You can go neg rep easily as a beginner by taking on unfeasible mission...

now the real question is : who will voluntarily target a squad he KNOW contain a beginner ?

That's what the BH are for. :)

Why not make SS a PVP free zone for everyone? Why do us bad rep players have to get the short end of the stick?


Never noticed that BH do any harm. Had to deal with them a few time (thanks to "you know that I mean you", hehe) - always been their fault to attack me! Also, BHs are constantly scouted by a lot of squads, cos they give better loot. BHs are just another gang, imo.

Well, short end of the stick? Guess its cos most players are rather PvE than PvP and everybody is free to choose their own way of actions. And pirates never had an easy live... *looks over the blood stenched dunes with the smoldering pirate car wrecks*

BH were tough before they could be hunted. they would outnumber you 2 to 1 with texans (which BTW where are they?!?) desert tanks, punishers and other heavily armed vehicles.

SS should be PvP free so new players dont get killed by other players right of the bat.

maybe a combination of fame and neg rep makes a player huntable in ss? you can get neg rep fast but fame takes time.

My take on this - make SS PvP free. a) it is supposed to be a learning town and "more safe." b) gives incentive for someone to travel to another town for that kind of action.

The down side is that new players won't be able to even *try* PvP without going to another town... That's not necessarily a good thing either, but worth considering.

But sandbox PvP wont help them practice either as the kind of PvP they will encounter in another town will be better equiped and crewed cars with dedicated Player Hunting configuration.

Nothing prepare to PvP...

players that have a very low neg rep and high fame could fall under the huntable. SS is supposed to be the new players town. if we make it pvp free someone can hunt traders with no one to stop them except weak BH UNLESS sam creates a super attack on a player that hunts pirates after many warnings from the mayor of somerset. the gang that does it only attacks when a player has -1000 rep and 200 fame and hunts traders.

we need a PvP free zone. SS makes the most sense

I agree with a PvP free zone around SS. It would make sense for pirates and fair traders alike. There are always dangerous trade routes as well as places where it is in both the 'bad' and 'good' guys best interest to move about freely/trade.

but... Sam has been trying to get people to get out of SS...lol

now it would be a safe pirate haven ? hmm... doenst make much sense.

remember if you pvp others you will have a negative rep. Now you just go to SS for awhile and nothing anyone can do to you if we make it totally pvp free. So no, my vote is no on total pvp free zone, makes no sense and is exploitable by pvpers that way.

maybe if there was a way to make a seperate distinction between a pirate that only hunts traders or a pvp pirate.

What we need is certainly pirates acting like traders in the Firelight area.
I mean pirates with trucks. Afterall, aren't they bringing there loot back home?

Good point. I've been thinking about that. Together with something like this, I'd like to see pirates do what we often do when we fight: avoid completely destroying most opposing vehicles, even to the point of taking risks by letting players cars remain semi-functional, in order to increase their gains.

Of course, there are probably pirate gangs out there who don't give a mangled badger's ass about loot, but for those who do, something like this would both increase realism, and add tactical options.

(Now that I think about it, perhaps this functionality is present in the game to some extent. During my last runs before my long hiatus, and now, upon my return, I've noticed pirates switching targets when one of my cars reach near-inhabitable levels.)

yeah Ayjona,

Sam has made incredible work on the AI lately. They really choose their targets much better. You will see them leave off on cars that are about dead or no threat. They will also go after "soft" targets a lot now like a lorry and peds. Pretty viscious they can be, and much smarter.

Sorry Jack but your comments don’t make much sense to me either.

Sam has been trying to get everyone that is not a newbie out of SS, not just pirate players so your reasoning does not make much sense to vote no just because people have different play styles.


Again you’re not thinking this through, you can have a high rep and PVP plenty of people and still be protected in SS due to your positive rep. I on the other hand may never PVP players but with my negative rep I’m always vulnerable to being attacked in SS. From what I see those with a high rep and PVP you are the ones that can exploit the most.

if yer gunna make low reps huntably in ss then i think if any player has any type of bounty on them they should also be pvp huntable in ss despite there rep.
