Well in all due fairness, the RP builders don't actively prevent the PvP players from existing. The same cannot always be said about the other way around. I've yet to see a bunch of RP builders gang up on a PvP player and force them to build a kitchenette. I have seen PvP players gang up on...

Or you can simply have a mechanic that says "Player with overwhelming capability can't attack the newbie with a glorified shuttle craft". No, what I want is a faction with less resources to be able to say "I don't want to get wiped off the map" by the faction with 10x the resources. Its that...

Known bug with mining drones is that sometimes you just get a "bad core" that won't work at all no matter what you do to it. The workaround is to build a bare minimum drone (core, 1 salvage module, 1 storage, no hull, etc), and then test it before you blueprint it. If it mines, then you're...

And why should they? Why does the idea that you have to be someone's bitch for a while before you're allowed to have fun even exist? The very idea that you have to suffer and suck it up for a while doesn't make the game fun for anyone but the established players, it actively drives new players...

Nope, just been active here for a long time now, and I've seen a LOT come and go.

Goes both ways, deary. If our wanting to be left alone to play in peace disrupts your "fun" of blowing people up, your blowing people up disrupts our "fun" of building and socializing. You don't get to say your version of fun is better than ours, and I'm only saying give people the option to...

Option 2 is easily fixed by simply saying you have a cooldown period of several days before you can re-flag yourself for peace. And perhaps that unflagging yourself drops your shields like transporting does to prevent "peace sniping". But from the responses of the vocal people here, the answer...

Congratulations, you're not an asshole. :)

Well its a good thing we're playing a video game intended to be fun for everyone involved and not starting a genocidal world war, isn't it? Seriously, you want to compare a VIDEO GAME to the actual World War II? The levels of... nevermind. There is no way to respond to this without actually...

Because there are no other kinds. Seriously, go try to find a non-creative mode build server that isn't PvP. There isn't a survival server that isn't PvP.

Lol, dude, I've been doing this shit since MUDs on an Apple II. Take your pick, I've seen the entire history of trolls and PvP griefers from the very beginning.

Good. "Pirate" factions are just a thinly veiled way of saying "griefer" while trying to hide behind calling it roleplay. You wanna play a pirate? Fine, there are NPC factions now, go pirate them. Leave the other players alone.

I've never seen this kind of behavior. The only "PvP" I've seen in games for years is of the "I'm not going to fight unless I know 100% I can win, if they can actually even risk hurting me, I'm not doing it" style, aka noobstomping, aka griefing. There are what I call virtuous PvP'ers out...

Don't forget you can combine. Just because you have a mining fleet doesn't mean you can't still have a full mining array on your carrier. Send your drones out to mine one thing, you go mine another. Sure, you'll mine faster than they will unless you've got dozens and dozens of drones, but its...

PvP servers could have a thing where you have to spend faction points to stay in peace mode.

I made a user icon for you. Seems to fit your style quite well. :)

No, I don't know this. My definition of "taking over" = controlling space. If an independent player has their own territory and is doing their own thing without you being the boss, then you have not taken over. If your definition of "taking over" is different, then its just you pretending to...

The best way I've seen for handling griefers (as opposed to legit PvP'ers) is one that most MMO's have used for years. A pvp flag. Very simple concept, if your PvP flag is disabled, other players cannot attack you. If you attack someone else that has their flag enabled, you automatically flag...

The tax and the like doesn't change the core problem with that play style though. If it just gives them a tax and doesn't knock them out, then you can't take over the universe. The two are mutually exclusive, either you can take over the universe, or you can have other players. If you have...

The only way "take over the universe" works is when you restart the game from scratch for everyone each time you play. Civilization can do this, because you all start off on the same page. Starcraft can do it because you start a new map every time you play. Persistent online multiplayer, it...
