So, after reading different member posts as well as shouts, I think there may be some confusion about the PVP aspect of this game. Read the following article http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/0...ive-reasons-star-citizen-isnt-a-dedicated-pv/ for a better understanding of what to and not to expect in regards to PVP battles. What I'm getting out of it is something on the scale of say WoW, instanced PVP aka battlegrounds, some open world/universe PVP but nothing even remotely matching EVE's PVP scale. Now, I'm not saying anything is good or bad about this, just don't want folks getting there hopes up over something RSI has no intention of delivering.
