwhille..

As for the Gun Shops, well... just keep them outside manathan, or better yet, Strail could declare one system, as a "trading system" where no player killing is allowed (when I say trading I mean player trading... not commodity trading, this system should have no places to buy or sell commodities)

And as for F1 being gone.... YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That´s pure genius, i bet that is what will drive some players (the ones who like this "trick") away. And let me add "good riddance".

This is obviously a very tough choice.

On some points, player looting is a good idea, and from a pirate's standpoint, this would be a VERY good thing for them.

As TIODS and Durango pointed out, you will have everyone who can't stand to die whining like kids.

That's a BIG YES on the NPC's tho.

Perhaps limit the looting to where guns that are mounted do not get looted, but everything else in cargo does, like missles, torps, gold or whatever a person might be carrying.

That would seem like the most logical choice. That way, it's not a TOTAL loss for someone that dies.

I for one would REALLY hate to die, then have to go to 10 different planets just to get my original set-up back.

Think about it guys, you die, you have to go to unk 2, deal with NPC's with NO weapons, then get nom friendly for a mine dropper and CD's.

And if you decide to buy crap weapons just to get to the GOOD weapons, that in itself is a waste of money.

Seems like alot of running around just because someone got trigger happy and stabbed you in the back...know what i mean?

I'm voting yes, but only under these stipulations.

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.
