Ok. Here's my read on all the ideas so far.
Disengagement Rule Ideas(1) I like the
3 minute/weapons fired no disengagement rule. This would make pilots assess the situation quickly and eliminate the delaying mission tactic that is being used. (i.e. hey George, keep his DN in mission while we run up this hex crap). Normal disengage time penalties would still need to apply for strategic hex flipping reasons.
Diehard, your point about map sizes being used in missions is absurd. How much room do you really need to use a run and gun tactic? Your missing the main point there. If you decide to stay and fight, then do so. Adjust your tactics to the map size being used and do your thing.
(2) Dfly, your opposite side only disengagement is interesting, but I think ultimately it would just create flaming opportunites about if such and such pilot actually disengaged on the right side. Very interesting idea though but let's use KISS thoery whenever we can.
PvP VC Point System(1) Ship class VC system. Use the hull class to determine the PVP VCs gained in a live pilot kill. Yes, I realized that this will force the admins to separate all the ships used into the different hull classes, but at least the work will be done all up front and not during the server. IMHO certain speciality ships should be classified as one hull size larger to represent that they are highly prized kills to prevent your enemy from having that drone hex flipper, nasty heavy destroyer, etc., etc.,
1 DD/FF hull class
2 CL (includes DD hull specialilty ships)
3 CA (includes CL speciality ships)
4 BCH (includes CA specialites, fast cruisers, etc.)
5 DN (including CA hull full carriers)
Now, I realize that the idea of what ships are considered speciality ships varies from pilot to pilot. Admins, you can put the list open to discussion, but I think you will just have to ultimately decide yourselves where you want all the certain ships to be.
The PVP VC point system based on this would be 1VC for an equal hull size kill, 2 VCs for killing the next hull class(CL killing CA), 4 VC pts for killing a ship 2 hull sizes bigger, and 8 VC pts for killing a ship 3 hull sizes bigger. Easy to adjust pre-server by what the admins want.
For multiple pilot battles, you could always just say well 2xCAs killed a single DN pilot, 2 VCs total for the smaller ships killing the larger one just based on the difference. This certainly would stick with the KISS theory, but might be very unpopular. On computing VCs for non 1v1 PVP matches, I'm unsure how to proceed without adding complexity to it.
At least the end result would be here that the admins could see the kill post saying Fred's CLC killed George's BCH and know how to score the VC easily. The pilots would only have to make sure they had the correct ships listed.
(2) Corbomite, your idea of challenges is good, but don't you always have the opportunity to call out your opponents. The hull class system above would incorporate any kills made by challenge.
(3) PVP VCs by rank. NO. I got to agree with DH here. Just because someone might be a nutter with tons of Prestige pts, doesn't make them a better PVP pilot and worth more VC points. (take me for example
)
(4) More VC points for number of kills. An interesting idea Hexx, but one that certainly seems like a nightmare to keep up with. You would have timing issues with when kills were posted in the forums, counting errors. Hell, I'm an accountant and this idea seems very evil to me. Sorry.
(5) My idea to add.
BOUNTIES!! I have always liked being able to place bounties on my fellow pilots flying for the enemy. If someone is being a pain in the butt, then stick a bounty on him worth 5 VCs so that everyone is out looking for him. I have been very entertained by some of the reasons why certain pilots are always getting bounties place on them!! (
me included) This adds some fun spice IMHO. I would suggest making the bounty period only 2 or 3 days, not a week. You could make the bounty VC only count for the initial kill of that pilot, or give the bounty VC bonus TO EACH AND EVERY PILOT who killed them during their bountied period. HOW ABOUT SOME BOUNTIES!!
