Dan should make both player vs player kills and non player enemy kills both count in the combat reputation. i would be balanced instead of laughable....

so you want a carnival duck shoot to count as a battle so that you can have a better reputation?

this is really laughable!

-1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!

PvP's not much tougher if a player's offline. Admittedly human players bite back and NPC or other non-PvP disables don't count.

Any one who's seriously NPCing will have to do PvP to get DM cannons. The top of the line ones have great attack for their size. Get all 4 and you'll no longer be laughable rep.

Combat rep doesn't really bother me. It's main use is a psychological defence. Not many folks want to attack an Insane Epic Legend.

start pvp when youre a low level. i know it seems intimidating, but its not. you just have to outfit your ship correctly. right now i only have about 1000 player kills. but with npcs, i have over 11000 kills. so that would be a total of 12000 kills to my 100 deaths. dosnt seem really fair, especially since disables from NPCs dont count towards your player deaths... i'm gonna say no to this. just get out there and look for ships weaker than yours. if you cant find any, then copy the strongest ship you find. THEN go after weaker people.

Alot of people are afraid of pvp but I don't see why it's a fun game and this game has so little drama related to the pvp. You hit someone get a badge, they MIGHT hit you back, they get a badge... if YOU drop it then they drop it and thats that. In most cases the people hitting you are going to be higher rank so you won't want to hit them, and you will be hitting people lower than you so they won't want to hit you. If you spend more energy on pvp you will get more disables then disabled and your rep will rise. Keep in mind though that the rewards for doing missions effect your energy while rewards for doing pvp effect your combat ability, spend your energy wisely.

Big -1 to this.

NPCs are 10x easier than players and give better rewards. I PvP alot, and it is ALOT harder than NPCs. I could kill 2 NPCs to each player, and I know most people could manage more than that as PvP takes more energy as you go up in ranks but NPC gets easier. (With the exception of flamehawks and dark warpers.)

The two things are totally different difficulties.

On a different note: Your laughable for a reason. Check your ship log, the RNG was nice enough to put you on my battletab. Try and kill me without using artifacts, considering your 26 ranks ahead. Your ship is like a cannon made of glass with sponge bullets.

wow, bit mean. but im 55 and i could take him (almost)

+1 just because some people care about and flash their "PvP reputation".

@OP. PvP smartly. Gather nulls->max your actions (kill a lot of people)-> get disabled-> lay low 24 hours-> halc and calm amplif on -> win. Rinse&Repeat at your heart content. Don't think for a second that PvP requires skill or something equivalent.

Uuhh....

i will resist saying anything rude or insulting.

Please don't. Let's talk about how skill based PvP is. Let's.
