Add warps for quad
Let the space wars starts
I totally agree with the OP.
That said, I am using MS services on a regular basis, usually one or two times a week in order to get max MU for certain ores (not that many warps atm as i am really busy rl and have absolutely no time for mining these days). And as I stated before within the context of other threads I very much dislike pirates.
This as well as other threads in this section of PCF does obviously attract a vast spectrum participants. There is a variety of interested factions (ms/ privateer owners, their customers, pirates, people having issues with pvp...) and ofc a disparity of opinions. All seem to somehow agree that the contemporary concept of space is not well balanced/ half-baked/ not working well.
From my point of view there are four options:
a) Follow Chilix suggestion and disable the log-off function. I read a variety of interesting posts in this thread and others where suggestions where made on how this could be realised in useful ways. I really think this implementation is sth which would make a lot of sense + I really dont mind space being sth dangerous and the travel within space more risky, even if that means that transport fee is going to rise as economy will adapt.
b) Enable TP between planets for a set fee (again). I know that has been the only opportunity for interplanetary travel in past. So lets say the fee is 12ped. I dont want to offend individual participants/ groups that made huge 'investments' in order to own space ships and to provide all those services. But I would like to see some equity. As the entire point of lootable pvp is screwed up by allowing avatars to transpot things completely without risk through pvp4 L. Who is the only faction that gains a
real advantage from the current situation? Those who own a space ship. Certainly not their customer as it is hassle being tied to schedules, waiting for summons, tping down to planet and ofc it does cost ped. So why not screw with everyone in an equal way and set up that tp again?!
So pirates can go on and hunt down and loot those few who transport stackables via vtol/ quad... so basically what they do anyways. Furthermore no advantage is being provided by the game anymore to those owning a spaceship and are allowed to provide services in pseudo pvp4. All factions are then screwed equally.. well except the majority of participants that can just hit the tp button for 12ped at any time they intend doing so
c) disable lootable space, which would again screw with all the dedicated maybe even commited people that own space ships. Because who would need/ pay for a ms/ privateer warp service in order to travel between planets if there is no thread other than those few spacemobs at set places?? Only a few persons that need a swift warp to another planet eg in order to buy sth would still use warps. For sure there would still be a bunch of people who like to skill VSE but what for? Ofc it is a fast way of unlocking bpc and skill crafting. And I am sure a few people think that they will become an uber crafter that way. But we all know that it eventually does require one more little thing in order to follow any profession here in EU...
d) Space MKII. A total space overhaul provided by MA (well beyond our imaginations)
Under given circumstances I am gald that we have MS services. Just wanted to share my personal point of view.
