Dead game is dead. CCP says buy a computer and play legion...

why do round based battles still exist in this game as the main game modes? what hapened to the open sandbox districes numbering in the thousands or tens of thousands? why dont security levels matter in dust, it woud go a long way to fix the npe if we had the districts open to anyone and eveyone up to a certain number aloud actually on the districts. the districts could be kinda like individual rooms that spawn pve drones and take time to clear them out and cleared districts coud have about a week long cooldown timer before drones begin to show up again alowing resource production to resume for the corporations that hold them.

In high security space districts are owned by npc corporations so clearing an infested district for them could net a small bounty per drone remved and a small standing boost with the corisponding corporation, friendly fire would be disabled or severly punished resulting in standing lossand possible expulsion from the districts owned by the corisponding corporations where friendly fire has taken place. the risks here would be low and it would be a safe haven for new players to learn the jist of the game pvp would not be occurring in high security space districts

In low security space districts could work almost exactly the same way except with more risk of pvp and little to no consequence , drone bounties could be higher and odds of salvage could also be higher.

In null sec would be a completly lawless zone where the players make up the laws as they go just lime in eve, im sure you ccp guys can come up with more .

if we could just get a sandbox based high security areas first you would see an exlosion in new player retention, the round based battles were ok for beta testing equipment suits and weapons but it dosnt do justice to the true scope of this game, round based battles should only exist in new eden as a wager battle system where participants wager isk on their team and friends and the winners take all even non participants should be aloud to bet on the winner and possibly make iskif they picked the right team.
