New Warvoy game mechanic.

Sep 23, 2020 We all float link
I suggest adding a little mission like mechanic to warvoys.

If a pilot is dislike or better with the warvoy nation and they attack the warvoy one of two things will happen depending on the pilot’s standing:

Stage one:
If the pilot is admired or better with the warvoy nation they will get a warning to cease fire. If they continue to fire and kill a ship of the warvoy, they will get a final warning. If they kill a second ship, things move to stage two.

If the pilot is between dislike and respect with the warvoy nation, the pilot will get single warning. Killing any warvoy ship will move to stage two.

Stage two:

The warvoy will make some message about the pilot being a traitor or similar and a group of fighters will turbo off to attempt to leave the sector.

If the player pilot kills all these ships, nothing happens.
If even one of these ships gets away, the pilot will lose major standing with the warvoy nation.

This little change to how warvoys work will help get around the issue of same nation killing of warvoys with zero repercussions. While also adding a bit of excitement for players.

Why does it have to be so complicated? Why not just punish them the first time they kill someone? It's not like people could accidently kill them, or that the voy needs to leave to report on the traitor.

I like it. It makes it more interesting.

I think that's a great idea. It eliminates the casual war voy eradication by same-nation-as-the-voy players, but it also introduces a mechanism to allow for a planned operation to do so.

When I saw the word "mechanic" in the title, I assumed there would be some mission to repair war voy ships. I think this should reward any pilot willing to do so. Maybe introduce a badge for bringing x number of war voys to 100%.

And, if someone is repping, naturally a message should go out to the opposing nation that "a maintenance team has been spotted at the war voy!" or something similar.

Hi Aryko,

I get where you are coming from, however years ago It was explained to me that because these sectors are unmonitored, in this gameverse, that counts for something. This suggestion is a way to mitigate an abuse I've seen and at the same time add something fun to the game. I envision there will be a jolt of adrenaline for the pilot in this situation attempting to run down the fighters.

Also, if the fighters jump out, they can return afterwards.
