Open World/Sandbox - What you DON'T want in it.

Hopefully its not mixed tier. I don’t want to be crushed by Lightbringers and Pirahna B-2’s and Falcons and freaking ECM’s

 

Mmm we can only speculate on how its gonna work, so lets not make assumptions. But your point is still valid. 

I think what he meant is by a LRF just camping at an known entrance to a Zone and insta killing players. 

 

That’s exactly what I meant.  With the right CPU combo, you can lock on and get a shot off so fast that you can quickly 1 shot some ships and 2 shot most.  If LRFs are in open world, then they would have to be severely tweaked to make them less efficient at longer ranges.  The fact that there is practically zero spread on their disintegrator would make camping a common thing in open world.  People camp already in PvP skirmishes which are much more fast-paced…you don’t think they’ll camp during slow-paced games in open world?  Please.

a) Last thing you can one shot are Fed Interceptors in T3 if they aren’t moving (no adaptives active)

b) if you do super fast lock you will not have sensor range to lock on targets

 

 Camping with Disintegrator is way inefficient comparing to what is available, even camping within positrons range is more deadlier, but so are gunships with bubble guns paired with disablers, that have much better killing potential than a snipers.

 And all of that is based on a xxxx tons of assumption on a game mode we have no clue about

You can counter that by giving some immunity after you get into the zone like 5-10 seconds so you can run away

PvE should be mixed tier, no limit combat - I want to be able to go out flying in my Naga and have a bunch of T1 pilots go “Hey Jasan! We’re getting owned by pirates! Can you help?” And then I get to stroll through the battle, laughing manically at how everything explodes around me, while the T1 guys feel great about how they “outsmarted” the pirates by recruiting a really powerful frigate to blitzkrieg on their behalf.

PvP, on the other hand, should be fixed tier and impossible to blunder into accidentally.

I think your right. Lower level players appreciate when a higher level player comes and helps for bit, epseically if there is a system that you can “Hire” players for Escort, protection, or other things. 

 

But when your in a Low Sec or “PVP” area, you are on your own, and at your own risk. 

Just squad up with them. Use ingie and blast away all the porates and theyd be drooling all over the keyboard

Absolutely hated it myself…

I might add that the devs already said there would be a “PvE slider” and you can choose to stay only in PvE zones.

 

Even in Eve there are safe zones for carebears. I suppose there will be here also.

 

PvP will be restricted (I suppose) to non faction space (null sec) and you should know that there will be dragons there.

 

And really, I did gate camping in EvE, and I can’t find anything more boring than that…

It’s already in:

So yeah, sounds like they took a look at EVE with a bit more carebear friendly approach (I never did gate camping in EVE but I did blow up some carebears in the “safe” zones). Reads like as a carebear you’re invincible everywhere.
