    Is anyone running a server that meets these requirements?

    Active admins.
    Regular events.
    100% PvE/non-violent competition (HV races, for example).

    Thanks. :)

    Sorry B., I have no suggestion. But I would also be interested in something like that! Possibly with a bit more challenging PVE and POI Raids?!

    Yeah, I've been toying with the idea. The newest revamps to the abandoned mine and factory show you CAN create interesting/challenging PoI's, and the new config file allows someone to make the various alien weapons an actual threat.

    It'd take a lot of effort, and I certainly would be hard-pressed to open it up to the general public. :D

    Hey @Slipstream

    Active admins and regular events (as good as possible) can be found on HWS.
    100% PvE however not really. We made once a test for ~ 6 month and rented a dedicated machine for 100% PvE. We had max. 10 players on it... not really worth since 100% PvE is basically Singleplayer or COOP.

    But we have of course also PvE planets, no wipe, POIs, resources and we are running our own HWS Config with tons of changes and whole new additions to the game. So far it's awesome.

    If you are interested a bit:



    Good luck in finding your right server and have a good new year.

    If there's anyone out there running a solid, well-admin'd server it's YOU. :D

    So, here's the question: Do you have a dedicated admin, or admin team, who run events for ONLY the PvE/COOP players?

    And a corollary question: How do you handle 'new' players arriving in PvP? They're just targets, unless they start with a massive resource boost, and can build protection right away.

    Thanks!

    Oh, thank you very much! Appreciate the recognition :)

    Events like for example Space Races, Jetpack Checkpoint Races, Capture the Flag / Base are running by ingame admins / me and sometimes by a certain game master player. He gets an Event planet, gets teleported there, get some special permission and builds his event up for others under my observation (more or less). At the end we go through it, link it with a Stargate for example and players can join the event.
    Anyone can bring in his idea, PvE or PvP but properly flagged as these.

    That is a bigger topic, hehe. But to take a little shortcut:
    I tried to solve a lot of problems with the Universe layout. If you look at it you will find the lower part PvE with already good living conditions and the more north you go, the more PvP you get. High Risk / High Reward. Thus we have weekend / week PvPvE rotational planets where you can time your visit during PvE and get also rare resources.

    But then you have also our Story / Features which help you to not get stomped right away such as the Stealth feature to fully hide your ships, a lot of custom PDA missions for bringing a Singleplayer Campaign Mission feeling into Multiplayer and the HWS Garage to buy Alien Technology® ships for any purpose, to mention a few.

    Thanks for your interest.
