Since the launch of the BP missions PvP in the boarder system has drastically increased. However, due to faction issues, you have to be hated to take the mission. For those of us who would have to go hunt NPCs in monitored space to drop their standing enough to play (I'm +820 Itani and +680 Serco) there is a major cost for a little PvP. I would love to see a BP mission where it doesn't matter what your standing is so the UIT can get in on the action without having to work to DROP standing.

Just a thought,
Forrest

no offence , but that's a prety bad idea.

being admired by both sides should be inposable to maintain if you actualy perticapate in the war.

if you want to be neutral you have to sacrafice any signifigant perticipation in the war

You're right Lord Q, it doesn't make sense to be neutral yet participate in open war. However, seeing as a relatively large chunk of PvP has moved away from b8 and other neutral areas many UIT and others have been left to float in the void of space while others run off to BP groups.

Furthermore, since the UIT lacks any major, current story/situation neutral players are left high and dry when traditional PvP gathering places are left increasingly empty. How about a fight with Corvus or a company turned evil? A massive Hive invasion of UIT space perhaps? In fact, this shortfall is the very reason behind my suggestion. The "BP for all" idea was not intended to be a long term fix. It was merely intended to serve as a short term activity while the Devs had time to come up with some content that is specific to UIT. I realize this type of deep content takes time to create and develop, both technically and intellectually, but it must be created because the UIT faction doesn't have ANY content comparable to the Itani/Serco conflict at the moment.

Devs, please give UIT players something to get involved in that is deeper than mining and trading. Give us something to care about, something to group up and blow the shit out of or otherwise be interested in.

if you feel left out, you can always tank yout tani/serco standing and then fix it again when you're done... that's what I do... only I generally jus keep my tani standing tanked and only raise it occasionally when I feel the need to pillage valks from a dealer.

Raising your serc/tani standing is NOT THAT HARD, especially for a UIT, who can gain fair amounts of faction early on by killing opposing nation NPC traders.

BP SHOULD be limited...

Bp should be fixed first.

And can we please have some form of "trigger" that removes the bots when more than 5 people on each side are BPing and have been in c-10 within the last... say 10... minutes?
