Captain Jack Shadow 488 Posted December 28, 2018 The concept is simple. Every ship needs a safe harbor. Without something like a freeport, with AI security and fleet, where you can leave your ship while off line, this game will not survive. Oh, and no decay while there. A game is not advanced by the ability of people being able to destroy your stuff while you are off line. This was the huge failing of ARK. Raiding somebody was simply a process. So long as you did the right steps, which everybody learns from the Streamers, you will succeed in your raid. Ships are just going to be too juicy of a target. AI manning cannons aren't going to be anymore effective than those useless turrets in ARK. How many videos did you need to see that turrets only slowed you down...and never stopped you, unless you were dumb? Will the AI turn your ship for a broadside? Are swivel cannons supposed to be the new turret? The reality is that large cannon don't swivel. How is that going to protect your ship when it's not even pointing in the right direction?

MindOfMadness 98 Posted December 28, 2018 It appears the devs expect PvE'rs to half ass PvP without any actual way to defend themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
