Instead of Feds working with Klingons to save Romulans, it should have been the two factions against each other to see who can shred through AI Tholians or whoever the fastest. Both factions in same map but opposite ends of map. The AI ships throw out ships and tactics at each side, like a pitcher throwing different pitches to a batter. Make anticipating what attack formation the enemy throws at us just as important as raw firepower. Both sides win Romulan Rep, but the side that kills the most enemies in X amount of time gets the bigger loot table and more Rep per teammember.

    there should have been a romulan like karrat in the new sector, so you could do something pvp like and get romulan marks. karrat should also give omega marks...



    that azure nebula mission wile great as is, something like that would have been a perfect pvp warzone. having fed and klings fighting over who saves the romulan ships from tholians.

    I agree they had a great opp here to create another open zone. Considering all the bugs Kerrat is still fairly popular. Its a shame they didn't do something new for the rom zone.

    While the idea is sound, there needs to be 2 things considered.
    You need be able to flag yourself for PvP if you want to do it on while on such an important map or the griefing would be endless.
    And second the Klingons are vastly outnumbered by Feds,so they would always be at a distinct disadvantage... again, griefing alert.

    Alternative would be to have adedicated PvP instance you can beam down to.

    When you go into orbit you can choose which one you want to enter.

    The entire Sector shoulda been OPvP. There were already 2 romulan sectors they could've used for the PvE.

    the kerrat type of maps would be perfect for pvp minded people to earn the appropriate reputation by inserting whatever enemy is needed for them to earn it....


    this seems to be a simple fix to a lot of the worry/neglect ive read about towards to pvp community as a whole, why cant this be done?

    That won't happen! If pvp starts giving useful rewards, a large portion of the players will show up, and then everyone will find out how neglected PvP really is! No, we got to herd the flock towards the new and shiny content! :p

    but from what i understand, its been 3 years of neglect that has led to the low pvp turnout...

    people dont play it because nothing has been done to it and nothing has been done to it because noone plays it....

    Well, in my opinion one of the biggest issues is the lack of pvp-centric content. Or even tangentially pvp-centric content. When the fleet system came out, pvp was sadly neglected. They could have had a fleet-vs-fleet pvp system that awarded fleet marks, and I'm sure many fleets would have jumped at the chance, but they didn't.

    And now we've got Omega and Romulan marks going, and still no PvP content. We're cycling through the same maps over and over, and the only thing changing are the ships. There is SUCH a wealth of potential for PvP and they're not taking advantage of it, and it produces a vicious cycle.

    Not only do I want another Ker'rat, I want a bunch! Open PVP zone, with territorial control (I always thought that Eta Eridani, Alpha Centari, Psi Velorum, Pi Canis should have been this... If you are on a FE mission, or Story line... then perhaps you have multiple entry options (exactly how it is today). But Patrol missions (which should have daily awards) you are going to patrol the system (ground/space)... which has NPC's as well as the potential for other factions being on patrol as well.

    But there needs to be objectives (preferably different ones for each side) (aside from getting blown up every few minutes (Full Disclosure, I am not the best at PVP).

    I still think they could do this in so many other "zones". Why couldn't there be a PVP Starbase Blockade (Attackers get points for destroying freighters, defenders for saving). PVP Starbase Incusursion (Defenders, same goal as today (stop the incursion) attackers, plant bombs). Colony Defense seems ripe as well...

    Sigh... if only ;)
