f2p can't go to perilous, can't shoot in wild space, and no one can pvp in earthforce space.

I don't really see the point.

How does an F2P in a tech 21 ship not make anyone else concerned?

tech 21 will be end game for a while. I mean seriously, lets just face facts and be real that tech 22 wont be out for a long, long time. You guys had plans for new tech levels each successive uni? You have been bug fixing this whole uni and who knows what will happen next uni.

To get people to pay, they have to have some reason to want to.

I don't really see the point.

I don't see it either. If you legitimately obtained something that you were allowed to obtain, and had it taken away because someone else got jealous, the repercussions are just insane.

I (at least I think I have) just had a stroke of genius!
Why not make it that after lvl "X" (maybe 300, 500, 1000, not really sure with new sp cost system). That f2p's slowly start getting less xp per kill. It wouldn't be noticable at first but after about 100 levels over the cap it starts becoming very obvious that xp isn't coming in quite as fast. Once the f2p is limited to 1/4 the xp of a normal P2P, the limiter stop taking it down any further. (This is for those f2p's who really truly cant go p2p and are happy to grind in dg's a lot longer)

But for the rest of the f2p's they'll see that they aren't gaining as many levels (as they're p2p friends of similar level) And watch as all the f2p's around them also start going p2p, until they finally crack and decide its worth it. Pay the $10 and then suddenly BAM! Amazing superfast (or so it seems) Leveling and they'll never want to go back to the grind of being an f2p!

tl;dr - F2P's dont gain as much xp per level, this eventually gets them to become p2p.

I think the point is that f2p weren't supposed to be able to legitimately obtain these skills.

Who cares? Let it slide. No need to create fuss over something they will never be able to use in a pvp sense.
