How big are jump points? Because I'm hoping that they are large enough to allow lots of trade and not much camping.asked by Spider Hack
TL;DRJump point exits will have no single fixed position, to discourage camping, but exact balance between control and safety is still to be tested; they intend to favor fun over making it too safe.
Well, I think it sort of depends on the jump point. It also depends on where you're going to be in terms of space. In terms of the sort of camping on the jump points, we're going to try our best to sort of avoid the ability for people to necessarily camp out and just destroy people. So there isn't one standard exit position where you come out of a jump point, and you'll sort of get spit out in a general area near the space anomaly. So you probably won't have the same ability of being able to camp on a spot as you would have done, say, in another game that has one specific exit point. And we're pretty conscious of that. I mean, yeah, we want this to be fun. But that will all be part of when we get in and when you guys start playing in the universe and we're testing it all together, we're going to balance that level of fun. So there needs to be some level of constriction where you could control people coming into a system, but not to the point where you jump in and you get blasted before you can even...
Right, spawn camping or something.
Yeah, before you can even power up your shields or whatever. So that's still to be balanced, but we're going to err on the side of making it fun without making it too safe.
