PVP - a note from the Developers

[Kuloth]

Ascent will never have forced PVP. Currently the game has no PVP, and it is one of the least frequently asked for features, which receives very little support from the playerbase when it's raised as a possibility.

When we do eventually get around to adding PVP, it will be added in the special "Red Zone" area of the galactic map only, and there will never be a reason for PVE only players who aren't interested in PVP to go there.

In my view, other games do PVP really well, and there was no reason to try and emulate them. Ascent implements a whole lot of OTHER stuff that nobody else does, and that's kind of the point.

Yes, Like it!

Without PvP we also don't have to worry so much about hackers and cheaters.
We also have a better and more civil forum and chats.
Insted of competing we can cooperate and build a better universe :D

I have also seen that in space exploration trade games like this if you have forced PvP then you will have a group of players that are pure PvP dedicated and they do nothing but PvP.
They dedicate 100% of their game time to get bigger gunz. This would have been ok but 90% don't use those guns on other PvP players but only to grief and wreak havoc on easy target just because...

Dedicated PvP areas could be fun and a nice break from the rest of the game when you are waiting for a blueprint or construct to be ready.

PVP virtually wrecked my eve online game and destroyed some of the original intent of the game

cud just add it, but let folks choose to turn it on. like a safe mode switch, thats what gta 5 did. increases player count

i know some folks will like to dog fight anywhere thats y. i actually prefer the safe travel. finding the planets, thats legit.

theres been no real updates for ages, crashes are fairly common, dev atm is semi inactive, but if u can get the game to run its still highly developed and playable

I play as Moneyman. I know the regular players and not these Steam avatars.

The real deal is the 'Ascent Black Sky' thread in AscentExtras forum .. not this Steam puffery.

Frankly, until the current dev sells the game, nothing (except players) of consequence happens.

Its a real shame, since properly designed, this game would be very popular and profitable.

no mans sky seems to be filling the gap anyway.
