SBP has declared war on Traders, yet again, and we need to be able to get to the base in Hyper without being attacked by them in there.

Hyper should be a WAR free zone. Kill the AI but not other players.

Everyone needs free and unfettered access to the AI base in there for core skills and Andaman gear BPs.

Aw shucks, I was about to go get Leadership 2.

I don't see any way to change it since making it non-PvP would make it impossible to contest the Plasma Crystals source.

Simple... move the Plasma Xtal source to someplace like Perpetual Motion.

Realistically there are so many Plasma Xtal moons and planets in the uni now that having one in Hyper is all but pointless.

so you want more carebear in this game right? its allll about PvAI pfft pvp is for loser duurrr.
<is now a loser.

So your basic idea is that Bio, Emp bio, Laby, Hyper etc should be non PvP? War is war, deal with it

Omg no, we should remove all PvP in this game!1!1!!!1!1 Let's all kill dumb AI and nothing else, that is soooo much fun right!!??!!!1!?1!?!

way to much fighting.. they should remove the war option and only add diplomacy.

Heck they should remove all offensive shit so we can only trade.

Hyper is the only Source for Shielding 19. I have nothing against being able to blockade that galaxy, but an alternate way to obtain this should be implemented.

Not sure about andaman bps... Wars are mostly about bases, being able to blockade the source of higher tech base gear blueprints sounds ok.

Either way, not a bug, but a suggestion

Realistically, you're gonna die once and then be able to dock, and then die once and be able to warp out. if people were in there deliberately preventing you from getting Shielding 19 it would be different but dying to bases is not a big deal.



You do realize that Plasma Crystals are a normal Tier 2 commod with sources throughout the universe right?

Plasma Crystals: available universe wide
Andaman prints: pay a newbie to collect them for you
Skills: fast ship + speed shield + low level gear

All the issues you mention have viable solutions.

For the record, Bio + Emp Bio are also choke points.



/reminisces when you could blockade Absolution, and it was the only source of Ablution crystals in game, and the only way to raise SM + other skills. Now that was griefing at its finest.

how are Bio and Emp Bio "choke points" when you can always create lux/ent suites for SM 18-20 or do the ancient pax mission for W4? those were included to relieve the pressure of having choke points on the skills. I'm not in favor of a change personally to Hyper as realistically it is only a 19 level skill but please have some thought and do some mild research
