Why not, cryptic could dedicate the first 5 instance maps to open world PVP. People would love it. You could have Klingons sneaking around on ESD and Feds on First City. Maybe even dedicat 1 of the Maps to PVP based missions so we could interact with each others worlds.
It could be World vs World 40 man vs. 40 man battles. Everything needed for this is already there. Crptics just needs to remove the faction lock on visiting each others Worlds. I think it would be fun.

So basicaly after reading everyones response, I'm to believe the STO player base can't handle pvp becasue its players are a bunch of zanex crazey nervous idiots that couldn't handlly pvp in a game that should be legendary when it comes from the STO lore of Klingons and Feds fighting each other for oh....about 2-3 centuries. On and off of course. I'm not buying it. I think it would work and players would Love it...wait thats not what i meant..nvm.
Mike's Hard Pruneade...a Romulan Ale beverage.
From today's Tribble notes...
...there's more, but I snipped the rest.

Personally, I think they were just holding on to it until enough frustration had built...so they could turn and say, "Look...we did something for PvP and for the KDF!"
Kind of like those "aesthetic" changes for the KDF...tinfoil hat #325 believes that because of how the KDF look in missions and some Feddies complained about how they looked - so that's why those are being addressed. Kind of like the Intel stuff got changed (PvP blamed) but it was changed because the new enemies were going to be using it.
I also forsee a lot of rage in zone chat when people are trying to use the exchange lol
so simply answer:
NO.
if there was a seperate instance for it however........then it might be doable but still lol
Yeah, I prefer to be left alone while I am doing my thing (Exchange terminal) on ESD, First City, New Romulus.
However... if I get the option to instantly disintegrate an offending toon which would cause that toon to be permanently deleted from the player's account... then I suppose I can deal with it...
Eh. This is a typical modern PvE-focused MMO...... which means it has a rudimentary & unbalanced PvP minigame duct-taped on the side of it, as well as a small & vocal group of forumites who keep trying to insist that PvP is the center of the game and why aren't the devs spending more time on it? :rolleyes:
(Personally, I think the two game types should be kept separate. If you want to play PvP, play a PvP game designed for & around it. If you want to play PvE, play a game designed for & around it. All these attempts to blend the two just lead to poor programming, unfocused development, and clashing attitudes on forums & in chat.)
How is it forced when you'll be making the choice to go into a PvP instance, fully accepting that you could be attacked at any time?
Besides I've never seen every instance of a place full outside of the first days after a season or expansion release. I feel it's safe to assume that 9.5 times out of 10 they'll be enough free spaces for the risk averse.
"Admiral Quinn here, congratultions, you have reached level 10, report to my office on ESD for your new pips and a free ship requisition token, ASAP"
"Welcome to Sol, do you wish to dock?"
"Welcome to ESD, you have been murdered on the transporter pad by NoobKillingPvPA$$hat..."
"Do you wish to Respawn?"
"Cannot beam to ship while dead"
"Do you wish to Respawn?"
"Welcome to ESD, you have been murdered on the transporter pad by NoobKillingPvPA$$hat..."
"Do you wish to Respawn?"
"Welcome to ESD, you have been murdered on the transporter pad by NoobKillingPvPA$$hat..."
"Do you wish to Respawn?"
"NoobKillingA$$hat has acheived 5000 kills, and reached PvP-Leet Rank"
"Do you wish to Respawn?"
Erm... Just NO, ok? Been tried elsewhere before, always been a total disaster.

Or, people simply don't care to be harassed/trolled by strangers in social zones. Then again, you and Druk didn't understand that at the Vulcan Memorial, so I don't expect you to understand it now.
Even the PvP friendliest game in the world, EVE has intentionally created areas with High Security were PvP is at least suicidial, if not hopeless.
Using ESD or Q'Onos as a PVP map, sure... But certainly not in the same context as the social hub versions of the map.
This makes me want to strap a couple high-grade nuclear devices to my ship, scream "THIS IS JIHAD!" and ram it in to ESD. Wait no... that would be counter productive. I'd end up releasing all teh ESD trolls on to sector space(not that this isn't happeneing already). But, its not something I'd curse my worst enemy with.
Played wow for a while did ya?
Nope, but I did play Freelancer, and remember how most modded servers had to declare the system with the game startup point a safe zone, because high end VHF pilots would park a gunshots length from the docking ring, and slaughter new players as they made their first launch.
Some tried to do this while clocked, became so bad merely mentioning cloaks on the servers forum would usually be an instant thread close, and often a site ban.
All that happened was the Titan-Boyz of Clan Mc NoobKiller relocated to the non safe end of the jumpgates leading from the start up system and demanded millions of creds in 'tax' from new players who didn't have 2 creds to rub together, THAN slaughter them.
