Given that spaceport security and armistice zones are meant to protect against griefing, would it be possible for a REALLY skilled or coordinated team of players to circumvent that security for nefarious purposes? Like say a handful of players roleplaying as violent extremists wants to stage a terrorist attack on Terra.asked by WLB

That is an interesting question. I would say that there will be places that it will be almost impossible to do anything in, and then there will be places where there is security and armistice zones that if you're very determined and shut down security systems and do everything else, you could potentially cause some mayhem. And we'll gradually build that in such a way so that, like... probably doing a terrorist attack on Terra is gonna be out of the question but there may be some space stations and stuff that are kind of in between where maybe the security isn't as close to the power of the UEE, although it does have security and law enforcement. But a determined group of pirates could for a very short period of time cause some mayhem there. And it'll sort of be... we'll have a few of those, we'll have some safe places and then we'll have some completely unsafe places, and probably the risk-reward of all those places will be factored in.So you can probably make the most money in the unsafest areas, but of course there's a higher risk. In the safe areas you don't make as much money say trading or doing stuff but it's pretty safe and you're not likely to be attacked and if you are attacked there's a lot of backup and help that would show up. But we will make it so that for instance perhaps there could be a heist in a really, like... something like the Terra system for a cargo ship full of gold bullion or something, but that heist would have to be incredibly well planned. Think of it like the "Heat" heist, at the beginning of the film "Heat" with DeNiro and Pacino - where you would have to take down all the security systems, and do all this, and coordinate, and do it all at once, and you would have a window of a very small amount of time before you get away with the loot. Those kind of heists would be much more NPC AI driven in terms of what you're heisting. So maybe that shipment is something that's getting shipped from the Bank of Terra to somewhere else and someone else gets wind of it, and it's a criminal mission and then of course it could also be players and other AI that are also performing security. So that would be really hard to do but if you managed to do it the payoff would be really big. And of course you obviously have the risk of being a wanted person and all the rest of the stuff. We'll sort of build those aspects in. So we're going to have areas that we'll let that kind of gameplay work and, like I said, potentially there can be some less safe space stations. But there will definitely be some places that aren't just going to let you go in and destabilize. So like Terra or Earth - those kinds of one's will be pretty safe havens, and even when you go down onto them, to pass through the customs or immigration you'll have to cash in or pass in your weapons that you have. You can't take any weapons with you and they'll scan you going through and I think if you look at the ArcCorp you'll see the scanner setup and everything.So you have to land on the outside and pass through Customs and it's all sort of secure. And there'll be some places that don't have that I definitely think Nyx (or really Levski) will be less secure in the long run and that would have more "law on the ground" so to speak. So if you went in there and everyone took a gun and they started shooting, then maybe the local Police guys would come after you. But that's sort of the things we'll play with. So there'll definitely be places that will be safe and there'll be places that won't be safe. And that'll be kind of up to you and what sort of challenge you're interested in.
