mechs next time?
Sign me up. Arbalest here.
Looks like it will be Mechs next time as I have started to work out a formula for how to make it "fair" and we won't have unkillable tyranos vs each other in the end.
I am not a PvP player, but I support these events.
As my contribution to the community, I will donate 10 million NIC for the awarding of prizes for the winners.
Thank you Kazimir Casus
We still need more people willing to put robots on the line in the assault class
Can you enter both of these?
If so, sign me up for both.
If not I'll do the high-EP tourny
I'll let your miner/indy toon do the low EP one if you screen shot the weapons part and robot control tree on your extentions and send it to me to show its a "low combat" skilled toon, and what Assault will you bring on Shaedys?
Low EP Light bot applicants just show up @ galoly around tourny start time.
High EP Assault pilots please sign up on this thread with the toon you plan to use and what race assault you will pilot. So I have a head start on match ups.
[EDIT] Any truely new player wishing to come pvp get in contact with me I will supply you a light bot and maybe a mod or two, and pay your entry, as I'm sure quiet a few other vets would be willing to do.

Mercs for hire read above link
-I had to mine with yagel until I had enough NIC for Argano and it was a great gain to get my first Sequer.
Today it is quite easy for new player to join corp where Argano or Sequer is given free for active member.
Given someone a free sequer gives him a lot of possibilities, but eliminates the possibility for him to have the great feeling I had when entering first time an Argano or Sequer.And actually I really like that this game has no pay-for-win button.
The only thing I would accept is possibility to speed up EP gain for up to ~150k after finishing a starting periode, as 50k and 150k
QFT tho I grinded kernals back when their was a awesome market and drop rate for them to get my first wasp then used my wasp to grind all my indy bots for my indy alt.
There is also the quote from eve "just cause you can drive/fly it doesn't in any way mean you should fly it."
Mechs with low skill will always be out dps'd by an assault with OK skills when killing lights and assaults. Best advice I ever got in perp was from Phalanx he said plan to use a mech 2 months after you buy it cause by then you will have the skills to use it.
I agree with Baal it comes down to you being patient and planning what skills you will boost and having long term goals.

Sorry.... that was all me
I knew it 
Khader, thanks for you response to that. The thing about the storyline mission that i would like to know, is the NIC, Item and Token "reward". Standing rewards are in no relation to the effort for about 99% of the missions anyway.
The Storyline missions ask you to travel between all three alpha2 islands. I guess there is way more loot that you can carry anyway. At least one of the mission lines asks you to kill a Pelistal Officer at the so-called Missile Depot. I consider that one as a "Mini-Boss", since its a named NPC.
The "officer" is just a 3rd/4th star mech unless they updated the missions to include Elites as bosses.
Will run it again when I get time in a few days & update you then.
Going to try a Autocannon Artimis and Mk2 Troiar (mission taker) to kick the mission off.
Funny I remember when RG was using log offs on nova effectivly and 62nd just kept at it now 62nd uses them and they are a blight on the game. Every PVP game I ever played has had forms of docking games and logg off traps its a part of the game. Just as the tactic bait and switch.... use a small bot to lure people in to your big bot. You could even go as far as saying CIR was using log off traps by letting 62nd go all the way under Dana before logging in and undocking 7-12 accounts, we would watch Nova channel go from 12 online to over 25 in a few mins after we got on their island.
I pee'd in your pool!!!!
Blink: in WOW is an abality used by a mage to teleport itself 10m in any direction.....
Just no the game to client already hates it when you teleport using a teleporter this wouldn't help that any.
And on second thought how would this abality solve the transparent robots?
Storyline
I need informations from someone who has bothered recently to do them several times. Is it worth? does the "Endboss" actually drop something that makes it worth grinding INDUSTRIAL standing to do those 99% combat missions?
I ran the ICS one twice with my indy alt and used an Mk2 Artimis as the killing bot... was a bit overkill but soloing it with an Mk1 artimis would have taken a seasoned PVE pilot as they would be -1 head slot due to the geoscanner and could be out of accu to fast.... and their was no "End Boss" and the relations I gained could have been grinded up faster in other ways. The big point minus to the whole thing was it made me go to shinj from tellesis in a plated mech this was a night mare.... the second run I packed all my stuff in a sequer and relocated it there.
TL;DR the relations gain on the storyline is marginal when relations vs time spent on mission is considered... That said a single pilot with good skills could solo it.
For those that want just instant gratification pvp, not having to go grind out nic to replace bots, will never 'graduate' out of the arena and into world PVP, because the loss to recovery time ratio will be too discouraging. Mixing no-death PVP arena's with a full FFA world PVP game... is there any examples of this? Has it been tried before?
WOW PVP servers look at how many people just sit in the safe citys and do battlegrounds....
Bet its the same in SWtoR PVP servers.
while I do like the idea I must -1 as it gives people a safe pvp outlet.
LOL one of my best memories of 62nd was when Nova got fed up with us and stopped logging in, we set up 4 vs 4 out side of Galoly with ourselves fighting to 1/4 armor then you were out. We did that for about 3 hours, was some of the best pvp I ever had. That was the night I learned that a zenith could shut down 2 ictus if you were on top of your game.
TL:DR Set up your own learning PVP to find your strengths and weaknesses before you go crashing head first in to a pvp loss, but this Idea isn't a learning curve its a free pass which is not needed.
Khader Khan wrote:solved. Problem is even if it stacked by color wrenchs(white, yellow and red) it still has to track the 45 Red damaged small armor reps individualy as they aren't the exact same % damaged.
You seem to have missed the essence of the idea as the 45% red damaged, wont exist anymore, anywhere!
That would ruin the already nerfed repair skill. I know people who after a farming session will sort threw each and every item and do a cost vs sell spread sheet. Seems OCD to me but this person has a fat wallet in game. They will get done farming repair X ammount for sale X ammount for futher production and Recycle the rest and then do a time vs mat calculation on the that. Seriously makes my head spin. Any way like I said I'm all for stacking as wrench colors. But deleting all the %s is a nerf as I'm sure @ the wrenchs from 49->24 will be 25% 74-->50 = 50% and 99-> 75% would be 75% I've never really seen a 100% healthy mod drop off a mob except a few like observers and Elites. Sorry it just seems like a nerf to me.
yeah I did see the below quote but really you think that it would happen that way? I doubt that, above would most likely be the course of action they would take.
This is what could be one for existing damaged modules:
25% health for damaged modules with an existing health of 1% to 25%
50% health for damaged modules with an existing health of 26% to 50%
75% health for damaged modules with an existing health of 51% to 99%

That way there will be a point to pvp other than getting on the killboard. The pve rewards are already there in the forms of rare items and your wallet_and_wall "size".
This thread is not about the killboard, gtfo.
I actually chuckled alittle...
BTT +1 to see who the indy power BEARS are
I already wrote that those material boxes cant be opened by anyone else than the mission contractor, of course recycling them shouldnt be possible neither.
Remains destroying them and keeping them even if mission timer runs out.
Possible solutions here: disable the destroy option for them or if per coding possible/easier (dunno) if anyone hits destroy or still has the box when the timer runs out, let it be "teleported back" into the missioncontainer.
This is where I have an issue..... Nothing in this game comes with out risk, That being said, I'm totaly against this magical teleport of transport goods back to mission start point. I'm also 100% against the hauler not being able to crack the seal and take your goodies. It is a very delicate ballance here, as with your system I could package all my goodies throw them in a hauler and not give 2 craps if it even makes it to its future home(NO RISK).
With that other game if you wanted your BattleShip brought to a new system you stripped it created the request made the collateral as high as the ships natural cost and payed them X ammount to bring it. Its not that hard to set up smaller orders so the newer players can haul stuff for you. I did that in EVE very effectivly create multiple small orders that any new player could afford the collateral and bump up the payment a tad and your stuff would be 100 jumps in a few hours no problem.
I think the overall Idea is great and has a place in a game like this however it is a very delicate ballance. To easy and every one will exploit it to hard and no one will use it.
Bottom line is Inda/Lemon have a good idea unfortunatly the player base that does support it can't convince their leadership to allow this "arena" to be built on their island. I purpose that we ask the devs to make Omega 2 just leave it blank on the inside and allow walls to be built. Have a Teleport in location that is buffed so you can see the "arena" the safe area and there in the safe area have 2 teleports in to the arena one on the south side and one on the north side. Once you teleport in same affects as a beta island. Just my 2Cents. Shouldn't be to much work to copy Omega 1 flatten out the ring road and allow walls to be planted clean out all of the things that are in it and give it some TPs in and out, then let lemon and inda do the work and every one else can enjoy it.
if it would be "easy" to implement, it probably would be already ingame. This suggestion is not very new at all.
During the past years of Perp, any stack of items with additional informations (status) caused issues.
This^
Nothing would be solved unless as Arga said you nerf the overall damaged mods. Once you do that then It would be solved. Problem is even if it stacked by color wrenchs(white, yellow and red) it still has to track the 45 Red damaged small armor reps individualy as they aren't the exact same % damaged. Don't get me wrong I'm all for it happening even if it doesn't speed up interactions as it cleans up my field can/hanger. Don't know how many times I've looked for something after farming and got frustrated about the ammount of crap i had to sift threw to find my shiney.

But what ever makes you sleep at night and justifys bringing this massive *** group of nexus supported bots with logistic supports not only makes me lol to myself but kind of makes me feel honored!
Yes complaining about it on the forums will make it all better....
Good luck with that one.
@ Binary, Seems to work for you all the time.
@ Ville, I feel ur pain man.
Jelan - yeah... and lemon (4 mechs) and supreme ghandi (1 mech) was such a big threat to you, that you had to bring:
4 Symbionts,
1 Trojar mk2
1 Castel mk2
1 Tyrannos
1 Tyrannos mk2
1 Ictus
3 vagabonds
2 Kain
1 Cameleon
2 Artemis
1 Artemis Mk2
1 Zenith Mk2
1 Intakt Mk2
a total of 20 Robots to fight off an Artemis MK2, Zenith MK2, Riveler and Zenith + 1 Tyrannos
I mean, that must have been a grand scale battle that you can be proud off, because you didnt lose a single robot to that overwhelming force of Lemon!
Im pretty sure this will go down into the history of project Perpettuum as the "Grand Archievement of Hokkoblob vs. Lemon".
(Edit: and don't forget - it was so grand, that a few hours later the outposts Stability fell again 5%)
Pretty colors anni!
But this is really becoming the main tactic of M2S and co. on Hokk... Engage enemy with a throw away or someone who can speed away after enemy flags then bring a force of 2-3 times the enemys size at them before flags drop.
Don't worry server 62nd and War fought odds like that for a long time now
BTW Lemon WB glad to see your ego didn't deflate. See you on the battle field soon^tm
EDIT
Jeez, guys, it was a random roam, after getting bored of camping 62nd in an outpost, not some cta that the horn of gondor was blown to get lemon...
See he even said he was bringing the above mentioned force to a corp with less that 10 RL people playing the game. 
keep fooling yourselves, M2S ment something when Siddy was around. Still find it hard to believe that a person like siddy who logged in for an intrusion (old school intrusion) and single handly swung the tide of that intrusion by sacraficing himself and forcing the enemy fleet to over extend in to bad terrain would so easily be swept aside and kicked from a corp that he was a founding member of.
I think we can agree that this system would be a LOT more fun if there was 600-700 players online in Perpetuum instead of 70-180.
I think it's a great patch, but unfortunately because of the microscopic population we are ending up with waiting for 1 hour where otherwise we'd be having fights more frequently. Sure, the SAP's could do a bit of tweaking, but then again every patch needs a bit of balance-tweaking before it hits the sweet spot.
Perpetuum is a lot better, more fluent and more involving because of Intrusion 2.0.
If you weren't blue and had NAPs/sap agreements with 60-140 of those active pvp'ers maybe you wouldn't be starving for pvp or maybe this patch would be as fun for you as it is for us. Oh wait your not starving? you just like to fight (blob) small non-conformist corps. Face it you need people like 62nd or the game would be boring to you. With out us there would be no you.
Now post something relevant to the topic.
Saps make them have a 30 min timer where you must defend after 30 mins of defending you can take the sap yourself for your corp..... This means your Alliance will still suffer the 1 hour wait if you have multi-Timezone alliances.
Passive sap is alittle to easy and should be 300 points to take
Active is about right as an ECM would ruin your day
Destructive tripple its current HP allow us to double that by repping it.
Speciman ..... This isn't a I2.0 friendly sap change it to Energy sap as stated or make it ammo dump point like it wants 5000 rounds of x ammo not the random crap it wants now make it something that normal PVP roamers might carry.

I count that as a push on my book, and you're complaining about having to defend "multiple" islands, which is the way it should be.
True Story: Having to post threads on the forums claiming your not failing, really means you are failing. Real winners can remain silent while their actions speak for themselves.
Glad to see this thread is not going to get closed! Oh wait.... BTT
Living on beta is now all about living on beta. No one can have cake and eat it too.
You hold what you can hold the rest of the areas will be Free for all which will make for more Pew this patch is a sucess imo.... Only thing im not sold on is scanning for times.
Or maybe just allow defends to capture? I mean the point of this is to prove who's dominant, both parties can scan it out and know when it's going to be... they are more often so it's less likely to be huge groups, but this would more closely resemble the old system. This waiting mechanic is anti-fun and does nothing productive. If i'm there when it goes live, you're just making me wait, if the enemy is there when it goes live with a force that can beat mine.. they will get it.
Make saps take 5-10 mins to take, and make it capturable by attackers or defenders. Defenders get no loot.
By doing this the point of living on beta MOOT!. I can log in run to beta attack my own sap and tp out and claim to live on beta, and still have time to go ninja 3 other islands. Domination is living in beta and defending your sap. The wait mechanic is not fun be glad its only 1 hour and not 2-3 I'm not really seeing how this is an issue if you only take what you can keep.
I don't need it to be a timed de-buff I just would like to know easier than scouring my combatlog. A blue ecm symbol over there targeting bracket for 2 seconds would be great.
