Adding effect to Karma level

Hi !

I really, really Love the invasion mode. And I usually spend hours in it, farming, or traveling,…

I have some ideas to have a more satisfying experience (that I will post in several topic).

So!

Right now, karma level have no effect in game (Or I missed something).

Why not giving them a small effect?

I’m thinking on something like : +1% loyalty & +1% health per two levels of positive Karma, and a different gain for negative.

Not too much, but still something.

I’d simply be happy if the blinkin pirates would stop shooting me if I have criminal status. Or maybe even ally with me for helping them take down a cargo ship.

 

Seriously. The system guard allies with you when you are good or neutral and then turns against you if you are a criminal. The pirates are always against you no matter what. It’s ridiculous. Get criminal status, get stuck in system, now every single NPC is shooting at you, and you die.

Criminal don’t mean that you are a pirate.

And here, I speak about Karma level, not flags. As far I know, you can have a positive karma and beeing à Criminal, or having a negative karma and beeing neutral.

Its logical- To pirates you are just another civilian. A criminal civilian, but civilian after all

Enemy of your enemy isn’t necessarily your friend.

nice idea. i hope the implement something in the future where you can go to different traders or sections depending on whether you have +/- karma. so if negative karma level 2 for example you can trade with a pirate trader or dock at a pirate hanger in some corner of the map and vice versa with the positive karma

I also think that Karma should play a greater role.

 

 

Not quite sure how though… but I want to see those -40k karma guys punished by the law!  Or by bounty hunters if the law is incapable (like it is in real life)!

Personally I would just like to have those with -Karma to show red (criminal or not), those at Neutral Karma show yellow, and those with +Karma to show blue (unless criminal status) that way I would have at least 1 or 2 seconds to defend myself (being the non-violent type I am)

Are we talking about PvP aggression or PvE aggression?  Those police get touchy if your aim’s off and you scratch them.  Then if another bot kill them you become the criminal!

 

I wish there was at least something, so I’d know who’s not trustworthy with my life and who doesn’t care.

Talking about PVP I want to know the Karma of the person when they come into sensor range. I don’t like having to wait until I’m dead to return fire.  Or even be the one to start the fight if they are at odds with my Karma.

At +Karma I should be blue to others and those -Karma should be red.

I found GVOZD in one of the frontier sectors one day.  I warped away, and then saw that he was in a recon.  Then I promptly died.  In the back of my head I just told myself, “he has 10ms ping, I have 180ms, there wasn’t a chance.  I hope I don’t end up in a video.” 

@jrisom You probably will be. Also, on the topic of karma, what are the karma levels (I know so far that 1=1000 points and that’s it)

+/-2 Karma is obtained at +/-15,000 points.

Which also means going from +2 to -2 for achievement points will be really slow.

 

If GVOZD uses my death in a video, I’ve given my response proactively.  Not a defense, but a response.

I’d love having a “Pirate” flag for players. Toggleable like Station Protection. Just switches sides, essentially. You are protected in pirate sectors and not in controlled ones.

I like the idea, BUT how would you dock?

 

Wouldn’t the police guards just blast you the moment you entered lawful space?
