The most funny part for me is that MA made in such a way, that there is more action on space vs pvp lootable from planets where investment and the gain for Entropia is more higher. I think MA must fix some things in space by allowing the avatar skills and hp to contribute more in this pvp fights. I tell you this because i don't think is fair that a player who invest much more in he's avatar to have the same advantage vs a pirate. So ...the pirates are satisfied to have the lvl profession standing minimum for using a kismek and than they don't do nothing...just staying there and hiding and waiting. MA can make in such a way to change this, for example to be able to pvp in space, someone must get some Karma points which will let them a definite period of time to be able to shoot someone in space; this is just an example. In this way they force you to be involved more in the game process.
I really hope that someone from MA will read this post, and will take a fair decision for all of us, instead of fixing gauntlet and other insignificant aspects for noobs which until now was a big exploit for players to get 10 peds from mission.
If someone don't agree with me.... just lock at perspective point of view, from which this thread was made; was made to teach you how to don't be a prey. Is to teach you how to defeat yourself which I think is a very good post. Was not made to teach you how to use all your advantage and have a fair chance in defeating a pirate. And if you think that you have tons of skills in space and few thousandth ped's loot on, and you are in a confrontation face to face with a pirate in space with no loot and only half of your hp, is something fair..... then think again.
Anyway... the rules from space are not from a win-win perspective and my main question for MA is that: If I spend resources in developing my avatar... why I'm not allow in space to be able of using them? If we have some hard worked avatars, why we don't have the chance to fight against pirates in condition mentioned up.
So, there is not a fair fight, when all your skills and gear being useless, knowing that you have for example loot on you vs a pirate who has nothing and just a tiny hp?
Myself and other high skilled players ware looted in such condition and as I say... is not a win-win game plan.
There must be something which will make the difference, because with this rules some are allow only to leach from game.
rEspect!
