This is Great, really. Its thinked good. What about mining machines for high level miners?

[[Updated] Player-made Safe Zones]

I think DU is not FULL PVP game. PVP is only one of many supported play styles.

 

"Safe Zones will protect you, and avoid Dual Universe to become a free for all PvP game. However, PvP will be possible when you step out of the Safe Zone. "

 

It is not said that starting zone is the only Safe Zone. Also size and amount of safe zones is open.

Of course, you can try to play DU like a peaceful survivor. But sometimes you need to go out from non player builded safe zones for mining, trading or other things. When you move out, you have a risk to be a PVP target without your agreement, so this is a full PVP. 

[[Updated] Player-made Safe Zones]

nonPVP timers is really bad idea in FULL PVP world.

 

1. So many peoples can play a game, more then 1-2 houres, on weekend only. And when a timer go on 48 houres... Hello NQ guys, we paying for full game content... 

 

2. If 10 (100, 1000, 1kkkkk)  players wants to kill 1 player, they kill him 100%, and its a correctly balance in FULL PVP game. Don't won't to die -  "run Forest run..." 

 

3. What about pirat players? Defenders has time to move out all staff and to deconstruct all expensive buildings and machines. Where is a profit?

 

Power stations ---> power cells (accumulators, condensators)---> shields, turrets, battle ships, trups, def npcs. 

For small groups - underground base or freespace.
