So, if you want to do pvp in the 50-99 bracket either on your alt or on your main account, join the astroflux discord https://discord.gg/r6RuxCA and ping me, @Abyss#6025. Currently 50-99 almost never happens, so a rgoup of people including me are trying to organize pvp matches to happen. :D
used to be lvl 3, but then one troll would make alts and impersonate people, and he would get the alts to lvl 3, which took just like 5 minutes or less
so they made it be level 10
and also, what vorsran balancing xDD
the vorsran system is meant to be endgame, so it's meant to be hard. and it is hard, but once you get high level and get good arts, with the right ship, you can do vorsran easily.
it takes around a couple days to get to level 100 if you know what you're doing, and ask for help
a little longer if you know what you're doing but don't get help, maybe a couple weeks.
and if you don't try to grind xp, you won't level up very fast, but just doing dailies will get you a level a day basically, up until around lvl 80 or so
