Yah, it was mostly the same in Jumpgate but the bounties were ridiculously low. Who is gonna hunt down a pirate for 15k creds when the insurance on your ship is a 1mil c? Often, if you saw a new pilot out carving on an asteroid, you helped him out and told him to find a safer sector. New pilots are the lifeblood of the game; farm them and eventually the number of players dwindle enough to irrevocably damage the game.
And don't get me wrong, I wanna get in on the PvP, just when I want to though. I'm a full fan of carebear sectors where you have to be flagged to be shot down. This lets casual players do their asteroid farming and resource gathering at their own pace and leisure, and more importantly, lets the game get their revenue from these people.
I really wanna play this fucker... But i'm done being burned by Early Access shit, especially for $75. I'll be keeping an eye on it though, I know another guy who will buy into it as soon as it gets up.
