So.. 2nd time in the last month, I come in from space on a trip from Arkadia to find PA Mall in PVP and I guess the owner (?) is shooting people at the landing pad. I do not know how often this is happening but I think it is time to move the port in to a neutral place given whatever the hell is happening here.
Request: Given that PA Mall landing pad is no longer neutral, I think it is time we reactivate Athena Spaceport. It is a space port afterall.
Perhaps some folks can shed some light on what is going on here.
I second this as I am tired of the owner's attitude aswell as the lack of sense it makes, when we have a Spaceport on the planet that is neutral to begin with. Not only that, but it would also solve a big issue, which is the randomness in the landing area that sometimes it forces me out of the pilot seat, as all of Port Atlantis is a no vehicle zone, except the Mall, which I assume is for the landing reasons.
Must be changed. No player should have this "right" to choose who lands safely on a planet or not.
I shall submit the Support Case to the proper entities, and reply to whoever wishes to know details in private, not through here, to avoid potential derailing of the OP's topic. Constructive criticism only from my part.
Very surprising as a Mall Owner would ideally want people to come to the Mall rather then run away. Was there an event or something going on? Malls have in the past run pvp events which I am told were fun for all.
Do not see the surprise at all when the victim of these attacks has been me for two times in a row. I guess, from the owner's own private messages to my person, were very clear why he has done it. This is borderline harassment now, and I will take the necessary actions as I see fit.
With luck! MindArk will realize that, while the owner can do as he pleases, and target whoever he wishes, I as a Spaceship owner, am not allowed to land anywhere else on this planet, except on this Mall (Port Atlantis Mall), since that is the default landing area as stated by the OP, and the owner turns on PVP and off as he pleases, and from what I have gathered, has been only at me specificaly. First time there were no witnesses and even I was confused by the attack. Second time, which was earlier today, I saw it coming and retaliated defensively. There were witnesses on this one aswell, one being the OP aparently.
This
must be changed, as it is the only planet that does this.
Why must it be changed? Not only do we have a Spaceport on Calypso, Athena Spaceport, it is not neutral ground, specialy since the owner decides to turn on pvp for giggles or whatever he wishes. This is hazardous as more griefing can occur in the future.
It would make so much sense to have people arrive at Athena Spaceport given the name , the fact that its the highest place on calypso with a tp to launch back into space.
Would be awesome if mindark could put a flight information system (array of displays) around the tp that are disconnected from the main broadcasting network and where owners of warp ships could list their schedule against a fee, maybe even consider a ticket system down the road and a secondary summon option for ticket holders. So much potential.
Port Atlantis is mainly a seat port nowadays.
Yes, I don't think they need to implement more systems really, as it only strains this already straining game engine (it was never meant to work with all these systems that MindArk created and altered) but Athena Spaceport? Yes, please... Only makes ALL sense, roleplay wise and technical wise.
I haven't had this happening to me yet but thanks very much for the heads-up. (Does the landowner have power to set the lootable flag?)
That Athena should be our designated spaceport, like its name already suggests, I said 3 years ago here:

Happened to me, two times now. As a Land Owner myself I can tell you yes he does have the power to turn on pvp in his estate, not lootable.
