PvP flags sound lame..

Any team that has warred or is being warred by another team should get a perm PvP flag for those teams... Else I can list about 50 ways to break the system.

PvP Flags, as I understand it, would only affect PVP that is outside of war.

If someone doesn't have their PvP flag set, you can't attack them. However, you can attack their perm drones, trade slaves, and bases. If they retaliate, their PvP flag would automatically be set. I believe this was dreamed up so that situation like the one with Ventigo wouldn't arise again where the rules are grey, and just have something built into the game for people who do not want to participate in PvP. Obviously you would still be able to war that person if you wanted to fight them, but it would take down on some griefing since you can declare and undeclare continuously. We were thinking about making it so Perilous space was open to PvP even without flags set, since it is Perilous :P

Bana is just the same as before.

"Add PVP flag for people's ships (You won't be able to attack a person or their combat slaves when the person is not plagged PvP, but you can still attack bases, perm drones, and trading slaves. Attacking any of those things will turn your PvP flag on, as well as attacking someone who is already PvP.)"

sorry but this idea is stupid...

just completely eradicate any decent/proper PvP, or random Pirate PvP...

Stupid and a wrong move imo. SS


and i think he's confused as the hyperlink you placed there requires a login (not sure if it's admin only) to view, dont see why it is unless admin only, which means the hyperlink is pointless. :P

ok colony glitch with ruins
If you extract ruins rather early, they take too long to find other items and extract at normal speed

In that case don't forget to set up an option for the autopilot to avoid open PvP areas - else the idea would loose quite some of its sense - especially considering the size and complexity of the universe now.

Fix 'The Emperor's Protector' It has 6k shields and is supposed to be 'the best'. It's dirt, worse than a Give and Take.

I can understand getting killed in your fighting ship, but even if you don't lose a damn cent, getting killed in my Freighter for absolutely no reason just pisses me off.

If it were possible to retaliate against the pirate, then that would be a different story. But they usually just kill your transport ships and then go hide. In other words, they piss you off for no reason and there's nothing you can do about it.

That's just bad luck. I got bule red orb as my first ruin, started extracting the tick after they appeared. I have gotten five other items in that ruin since then, and I waited over a day after reset to start my colony. All the items are total crap, but they appeared nonetheless.....

Isn't that what's PvP about (and meant to be) in Starsonata mainly?

If this wouldn't be the case the PvP ranges would not be set just by your lvl.

PvP isn't about pissing someone off. And if someone does piss you off, there should be some method of retribution.

Hey folks,

During this meeting we worked on assigning some miscellaneous tasks as well as planning our next couple months of work.


Organization is key, thumbs up on this list, at least to stay informing the community and the dev team to keep everybody up to date and up to task.
