Heya, CIG Seems like this topic, especially with the addition of so many new, unique accounts since 2019, might need to be publicly addressed again. For those of us in the project for a while, it's been generally accepted that PVP will be an aspect of this game, and one that's an accepted and planned part of this game and this universe (even the delivery vans have guns - SC was originally more similar to Mad Max in space than anything else). However... It seems there's a vocal portion of this community that are wanting controlled PVP (PVP can only occur in certain areas, or on certain missions, and so on), "sanctioned" PVP (where both sides need to agree to it for it to occur), or no PVP at all (I fully expect a few PicardPalms from that crowd, Spectrum being Spectrum...). This topic is starting to get pretty toxic, both in these forums (and other SC forums) and in-game: a voice coming down from "on high" from CIG saying: "PVP will be a planned part of this game, and when you leave the docks, you accept that" [EVE style, which CR and crew have mentioned wanting in the distant past] or "we will eventually have a PVP slider/PVP will be controlled/etc" [a PVP slider being something else CR and crew have mentioned in the distant past] It would be very helpful in letting players, new and old, know what the plan and expectations are. We have a lot of refugees coming here from another game with very different views on PVP - might be a good idea to set, or reset, the bar for the PU so everyone's on the same page.
