I DL'd your game, logged in, and had almost managed to get the hang of things when i was PK'd the first time. The player who PK'd me habitually hangs around the Itani space lanes, victimizing your new player base. I am not the first person who has been driven away by this player's relentless attacks, and will not be the last unless something can be done about it.

Perhaps placing a UIT station in Aezak J1 that is relatively close to the WH. I agree that there should be some sort of protection or punishment. PvP may be a large part of this game, but when people start griefing newbs, that's something entirely different. In the test it was one thing, but now these people are likely costing Guild subscribers.

And last time I checked, I don't think that I want people leaving this game with a bad impression...

In Itani space lanes? This is interesting. We pirates tend to stick to the south end of space... this fellow must be a lone wolf. Not much the devs can do about this; I suggest you start requesting help. There are a lot of older players who would help you discourage this person!

Kudo's!

Oh; and at the moment everyone's a "Newb" by stats. And you lose combat for killing people with low stats anyways.

Erm. If a player Actually manages skillful incursion into Itani space and well there manages to perform covert ops and damage internal affairs and traderoutes?

Kudos to them!

That requires skill, and is an act well done.

Spoken as a Serco

If that includes PKing people in a bus, said player is stupidly damaging the game community. Killing anything else, well, more power to you...

Spider, they're discussing a habitual newbie griefer. There is no skill involved here. No kudos should be given to this cur of a pilot.

Paedric:
No, that thread is about jsteiner, an itani who hunts in the UIT space. (compare to the asshat he flew with who was camping the Initros->Ukari holes for a while)

This thread was about somone -inside- itani.

I think any serco /itani that goes to the others space to attack people should be given a medal. It is very difficult. However those 2 nations are at war.

The way I see it we need a 3 level security for newbs in this game.

1) Def bots around stations and in nation space(fix the hole in UIT space as well)

2) Reliable bounty system. -nations will post bounties on players known to kill members of their nation. ie You kill a Serco the Serco Government puts a 10k credit bounty on your head. (numbers need to be balanced of course) The greater the differences in licsence levels the greater the bounty placed.

3) Player Bounty- Players should be able to place a bounty on somebody or add to it. This could be on a global list displayed somewhere.

This would increase the number of bounty hunters, and make life harder for griefers more then pirates.

Hey uh...ku....yeah...you shouldnt....uh huh..
