What if one of the galaxies in grey space were designated as open territory. Have a battle once a week or throughout the week to see which race will own the galaxy. Whichever race owns the galaxy should have a prize, like buying the next level of ship above your skill level at corvus or something.

We have both aspects of this. We have open territory in the form of the grey systems and B8 is the site of giant battles not just once a week, but nearly every hour. And if you participate in CTC and your nation wins (which also takes place primarily in grey space), you get the neutron blaster mk 3, a faster (but higher drain) and lighter version of the mk 2.

me still thinks we should move the fightingsector to bractus e2

moving to Bractus E2 does nothing for the battle, just changes up the ships a bit, perhaps, or maybe not, but whatis in Bractus anyway?

They are systems within a galaxy Samuraijack not whole galaxies

Ctc is boring as hell and only a handful of people actually use the neutron cannon MkIII anyway when the DO have them so what's the point.

B8 is a great battle ground, just need to work on some of that lag a bit, with the HACs and there turret fire going invisible at times.

it makes access to scps slower.

Not to mention that it for once puts the brunt on the itani transport in stead of the serco one.

And ill have access to a vult mk4 in stead of an mk3 :D

I think this is something we will see in the universe expansion set up updates. But rather than just one sector nations/guilds will be able to take over whole systems and place guild and nation stations inside those areas

Rene, what's to stop people from stockpiling scp's in bractus like they do in sedina, nothing, so that is not a good point. And who wants to fight the Itani transport, it's 5:1 Itani:Serco so why?

it will take an assload of time to get them there. And even matriarchs prom went down in a multiple fight. So not as easy to have an infinite supply. Although it is always possible. Besides, why not have a hcange of scenery, in my opinion sedina is getting a bit stale anyway. Not to mention that having multiple sectors that get used in stead of using 1 sectyor for everything would be nicer.

aka use sedina b8 for the capital ship battle (that makes me lag more).

use bractus e2 for fighting.

Why fight against 5 vs 1:

Because it is a challenge? Because we are serco and don't give up. Because we believe in honour and valour in combat. because even if we get beaten we learn from it and contineou on in stead of just let them win. Not to mention that maybe the pirates will pirate the itani trnasports like they (used to) do/did to the serco ones. Because I hav eno clue, but its always nice to change the scenery from time to time.

ok, sorry, my terminology was a little off i did mean system instead of galaxy and i thought b8 was mostly just pvp stuff, not ctc stuff. Maybe have a revamping of the ctc in a different spot than b8 will renew interest. the reason i was thinking of different nations owning a grey system was that if the stations change nationalities from week to week, trade and traffic would be more difficult, pirates would have trouble traversing across all of grey space, and etc. thanks for the responses and input. :)

I think we all agree with you that systems need to be able to be invaded and taken over, the problem is that the devs need time to implement stuff like that and they are working on other aspects of game play like botting to that better. Eventually they will get around to it. I just hope its not years. =)

Nah. pirating, while it isn't cool to be pirated, is a neccecary part of VO at this point, and it adds actual risk to travelling in grey space, unlike (most of) nation claimed space. Besides, it's not hard to cross grey space anyways. However, it could be made more difficult by expanding the size of each system (such as Itan/Edras/Sol II) to be larger..

things don't need to be made larger so much as there needs to be more obsticles in your way. Wether it be npc pirate vulturuis squads, like strike force, patroling grey and attacking pc's. More intense ion storms (please no), new space phenomina, etc. Also more players in general will make it more dangerous cause everyone attacks someone. The current size of the VO univers is already large enough, if you wanted to get lost out there you could, and not see anyone ever, very easily.
