I suggest that piracy as profession must be removed. The reason is very simple: piracy profession inside EU is not a game, really is a school for crime. A "pirate" steals to real people its real money. (Real people who don’t want to play with pirates and who simply want to go from one place to another place). In contrast to PVP areas of planets, where those who are inside of these areas are “playing” to steal and be stolen, travels between planets is not the same. In fact they undermine good gaming experience!. For example, nobody says, “Hey guys I'm happy that an offender stole me 15 dollars when I was leaving the planet, hehehe”. :scratch2: For that reasons, MindArk should eliminate piracy from this game!.:mad:
MindArk could place mobs in the space difficulting go from one planet to another (if MA want each planet must be a prison for players) ;), but really I think that trade between planets is what most benefits give to the game :yay: ... finally, Mindark must not training to real people about how steal real money from other real people:mad:, because piracy players are losing their moral values and could become criminals in real life :wise:. That’s my opinion about piracy (it’s a crime). :wtg::wtg:
 
dont go in pvp with shit you dont want to loose its that simple lol
 
I would prefer they give us instant planet teleportation and just let the pirates fight each other in space.

It would be better for business. Every hour wasted travelling between planets could be an hour spent cycling PEDs.
 
There are safe ways to travel between planets with loot. Risking your loot is optional.

Isn't paying real money to other players to change your avatar's x,y,z coordinates in game the same as being looted by the developers?
 
its my opinion that pirates are not the issue. MA is by giving pirates too much power. there is no balance.

pirates have warp mines, privateers and MS dont have anyway that i know to thwart them. why cant MS/privateers detect mines in their path and potentially destroy them before they are hit?

Quads have longer range weapons that don't have sib and are automatically maxed at very low level, why cant MS/privateers have equal or longer range?

why isn't there a sib chain for the vehicle weapons like all others in the game? i think vehicle weapons should be equipped by the player not pre-attached to the vehicle.

quads are very cheap while MS/privateers are very expensive to purchase and maintain and upgrade.

i have never liked that when your vehicle explodes you are ejected at 10 hp, if your ship ejected you why where you harmed? IRL if an airliner falls out of the sky and the passengers parachute out, their legs and arms weren't ripped off when the chute was deployed.

also with the 10hp BS, it removes the need to wear pk armor as it wont save you at 10hp.

why cant players who were ejected from their ships shoot back with what ever weapon they have on hand?

why dont ships have rear shields?

why does the gunner passengers angle suck and the weapon far weaker than the forward facing weapon? making defending from a pirate next to impossible when he is on your tail.

why dont buffs affect craft speed and fire rates. as far as im aware they dont.


in conclusion, MA has severely tipped the odds of survival or assault success in the pirates favor and has done nothing to tip them into a more balanced and fair system.

pirates are over-powered and every one else is prey. much like a lion with shotguns vs a neborn lamb in an open field.

pirates dont need skills, they dont need armor, they dont need much peds. near no investment of anything. they are a parasite in space. and MA wont give the rest of us any bug spray.

What about those people who already insvested thousands of dollars for build their transportation business? :scratch2:
that would never happen ofc
Danger in space and the option for safer transportation ships is part of Entropia. That I learned from day 1!!! dunno about you guys.
 
OP is just butt hurt because he made a bad decision and lost loot because of it.

1) Don't take loot into space

2) if you must take loot into space, pay for MS warp

3) if you're too cheap for MS warp then don't go into space


***i know of three MS warp services that offer flights for 10 ped or less.. if you're taking hundreds of ped of loot into space because you're too cheap for that then gtfo because you deserve to get looted.

come on, this is bullshit. Privateer could hire quad escort if they feel underpowered against quad, thus involving more player into space.
About the mothership being underpowered. lol.. It is in the name, how many quads can fit into a mothership ? seriously..

Main problem is space is crap, space investors failed to promote it let alone involving other player to partake in space.
As it is, it's just a burden for the magical 90% of the playerbase.

Let's hope new ships will be released or that you can turn your quad (L) into an (UL) adjusted version.
 
The funniest thing is the biggest whiny crybabies are the ones that arent risking anything and its just a short inconvenience for them. The ones who stay silent and accept it are the ones carrying loot. They knew and accepted the risks of going into space and still went there. Dont like it? Take a MS warp like everyone else. Lol.

No, you pay for almost everything in this game, it's RCE.

I never took "loot" in space, but no one should want to rob me what I have. that is not right.

I think the cost of my time and cost of fuel and input tax planets is more than enough to go to another planet. Why not?

The last time a friend told me that he asked to the pirates why destroyed his quad if he tell them he had no taking loot, and they said him, “you went so fast.. I thought you were taking a million dollars with you”…. These are not playing, are committing crimes!!!.

Finally nobody likes to go to space because it is “pretty” .... it's just the way to visit other planets! ... This universe is getting worse, one of the reasons it is not allow to grow trading, and damage your gaming experience.

There is no way to justify piracy, because it is a crime!!

If u are a pirate, you are a criminal... (use dictionary)
 
dont go in pvp with shit you dont want to loose its that simple lol

I have nothing against the PVP areas on planets. If you do not like PVP areas, then you will not be there.
But in space, everything is PVP. Is different!!.
 
Planet pvp you can avoid in many ways. no extortion like pay for ride if not you will be harassed or killed resulting in loosing time, armor decay or other type of financial damage.

In space ppl use mothership because it have wrap for fast travel, for moving resources we have other ways like auction etc.

Most ppl who use own vehicle do so because they don't want to pay mothership and is obvious that they don't have any thing to be looted. What remain is pure harassment or ganking if you want. Because you will be shoot down from SS of starting planet, sometimes in between too and near SS of destination planet.

I could understand if quad get destroyed by space mobs, or maybe alien robot spaceship - that could be part of game.
But that some low lifer log in game with only objective to harsh other players making them to loose time, not allowing them to enjoy their gameplay is very bad firstly from MA and their bad implementation.

Small solution witch do not require much programing would be to have "I'm empty" Flag.
Just like we have blue flag, red flag, - there could be flag showing that quad don't have lootables.
That is easy part and do not serve for nothing because low lifers will shoot any way.
Next step is game mechanic rule for accepting fight or duel.
If offender shoot without permission (fight or duel accepted) an quad flagged as empty - offender get automatically disconnected and banned for 24 hours.

Another solution (lol) that MA forbid quad usage in space because owners of motherships need to earn some peds so players don't have any choice - that is very easy to implement, same as they removed interplanetary teleports.
 
bah, just create an alt avatar on each planet like others do and transport your shit from one to another via auction with the transport fee... make the markup way higher than 'real' buyers will like so they won't outbid you giving your other wallet some cash over yonder.

I also thought the same. That option should exist, so we save time, and we can go anywhere. Trade and economy grow, Entropia Universe too.

To have several avatars is a crime according MindArk. (Please read EULA!)
besides, why you could not hunt or mine with your level on another planet?

In other words, we should all lose a good gaming experience because 10 players wish play to be criminals? (stealing real money to real people) :scratch2:

No need several avatars, just put resource you want to transfer on auction, travel empty on destination planet and there take it with buy out, or set auction to 1 day only, when expire take it on destination planet by paying transport fee only.
Or let it on auction - expired but under won - after 6 months game will automatically put it in your storage on planet you will be at that time, with no any cost no any fee.
 
No, you pay for almost everything in this game, it's RCE.

So, I assume you had no objections to Neverdie proposing TP fees?

You'd agree that there are ways to travel without using the TP so it would be all good?

Maybe you should make your own game with fairies and unicorns in space and you can ride them and nobody ever gets hurt !! :)

Thank you. That is exactly what I am doing. But, what more we must suffer because a dozen individuals remain happy, robbing to new players, or to those who do not know about this possibility?

No sir. Entropia Universe is not EVE. This is RCE. So piracy is a crime. Let us not allow that.

Maybe you need to know more of the laws of every country in the world. :wise:
Sir, unicorns do not exist, only you should not encourage to steal dollars. :wise:
Or in your country, Is it legal to steal? Where do you live? Maybe in your country you live with unicorns for criminals, obviously. :laugh:

I could live with it. When I started this game there were few TP's, no vehicles and not enough skill to use tp chip.
 
There are safe ways to travel between planets with loot. Risking your loot is optional.

TPs? these do not exist between planets.
Mother ships? They are not available when you need them.
And why we should suffer, because two idiots wants to steal real money?

It seems MA doesn't want it to be too easy to travel between planets. As they say, don't hate the player, hate the game.

At what time are you looking for a warp flight ?

You mean hate the game maker.

Don't hate the thief because stealing is made legal? And don't hate the tycoon you're forced to turn to if you want to be safe from them? It is useless, yes. But it's not how humans work.

If all this didn't remind me so much of the botched setup we call a government, it could actually be a game.
 
I will like a safe way to travel, don't remove entirely the pirating stuff, some retards need their fun, even dough they pay for it like stopid, but give us a safe way to travel, that only involves self flight.
It's agains't democracy to not have a choice, and I don't mean motherships or other workarounds.

To many thing ti do in this game, when the only fun parts are the main activities, hunt, mine, craft, I really don't understand people who spend money on different things then those.

You want a plot and gardening?? Play sims, it's free
You want pirating, play other bullshit, free games
You want pets, go to Facebook and play dumb games there.

And to come back, if in IRL, a government will create a area where there is legal to kill others and take their shit, we will have riots and civil wars, in Entropia it seems it is ok..... Playground for evolving criminals.
 
Maybe you need to know more of the laws of every country in the world. :wise:
Sir, unicorns do not exist, only you should not encourage to steal dollars. :wise:
Or in your country, Is it legal to steal? Where do you live? Maybe in your country you live with unicorns for criminals, obviously. :laugh:

In my country it's not legal to hunt animals with machine (or laser:)) gun. It's not even legal to own a gun. Or to dig in the ground and extract minerals without consent. Or to fly a fighter if I want to go from one city to another.

But Entropia Universe is a GAME with its own rules. Saying that "in real life its not legal" is just stupid - with that attitude You would have to ban most games (even Sims - as You can choose criminal career there too:)).
As many said before there is a safe way of traveling between planets with loot - just use it.

PS. Unicorns don't exists but neither does feffoid's, aurli's and so on:)
