How long have you lasted without dying?
- Thread starter Red Rascal
- Start date
No deaths until tonight, then you get two of them?Just started playing at launch.
No deaths whatsoever till tonight. My trusty freagle and have been trundling through the galaxy with no issues. Then I enter a random Anarchy system and get interdicted by an Adder. With railguns and a missile launcher.
Well then. Respawn with the freagle and immediately jump to another random system. "Oh hey there's a cobra--"
Interdicted. Missile drops me to 15% hull instantly. Kaboom.
Never til the other nite when two Cmdr's were wolf packing me, took them 4 interdicts to finally drop me, But sorry lad's went down with the rare cargo, cost me stuff all and less than 100K to get my Cobra back... Chump change for my death (Finally had some use for some of my credits). But was fun being constantly hunted, I love open gameplay (I do also play some group in Mobius), Fear of danger from other players is fun 
Look forward to more fun in open, and hope many more might actually give it a go, it is fun and at times heart racing fun!!!

since Gamma 2 release... so... 18 days?
been in an adder since then... I have too many reasons to keep living now. I HAVE to find out what this thing's limits are....
Bought and sold a Cobra already, intending to warehouse the Adder for a stretch... NOPE... sold the Cobra promptly and went straight back to my sweet "Blue Blur". She runs Cold, quiet, and is quick on her feet when the "blades" come out. (edit: she is worth, a pretty, ~1,600,000CR on trade-in value.)
I'm gonna see if I can make the hull last another 3-4 weeks without replacement. Overhaul, yes, but I do not intend on letting this boat go down with me at the helm. Ever.

Wow, that would have been amazing surviving the canopy break like that! But yeah that sucks dying by crashing into another ship, especially when you're not even in a dogfight.

Once in beta 1 and once recently. The first one because I couldn't dock yet. I was a n00b
Just 1 insurance request.
Ha! One of my fears is that I'm going to die while looking for something in my navigation chart...
I only die because of my own stupidity boosting/crashing into things, not warping out from a fight when I should. Game is pretty easy at the moment.
Haven't died since the Betas. Seem to recall that one was a CMDR who took advantage of my target fixation on a NPC at the Eranin Federal Distress scenario. His viper made mighty short work of my cobra.
What's your CMDR name?
I think it's the same issue behind asking for a star type filter in galaxy map. Players beg to have the most benefit with the least risk, even though if it happened that way, they'd complain about the game being too easy and boring.
I think it is related to min/maxing in an rpg, in a way.
Anything to increase credit per minute ratio I think.
This is one of the reasons why I love this game so much. For us new folk, the galaxy is a dangerous, violent, angry place. Don't believe me? I dare you to go to Hip 19147. Don't worry, it has repair and refueling stations.
It is kind of upsetting. I don't mind it when folks focus on raising Cr/min, but come on, think about how it will affect the entertainment value. Yeah, it'd be nice to be able to get an Anaconda within the first day of playing, but if that's what your goal is, you end up having only a few hours of gameplay, and in the end it won't feel like you got your money's worth.
Q.Q etc.
