If you in a viper a pirate is not going to take you on! i only go after cargo ships.
Pirating, PvP and Greifers
- Thread starter CMDR Cheknov
- Start date
Pretty much what I thought. Doesn't make much business sense to go after vipers, although it does make me feel safe in anarchy systems
Ya your def safe, but dont plan on making to much money trading in a viper lool
I wonder how many threads almost exactly like this one (or close enough not matter) have been made in the past 6 months. Always the same discussion always the same talking points and meaningless phrases, always circular arguments. Round and round and round we go! Again.
Good Job OP!
No, not really.

-1 rep because that is really sad and because your also making the list of complainers lol
Actually, to be honest, I'm quite surprised the mods let them go on as long as they do. Maybe because it is new people so the arguments are new to them.
O no not the negative rep! Anything but negative rep!
As usual you make a good point Joe. I take back half of the things I said about the OP.

And again ive been viewing thease posts for a while now befor i played the game myself so i never had a comment cause i didnt know ans now i do know and now i can make a legit comment instead of speaking out my A**,
Hey Father Christmas says it's ok to pirate in Elite because it's only a game and ashamedly he is partial to a bit off piracy himself
FD have tried to hold back griefing by removing clean ship deaths from your tally and increasing bounties against those that do it. There was also mention of discreetly flagging griefer type players that consistently kill clean players into their own class of instance where they are more likely to meet others like them along with bounty hunters. Whether the latter was implemented yet I don't know. But apparently the game does track certain types of unwanted PvP behaviour.
There are places where PvP is allowed, I'm sure everyone has noticed that without a scanner everyone in Anarchy space comes up clean. Conflict zones are another place where you choose sides and can play PvP, though until you choose a side NPC's will not fire at you.
If all pirates played the role closer to what FD intended and the OP posted. I expect more people would play open. Not all PvP is griefing. Unfortunately the game doesn't help much, in it's current state the coms are flakey and forming any dialog with another player can be quite difficult. Hopefully things will improve early next year after the holidays and the devs get time to do more than just fix bugs.

Hehe. You're not kidding, but anticipating playing this for years so my credit/hour performance is irrelevant
although investigating USS spawns is reasonably lucrative (by my very low standards). Will probably move up to cobra eventually but my playtime demands I have enough in the bank to pay for several respawns.Basically, no rush. Point being if you can afford to die several times then you're not terribly upset by it. Last death was a result of my own incompetence when I hit the boost button at the wrong moment. Being killed by another player wouldn't be nearly as embarrassing
Indeed, on the one hand you have people that want to enjoy the game the way it was designed to be played, on the other you have a bunch of people not happy to get involved and even though every precaution has been added to prevent then having to get involved they still moan about the others that do want to get involved. they then make up names to bash them down with.
Round and round...
Threads for the thread god.

all pvp that is not consentual is griefing and FD does not condone grifeing.
