View Full Version : Ground PvP??
Ground PvP I have not seen or herd much about this at all an would like to ask every one what would you like to see in Ground PvP.
I would like to see some in star base fighting in the neutral zone that is. where you are in the base an fighting off the other side or your trying to take it over. This could be one way the the zone map could change. what do you all think an your free to add your own ideas to this.

From what I understand only 5 people were going to be "beaming down"(that includes friends with you) so I don't think there would be ground PvP

They have stated that there will be both space and ground PvP.
I'm hoping to see the opportunity to be able to participate in both small and larger scale PvP encounters on the ground. I imagine there'll be a lot of 5v5 instanced (well mostly all ground content is instanced anyway) encounters, but hopefully they'll put in some 10 v 10 or 20 vs 20.

I really don't recall the ground PvP, I heard both ground and space PvE but never on a pvp standpoint, I'm not going to ask you to dig up a source, but do you remember where about you heard that, like NYCC, Ask Cryptic, etc? Or is there anyone else here that remembers this?

that is 5 people to a group not every one groups in pvp most of the time people do but about 80% of the time I do not.

It is mentioned in Ask Cryptic 3 (September 17th).
---EDIT---
Oops... thanks for the correction Dext :)

thanks for posting this info. but what would you all like to see in Ground PvP???? an it is the 3rd ask Cryptic :). just so you know.
I would like it to not be pointless. I would like for there to be something to fight over besides kills.
On developed worlds I would like to see multiple locations which can be claimed as a part of the overall land campaign; a few areas of wilderness, a space port, a town, a military outpost, a weapons factory, etc etc.
Most of all, I want Star Trek Battlefront :p

Thanks, that was so long ago I forgot. Reading back over it I remember reading it, although this brings into the argument on the "Games are always changing, so is it still a planed feature".
On that note heres the ask crytpic entry
Space PvP has already been confirmed for the outer most regions and neutral zones, but what about planets in those sectors? Will there be ground PvP?
Where you can PvP in space, you will be able to PvP on the ground. There will be open PvP ground locations, and perhaps instanced PvP locations.
Sounds pretty definitive, would like a little bit more info on it then.

Having something like this would be nice where you need to take points an when you get all of them the planit is yours an it would change the Factional lines in the NZ.

I think i remember a Klingon shooting a phaser in the trailer and i seem to recall that mentioned in a video interview about PvP ground combat but I think a good add on to this would be the possibility not just fight in space to space or ground to ground but space to ground as well I dont recall anything said about being able to fire on planets from your ship to attack ground troops and in retaliation if you were on the ground you could call your fleet for help

If they could get the right balance so it works right it could be fun.

Of course cryptic would have to put a limit on the time spent on the planet b/c the people on the ground would prob. just stay down on the ground and move around so it would be hard for the ships to hit them so maybe they could have a science officer hail them and mention a storm or something and that they need to beam up now
For a lot that we say here we will have to see if it is in the game or some more info is given to us about ground PvP but We can maybe give them some good ideas that they can look at to see if they can work them into the game at some point. Maybe not on day one but latter.

I would imagine that it would be possible to beam over to an enemy ship once you knock down their shields and attack the bridge crew. Perhaps this won't happen at launch but it only makes sense they'll add it in eventually.

You could have instanced ground 5vs5 pvp, TDM or cap flag
Don't forget about the Official PvP thread folks.

Hi all,
Ahhh..search worked, here it is. And now I'll dredge this baby back to the top of the forum.
I guess to first ask if anyone has seen any substantial updates to the ground PvP question? My impression is they'd like it in game, but details are lacking. That being said...
I'd love to see some form of instanced ground PvP, perhaps in a station or on a planet in the PvP zone. More interesting would be an area of space where claiming it would be a combined initial space assault to get to the planet, and then a followup ground assault to claim the flag, or dilithium, or whatnot. The issue being how you could have both space combat and ground combat with only one set of avatars (ship or surface) and only limited PvP engagements (5 on 5, last I heard?). An open PvP area where larger numbers could interact could lead to better potential for multistep scenarios, i.e. assault ships with top notch melee crews escorted and protected by ships with the best tactical space crews, battling it out on both levels with the opposing faction for the prize!
That being said, some well developed non-combat PvP (diplomatic missions, resource missions, etc) on the ground would be nifty as well (pictures Kirk and Spock and the Klingons in Trouble with Tribbles)....
