But what's this about the engagement protocols? What does it mean if they're enabled? Are we allowed to fight or aren't we? This either means it's nice and quiet, like a normal district, or... free-for-all! SMILEY


Engagement protocals are enabled thus you can attack anyone... Can't go indoors though.. access restricted...

I guess the Datamining *10 yield is to offset the risk involved... AoE attacks will hurt mission team...

More importantly, FRIENDLY engagement protocol enabled.

Methinks this is a FFA construct.

Now I'm excited.

It mentions both hostile and friendly protocols, so it doesn't seem to be a case of PvP or nothing.

Its awesome but the pvp just made it a big let down for me.

That's just it: the fact that they're enabled has ambiguous consequences. When were we told what the engagement protocols meant? As far as I'm concerned the protocols being 'engaged' could mean they're actively stopping us from fighting. If the engagement protocols are dropped, we're free to fight. I don't know.

Remember that time on Syntax (may have been on other servers) when everyone could attack everyone else, regardless of Org... that was due to engagement protocals being enabled for enemies and friendlies... The protocal for engagement has been enabled, allowing you to attack. If it were the other way round I believe it'd say something like Passive Protocals Engaged. (If I am mistaken I will be wearing a very red face for a while! SMILEY)

Not something I'd hoped for but I guess hoping for an extra district with NPC's and HL's and Mission contacts would have been a far greater undertaking...

I really hope this isn't a FFA construct. I dislike FFA. SMILEY

This construct looks sweet. Thanks to Rarebit and team for putting this together and testing it. I had never been expecting anything new in terms of areas for the Matrix, and this opens up many possibilities for the game. SMILEY

Significantly we know that new areas are possible Vinia... so perhaps sometimes in the future we can hope for new districts.

Although i am disspointed this isnt a new district as such im happy we have a new toy to play with and i for one will be playing alot...

pvp would be good, even ffa, but that means no teams right?

Would be a lot more funner if this is a single construct accessible by all servers....

Oh you can have teams but be wary of AoE attacks and there is no way to prevent you or your teammate from turning on you...
