There is only one thing I truly miss...and that is s9.
s9 was the greatest place to just go and have some fun. It was also linked to alot of other sectors, and was great for traveling! S9 was the handiest sector by far.
In 3.5, I'd like to see a "s9", if you will, in the huge circle in the middle of all the sectors. A place people can go to hangout, have fun, travel, etc. It would be a completely neutral area (like s40), so no penalty on killing (good for duels and wars). It would also have some good trade items and access to all of the public ships and weapons.
It wouldn't be a system, but just a simple sector with 3 wh portals. One to Itani territory, one to NT territory, and one to Serco territory. This leave sit accessable and used very often due to players trying to get to other nation's territory.
Please post all of your thoughts and whatforth, I'd *really* like to hear if the Devs could/would implement this, it'd make the new universe *much* less lonely. Thank you for your time!
Cheers.

the idea's good for the fun of the testers, bad for getting to the final game state.
well you could make a couple of duel sectors where you can only kill somebody or harm somebody after you both started a duel or something...
Not to mention that that will speak more to the eyes of the fps crowd. And if these people are busy in 9, then that measn that there is one less human pirate to worry about :D
Not to mention that I like high standings, but i would like to fight from time to time agaisnt somebody else that wants to fight also and not have to lose my standing for this. Either neutral, serco or any other standing for that mather.
Since their are times of lonelyness and times of going to a bar and starting a brawl ... :D
Dont forget, hte objective is to have fun, nott o be as close to reallity as possible.
cheers

s9 HyperSpaz? I believe the sector you are talking about is s7 from old CTF. O how i miss mining and nuking stations when there would be tons of players there. Those were the days.
*weep*
*weep*
Thats it. Thats the reward. Make a sector in the middle of everything like the old s7 which only testers have access to :D
/me agrees with UncleDave. But half the fun of s7 was all the nOObs coming in and not knowing what was going to happen to them. A couple of sunflares here and there, hehehe.
STATION NUKING YAY!!
STATION NUKING YAY!!
Just make a cool sector 7 like station, and give it access to all the weapons and ships (that aren't nation specific), put it in a convenient place (like the middle of the "wheel" of systems") and *boom* you have über hangout spot.
Yes, a galactic center or megaport-of everything needs to be in game. A place where players can come from all over the galaxy to interact and trade. Such a station should be heavily gaurded, make that extreamly gaurded.
As it stands, the universe is so large, running into other players is rare, with a station like sec9, it enhances the community of the game.

I like the idea of only testers being able to get to it. Maybe make a liscence that only we have.
I mean...all I want is a place where we can all go and really just talk and have some fun inbetween testing. Go there and get locked in a dock, go and have some duels, mine shows, Bullfights (lol m2r7, we didn't sell out...yet!), etc. Everything that you'd want to do to have fun.
Now look, when I go to get a video game I personally look at replay value and fun factor. When a game is fun, yet always slightly changing, *boom*, there is a great game. S9 esque middle sector? Always changing, and always fun. *boom*, there, is a great game.

New universal sector: M-14 System 20. Party!
Sw33t...no standing's messed up right? While it is out of the way...it's better than nothing!
S20 PARTY AOOOOOOOO!
S20 PARTY AOOOOOOOO!
There are no faction penalties for killing players in non-faction-owned space, or in corvus prime territory. If you want to duel, pick a corvus station.
Wait, what about (and forgive me, I did not read the entire thread) adding a sector, perhaps secret "s9" in the center of the universe? Similar to the old s18, it's enterance would be hidden from view as is it's existance, only the Testers would know of it's location and it would be basically a massive universal library housing a bar, shipyard etc etc but also a universal map.
The location would exist in secret and (if the devs chose) could also really be the testers send off. A secret sector dedicated only to the testers and only reachable through 2 or 3 secretly placed and hidden warpholes?
The location would not exist as the current systems but instead as it's old form, s9. It could be allied to the faction Testers, that way battles would be less frequent and the place would be more of just a hangout for the testers.
Or, if the Dev's wanted to be uber-cool, they could allow the system to be viewed and set all testers to +1000 with the Tester faction and have default for non-tester accounts set to -1000 so that Tester Faciton DefBots could restrict non-tester traffic insystem...and truely show that there were testers and that they were so cool, they warranted their own sector/system for their efforts..."The Tester Bar and Grill!"

I really like the idea of a secret sector in the middle where testers and guides can switch between systems quickly without having to do all that jumping around - with a hidden gate in every public system - it just means you can cross the galaxy in a couple of minutes rather than 10 minutes which would be very useful if you need to help a noob and you're a really long way off - a license to the sector would only be granted once a player has achieved say 10.10.10.10 (but testers all get the license automatically :-)
so far we want the 'sector in the middle' for:
1-dueling and wars
2-hanging around and chatting+goofing off
3-getting across the galaxy faster.
(1)"There are no faction penalties for killing players in non-faction-owned space"
there are -thousands- of non-faction-owned sectors.
a starcraft-like interface could be used to create multiplayer "games", which would be posted on interface for anyone to join. private duels and wars could be implemented by just making a password requirement.
Once the duel/war game slots are filled, players can press "done" and get warped to some neutral, desolate sector to fight. the fighters can have spontaneous respawn when they die ("buy ship?"), since some sectors, being non-faction-owned, don't have stations. <The respawn probably doesn't need to be created at all, but I like to duel many times in a row. The duelers, having the spontaneous respawn advantage, can't hurt other players who suddenly warp into the sector, but they should be immune to other-player interference too.> When done fighting, the duelers will be warped back to the respective sectors they were in before entering the duel
(2) hanging around and chatting + goofing off.
I would really love to have a sector for testers to congregate. how cool would it be if the sector also had an amazing arsenal of ships, weapons, batts, and widgets to experiment with?
I may like it too much... to the extent that I spend the bulk of my time there...
and therein lies the problem.
The devs need us flying and warping around to every sector, occasionally doing crazy things, just to find bugs. If they gave us such a sector right now, we'll spend too much time in that special sector, and not test the game as well.
-I do think that a secret sector like that would be cool after the final release-
(3)getting across the galaxy faster.
weee. anyone remember pacman? there is a tunnel in the middle of the pacman maze, where you can run off the edge of the maze and appear on the opposite edge! kind of like the s15 to s16 secret sector shortcut. I think this is a good reason to make a few "linking" sectors... (no need to make a whole system for this.)
few enough linking sectors that people will run into each other (think of it as the "inevitable pvp" catalyst), but not so that we start staying in just those sectors

In that case, could you reset corvus standings please? I still can't dock there, and neither can a lot of people, AFAIK...

Perhaps instead of a hangout, just make it a place with no faction, the standard ship, weapon, and cargo loadouts, and make it a single sector connected to the 3 main "quadrants" (NT, Serco, and Itani space). And make it guarded so pirates can't "pirate".
