Funny. >>I have checked and you are correct, it was in a ship with rank 7. But it’s the same, A end game ship should fight against other end game ships.<<
Is R10+ not endgame?
Because that’s literally what I suggested. R10 sector are free for all. No protection but you can’t just fly with your r1 to it. And nobody can complain that a high ship attacked/killed them as they know the risk.
The R7- sectors can be protected(if you have it enabled). That’s okay, but the rewards and so are compensated for the not so high threat.
Yes to all, but… Do you think the current rewards for farming R10+ sectors compensate the increase of the perils?

Yeah I try not to steal containers from people who got the kill but if I helped a lot, I’ll see what’s in the container. Luckily haven’t run into people trying to steal my mineral nodes while I’m mining…but perhaps we could also have other options such as…
“Solo mode” in Open Space - can choose to join a PVE sector in solo mode and no one will be there to steal from you…or help you.
Instanced Resource Nodes - Everyone would have their own resource nodes spawn in for them when joining a sector. Not sure if doable or stupid but just a suggestion.

Oddly enough I think every sector should have optional Neutral/Protection Mode. Sometimes I just want to mine and explore, not get attacked by some idiot.
Ive been hearing that OS is very boring, wouldnt this make it more boring for anyone? If you know how to do it well, bots are no threat at all, so going out without any player is like going into zombie mode…just to farm. Sounds similar like the farm for ship parts at PVE.

That’s part of being in a high dangerous zone. I can live with as protected miner. But I don’t agree that the OS have to be a care bear place.
So if you want really valuable loot, you shouldn’t be safe from anyone in such a sector anytime.
Cant agree more: High risk, high reward.

A hypothetical Solo mode in Open Space would be optional…I don’t find OS boring. Even with a R9 ship I find the AI too powerful in most sectors - I can kill most things and love killing hunters for that XP. Like, what if I just started and had a R2 fighter and went into one Sector over from home base since it said minimum rank of 1. I’d assume the AI to be as weak as they are in the Station node. Then I encounter a couple of Alien scouts? Screw that. That little rant isn’t relevant lol ”)
Content shouldn’t be PVP locked or PVE locked. Always has been my theory for similar games and always will be. As long as you can get the same rewards in PVP sectors that you can in high rank PVE sectors, works for me. (excluding tournament things of course)
It isn’t locked. No you are more restricted as PvP Player as a PvE one due this overall station protection. This need to be revamped. And the AI a problem? You just need to learn that’s all. The AI isn’t a problem if you are correct fitted and in nearly all sectors is help in form of other AI. You just need to use it.

I meant it as a general statement. For example, say that Neodium was only available in PVP sectors and not in PVE sectors. That’d be freaking lame and a crapfest.
As for the AI, I don’t really have an issue now but earlier I did. One would expect an Open Space sector with a rank requirement of 1 to be as easy as Tier 1 PVE missions/battles. There are some bullet sponges in Rank 1 OS sectors. Even at R9 I still think some of the AI is too spongy in early sectors.
Neo is available from R7+ sectors. So it wouldn’t harm us Miners having free for all at R10 sectors.
Doesn’t matter if there are a few bullet sponges in a sector, the sector itself is not dangerous at all in R1.
In T1 missions you can fail too if you don’t pay attention. Additional to that, there is more as enough support in R1.

Plenty of sectors provide neodium, of course the better ones are in R10 sectors. For that you should be flying a T4 or 5 ship. Under these circunstances bots oppose no real harm

T3 or T5, the bots in OS will always pose a threat. (Except in Leviathan.)
The bots are extremely overpowered.
Not to mention they can bring any rank ship to any sector.

Then my ships must have some special aura, cause i can kill them or search for minerals/mysterious containers for hours without dying
EDIT: this excludes aliens at R10+ sectors…at least for fighting them solo.

I’m mad if I say brain.exe is the most important thing you need?

Oh get off your pedestal.
Sometimes I can farm no issue but then other days there are Cartel and Aliens going at it all over the sector and just happen to spawn on top or near me and chase me for half the map. Damn Water Harvest was such a jerk to me after I found an Enriched Berrylium - cartel pilots spawning at gate when I went to the cargo drone. Hunter/Predators chasing me to farming spots and not leaving even though I didn’t attack. (R9 Fighter with 2 speed boost modules, overdrive and the speed one). Working on getting me a higher level Tackler.
And in Naberia or the that Northstar Crash site, freaking turtles won’t stop chasing me even if I put like 8000 meters between us. Side note, I’ve heard there is a cargo drone in one or both of those sectors, any idea where?
>>cartel pilots spawning at gate<<
At the gate to Poseidon Complex is a cartel transport+escort spawning. That’s nothing new. If you are a while on a map studying it, you know what, where and how many spawn. You use this to avoid or draw your enemies into other(or allies). Predator hunting was funny(and to some extend worthwhile until recent nerf) in this system.
The aggro is a bit strange. Sometimes it’s enough to cloak and you lose it, but sometimes they follow you into the infinity(also your death or your jump out)…
Because of this all, NPCs are just a threat because of having 2-5 times the damage(12k shrapnel *cough*) and life and even then…
PLAYERS otherwise can be just other flies or your own personal predator.
The station protection should be changed into a dialog window if someone wants to fight you, you click yes, 3,2,1 fight! HADOUKEN!!!
The thing with resources, the neo should be like a bit rare and in Leviathan only resource and nowhere else, so that means, bery would be only Otherworld and the prolly next r14 material would be in Inverter, 3 resources, 3 alien sectors, fits perfectly. OR just apply these drop specific locations without changing the existing other sectors drops, either way, its fine by me.
