Do not want.

greater risk = greater reward. If you don't want to get ganked, bring friends or stay home. They will most likely add content on both sides of the PvP/PvE spectrum. But for an indie game what they have now as a core is absolutely fantastic.

You need to stop with the doom & gloom the day after release and please remove your head from your rectum while your at it.

If the high-risk materials could be farmed on Alpha Islands in great quantity/efficiency there would be limited reason for corps to push out into the Beta Islands.

As I said earlier. Get friends. This is an MMO, not a game for you to solo and then *** that your soloing has limited content.

Did you read and better yet did you comprehend what I said......I don't think so read it again ...read it a couple more times maybe it will sink in.

1) I never said anything about changing mineral nods. I said make more islands plain and simple is standard English.

2) There are more solo carebear players than there will ever be pvpers, they are where gaming companies are making money. WoW proves that. Pvpers are a very small minority infinitesimal to the wider much larger cearbear gaming market.

I agree the Bate islands need not change at all. I still think the number of Beta and Alpha islands needs a significant increase. I like the idea of adding content to the alpha islands to. I think that would attract more carebears who would be content to live there. I think to that if the cearbears ever wanted a rush they could go out into the Betas for a bit of pvp once in a while. Who knows they might even get hooked on the adrenaline rush.

Like I said so far I like the game i don't think the mechanics need to change at all they work. Adding more of both types of islands would be easy and cheap. Adding more content for the cearbears on alpha probably would come from an expansion down the road.

ar·gu·ment
/ˈɑrgyəmənt/ Show Spelled[ahr-gyuh-muhnt] Show IPA
–noun
1. an oral disagreement; verbal opposition; contention; altercation: a violent argument.
2. a discussion involving differing points of view; debate: They were deeply involved in an argument about inflation.
3. a process of reasoning; series of reasons: I couldn't follow his argument.
4. a statement, reason, or fact for or against a point: This is a strong argument in favor of her theory.

arguments don't have to be hate mongering *** fests. I don't agree with your opinion. If you think the Alpha islands are over-populated then try venturing away from the main terminal to an outpost......most of them are empty. When they get over 2K people online then maybe they will need more islands.

Where exactly are you seeing such a concentration of players? Because outside of the 'starter' terminals......the islands are ghost lands.

My questions has nothing at all to do with PvP. Please try again.

lol

I'm a carebear but I like swimming with sharks. Stop making generalisations about 'carebears' some of us also accept the risks in a PvP game and find it adds excitement. Just need to approach the game for what it is and play it to its full.

Well sir that means you are not a carebear. You are something else ...I have not coined a name for PvE/PvP players maybe semi pvper will do.

But my primes still stands the game world is to small and it will cram the pvp and pve people together enough so that the true pve players the ones who NEVER indulge in pvp will not pay to play this game.

I respect all play styles...my best friend is a hard core cearbear. He hates pvp with a passion like none other. But i still like gaming with him.

I like pvp,  find it imposable to be interested in a game without pvp.

I have never once said to change the Bate islands .... not once. The game mechanics work they do not need to change not one bit. Game mechanics should stay as they are.

***throws her hand in the air and walks away mumbling about dense people***

Disclaimer first: I am a carebear so far, i cart stuff from terminal to terminal making money off what i buy and sell, this does mean that occasionally i need to ask for help to get out to the stations on the outer isles to drag ammo and the like out. I do have a combat account, i go out and blow up NPC mechs, mission run, etc. but have not really wanted to go out to the outer isles yet. I do the same thing in EvE and love it, except there i have two accounts that are both merchants, neither account even has weapons on ships, lol.

There is a big difference between us in our flabby bodies going into the water with sharks, and working with others before going out into a PvP area.....
If you do not ever want to interact with others (which you said at least once earlier) and think there are a lot of other people here that feel the same i fear you are mistaken.
For one this is an MMO, perhaps more than other MMO's (other than EvE) the whole idea is interaction with others.
Secondly when you started out, you did not immediately rush out and take on star mechs did you? Did not swim with the sharks until you became as bad as they were?
You were barely able to handle the drones they sent you out against, same as the rest of us. Then as you learn the game and pick up some skills you fight tougher and tougher bots. The same has to happen with PvP areas, we all need to learn ways to get in and out relatively safely, what not to do, etc. You evolve in the game where to some degree you become a shark that can handle the other sharks in your pool.

As someone pointed out before there are plenty of carebears that go into the PvP areas for whatever reason and we have learned to swim with the sharks

...yes, i am carebear, if attacked in PvP i will run before using my measly weapons to hide shaking behind the legs of the nearest friendly bristling with guns lol....

An interesting thing to note, PvPers do sometimes need carebears (and the other way around). If the fighting gets hot and heavy, ammo supplies start running low, guess what? I can come running in with a load of ammo, they can blow me up, or let me in to start selling, if they do not like my prices i will not be welcomed back (other than as meat), if they blow me up, i can embargo them, or hurt them by playing the market (if they put in remote buy and sell orders i could do much better with that last though, lol)

I agree that more space would be better, for a few reasons, but mostly because the paths between alpha and Beta Isles are few and narrow. I am waiting for an enterprising large corp to decide to blockade between them, it would not be overly hard.
