Distinction between PVE and PVP Battles

[mikawa]

PVE battles are restricted to group members, so I think it would be very helpful to make a visual difference between PVE and PVP battles.

 

At this moment you spot a battle sign within reach but you don't know whether it's a PVE or PVP mission so it could happen that you sail towards the sign, just to find out you cannot join the battle, because it is PVE.

 

I think PVP battles should have e.g. red swords and PVE silver swords. This simple mechanic would prevent players from sailing to battles they aren't allowed to join anyway.

sure of that? I think only  MISSIONS are restricted, not PVE in general, if you attack an IA fleet anyone can enter

I'm not quite sure. It recently occured to me, that I sailed towards a crossed sword sign, got far away the message that "combat is too far", inside the circle that "combat is too close" and on the edge of the circle no message at all and no "join..." too. So I thought that this must be a "mission" or kind of "restricted battle". Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that either these missions should not be signed at all or get another colour so that I could clearly see what battles I might be able to enter or not.

Yesterday it happened again. I sailed towards a battle sign but could not join it. I strongly recommend to distinct the battle signs which a player cannot join anyway from these he can join. Make them complete uninvisible, or give them another color, that's my opinion.
