You sir have my support, I really dig your ideas. But I have a little input.
Security:
In EVE, you have high sec, low sec and null. I'd like to see some kind of system such as this, where the sec status determines ground CONCORD forces [in high sec planets] reactivity to unlawful actions within major city borders, as well as anywhere where CONCORD forces might be stationed [using your example, a well known mineral deposit might be somewhat defended] and possibly their strength [i.e. equipment, force skill etc]. People rampaging and ganking throughout a major city isn't exactly the best, and bad for business. |

Lol, I considered that too, but it removes any possibility of fighting these wicked NPC's that are "unkillable" as in EVE, which as we all know are fun to fight if you can take the damage they dish out.
But I have to admit, although a quick and dirty way to ensure people follow the law, something like that might work better for the time being, as coding a good NPC force on top of everything that needs to be done would just add extra stress to the team. But instead of orbitals in major cities [which could be exploited by dozens of people all at once to cause major lag/crashes], why not gun-cameras on almost every corner that snipe you for absurd amounts of damage? An orbital just seems way too messy to use around the general populace/costly buildings; however, it makes perfect sense when you're outside of city borders and such.
In terms of High Sec vs. Low Sec, I figured that High Sec Planets [HSP] would be the only ones being protected by CONCORD since they have such a big presence there in EVE; the major cities there would be larger, cleaner, more civilized and business friendly, and the pub won't be full of outlaws, but rather normal citizens and the like. The smaller cities would be more like 'tourist spots', where you go to stock up, chat with others and what-have-you. So basically, using the gun turret example, these things would be everywhere. There'd be hardly anywhere you could go to do any dirty deeds you might have in mind.
Low Sec Planets [LSP] would be more 'Wild West' like, where the major cities are somewhat smaller and sketchier; border LSP's [ones one jump from High-Sec, mostly 0.4] major cities could have a small force of CONCORD to try to help keep things safe within, but ultimately there'll be crime there regardless of what they do, especially as you go further out into the world, where there's no CONCORD establishment. Again, referencing the example, instead of the turrets being everywhere, instead they'll be sparsely placed, so if you're smart about it you can avoid CONCORD and do what you want [kill, sell drugs, whatever]. |
