Topic: Outpost ganking
Had my first PvP experience the other day. I play pretty casually, killed a few Arkha's, killed a few one on one in Castel, nothing to brag about I know, killed 2 v 1 - nothign to brag about either. Castel should be able to handel 2 service droids. Then the guys just ate me by none-stop spawning in starter arkhas lol. Good job CN . You can kill a dragon eventually if you just keep poking with a stick, right? All you need is determination. Which yuo guys had enough. Or you just like to grief.. hehe.
My question here is:
When corporation has an outpost enemy corporation members can easily get there, dock and do whatever else they want. So they basically can gank you all day at your own outpost. Whats the point for corporation to have an Outpost in beta island? Is that a matter of prestige cause I don't really see any other point. There are no defence mechanisms, there are no access restrictions. In other words outpost is open for everyone either it belongs to any corporation or not.
It was my first PvP experience so I didn't know that Outposts are actually so open for everyone to use them. And since after you blown up you get free arkha with bullets and guns you can gank the heck out of anyone there lol. Do they really expect us to have 5-10 people patrolling teleport to outpost 24/7, but what for really? if 4 people decide to grief they can just make that outpost their home on a secondary account which doesn't even need any EPs invested. 4 Arkhas respawning as soon as dead - thats like none-stop DPS. Maybe not too big of DPS but enough to take down Light droid or assault droid - piece a cake.
Suggestion:
What you guys think about an adjustment to allow only the owning corporation members to have access to the beta island outpost? They can still gank and grief you, but they would have to come all the way from the Alpha Terminal if they are blown up and wouldn't be able to none stop respawn and grief. They would actually have to be more organized and plan their blockades on teleporters and we would have a chance to confront them by being able to regroup at OUR outpost. Does that make sense?
