Over the last few days i have been mostly playing in RR, and from this time i have discovered that it is currently hard to find [elites] due to the fact that 95% of RR is owned by some faction. Yes i relize that 3 of the 4 systems are mainly owned by k'luth, and i don't really like that too much even tho i am a k'luth. What I'm proposing to make RR better for getting enhancements, (which is mainly what its used for) is that either some random planets can not be captured by any faction, or that the entire, or most of the center system is perminatly pirate owned.
I think that I've seen a topic like this before but i personally think that something needs to be changed.
Pls post ur point of view and comments on the matter.

I dont think this belongs in Fan Fiction...
That said, RR needs to be changed.. Since it is primarily a PvE server, yet kluth seem to enjoy trannyrushing all the planets so you have to bomb and cap before u can really do much.. Maybe one protected sy planet for each faction, and the rest pirate-controlled.. Since RR is really only for farming the ai for enhancements anyways..

One thing overlooked about RR is that it is a capped server. If a player under that rank wants to go into RR and cap planets, even all but the last ones, it is perfectly legitimate. You are perfectly welcome to go and recap them. He has a right to gain pres. His goals and yours are simply not the same. Of course I know that is not always the case, but it does happen.
Truces will crop up from time to time, but there is nothing wrong with that same player farming you while you farm.
Another thing is the way K'luth caps there. You can get good bombers, its not like the best anyone can get is a transport to cap with. The only time I have actually seen somebody tranny a planet, they were razing the noob built structures off of it.
Furthermore, if RR was meant to be done the way you seem to think it should work, each faction would get a cluster apiece at most, and the rest of the planets, read that EVERY OTHER PLANET would be uncappable.
Of course, all this is a moot point soon, when the so-called Elites are done away with, and you are forced to do real combat for the best enhancements. RR may remain, in some altered state, but the farming of Elites WILL be going by-by at some point.

could some planets be made so that after x time of being capt they are returned to pirate ownership, that way players can be rewarded pres for capping planets and 3/4 of a system wouldn't be owned by the same faction? or could each faction only be able to cap a certain amount of planets and then after that any planets capped would also be reverted back to pirates?

Well, I do not have inside information myself, BUT,
If I were to take a guess, I'd say it would be sooner rather than later. We have some devs actively working the game. Faustus has been doing updates. Progress is being made at what in Palestar time is considered light speed. I think that alot of the things we have complained most about will be getting worked on and fixed as fast as they can be over the next few weeks.
We know that staff is increasing the drops (or HAS increased) drop rates of higher level and "rare" enhancements from players who die in dreads and cruisers. At some point the Elites will have no purpose, so they will be done away with. It's just logical. I am GUESSING when they are satisfied with the drop rates in the MV the whole Elite mess will be thrown in the round file.
So the question would become What to do with RR server.
And there we can only speculate, because the MV maps are being shrinked and altered, and we don't know what will come out the other end of that.
Will we even HAVE a PvE server? I personally hope so, but that's my opinion. It seems that the majority of older players would like to see PvP only, while the newer players see no problems with PvE. It's all perspective.

i guess i wouldnt mind that if players droped enhancements, however i think it would really suck if there wasnt a PvE server anymore

It's odd that it's it's own server, and it's odd that it's PvE. It's really a brand new concept in Darkspace, and obviously it fails since it splits the playerbase and encourages PvE over PvP.
Procyon is still a PvE server. It's just not a server to farm enhancements in (well you can try! Good luck though)
