I'm in. I'm finally on a routable, so I'll be able to connect and well.

[FPF-DieHard]

I should be able to get some time in.  Even more if it's going on around X-mas and New Years.

Yeah right!!!!   

You've run a campaign before, you know there's no way in HELL this is going to start before Jan 1.   

Though I do have the last two weeks of the year off . . .

Dizzy, get me a map and a plot!!!!

[FPF-DieHard]

Got a whacky idea regarding PvP kill VC points.  Since we've got a bunch of new/returning players I don't want them to be worried about hurting their side if they loose a ship in PvP.   I want them to be un-affraid to go out their and kill.

But I also want kills to mean something

So . . .

Hows abouts you (the player, not the character or ship) are only worth VC points if you have at least 1 confirmed kill?

Think about it.

[Pestalence_XC]

I kinda like that.. sort of a bounty server.

1 confirmed kill, you're worth 1 pt.
2 for 2
etc.

However I think ship size needs to be taken into account.. I would think points or kills count while in line class ships. Double if you are killed in a specialty?

[knightstorm]

Would that rule result in people without kills intentionally taking falls early on so that their opponents will be worth points later?

I haven't played on the D2 in years, and I'd like to. I'd just need to find my OP disk and finally solve my longstanding login problem...

I'd like ships to cost DV's when they are destroyed or disengage. Let's say you lose 20 DV's in PvP. No biggie, go flip some hexes to make up for it. The DV's at the end of a round will be added up to offset or add to any Hex ownership progress directly on the map. I also want to cheapen ship prices so it doesnt hurt pp wise when you buy the farm. There will be a penalty box for losing a special ship so you'll have to wait a while or so to fly another one, but line ships wont have that problem. Die in one, go get another and hop right back into the action. No more hex ban rules. I want to use heavy metal rules to keep the playing field realistic as well.

The dynamic this will create is one where players will more likely stick around and fight it out and one where casual PvP engagements wont hurt when you lose a lot of them. You'll still have big fleet hunts, becuase in a big 3v3 a lot of DV's could be up for grabs... I think this will make the game more fun for everyone...

That sounds good, it would help take the stress out of fighting PvP but still give pluses and minuses to it.

Not with my simple rule.  Pesty's is too complicated.

You ain't worth squat until you make a kill.

This could work to.

As far as heavy metal goes, I think at this time the ONLY rules needed are CnC rules are to what can fly together.  20 people can be on in DNs as long as they don't wing with each other.

Yes, but I can see someone intentionally taking a dive against me early on in the campaign when neither of us are worth points so I will be worth points when I get blown up him or his buddies later.

[Dizzy]

Ya, use fleeting rules... less CnC.

[GDA-S'Cipio]

I'm certainly interested!

I definetly agree here

A simple "no shenanigans" clause will work fine.  Shenanagins =  whatever the Fruck Dizzy and I say with 100% our discretion will prevent this from being abused.

A rule like that makes a sucky pilot like me a good pump to raise the value of the enemy. But not everyone has a royal suck on flying like me.

Geez, you're rough on yourself Marstone.  We all started somewhere... don't sweat it.

Sad part is, I am really good at SFB, good against AI.  Die like dogs against players.

[FPF-Paladin]

Haha, sounds like me then   The breaking point for me was getting away from being too defensive and too predictable.  Oh, and getting my hull kicked out from underneath me - a lot
