Should have just combat logged.

I always wonder why the moderators dont sort out some of the obvious troll comments on some of these threads..

I really fail to see a troll, but maybe because my sight is very very poor. Maybe if you point to me one those troll comments.......
EDIT: ofc i am not a moderator but i am really curious.

I've always been against the idea of combat logging. It feels a bit of a cheap win.

So I lost an interdiction battle for the first time ever the other day to some schmuck pirate. No matter.
I try and talk to the guy. Ask what he wants. Nothing on me anyway aside from some supplies which are worthless.
No reply other than lasers to the face. Yay another griefer.

I'm not kitted out for a fight this time so I have no choice other than to run. But somehow this oter clipper is faster than mine even with 4 pips to Engines and repeated boosting. He's able to stay right on my tail and non stop firing. Which is obv nonsense anyway.

So I die.
And yes I'm peeved.
And yes I'm going to stick to Solo for doing Power Play since its a lot easier to do what you want there to screw over the idiots who seem to love KoS like its some sort of ePeen.

That said...
I'll be back for that guy with my vulture when i'm done. Nobody cheap shots my ass without payback. Fancy clipper? Fancy spacedust soon...

Can I help you? I hate these cowards

You have super secret methods for tracking individual commanders in game, but you don't know to high wake out of system when in this situation?

The cowards that attack Clippers whilst flying Clippers? I don't think you know the meaning of the word 'coward'.

Try posts #4 and #10, just pointless and malevolent..

In my humble opinion not really pointless, and clearly not malevolent. But this is my opinion i cannot force this on you.

If you're Wanted, I'll shoot without warning.

If you're Hostile I'll shoot without warning.

If a mission requires me to kill civiian ships and you happen to be in the target area I'll shoot without warning.



If I want to get a reputation as a ruthless killer with the associated bounty on me, I'll shoot without warning.

All of the above are in the spirit of the game.

Totally agree with this and I get tired of players thinking this is so called 'griefing'. If you're taking down an enemy, there's no time for niceties or to send a message. Shoot first, collect bounty. The amount of times I get abused by players who don't understand why I'm shooting at them is ridiculous.

I am inclined to agree. NPC's do all these things after all - it's part of the game.
The word griefer should be kept for the times it is really needed and applicable.

Opinions are respected more often than not, but they appear not to have fully read the OP, instead just shot some angry rhetoric at him. Happens too often in these forums but thats life and moderators

The part in which he intends to take a Vulture in order to 'hunt' a Clipper, leaves me expecting another rage post from him, in case he manages to find the player in question.

The galaxy is getting more dangerous (as it should be!) with PP and SJA upgrading her minions which is why my pure trade spec, unshielded type 7 is getting replaced with a shielded, armoured python as soon as I get back from this exploration trip which is going to pay for it!

 

[Smiffoo]

Usually powerplay motived killers leave a message before murdering you.
I myself just paste this whenever killing an imperial (Cause slavery is no-no) :
"/l You are targeted for termination for crimes against humanity, have a nice day!"

i hope to see you in battle some day

Everyone has the ability to scan the other ship to see what modules it has. And everyone has the ability to type something. Opening fire without any kind of warning is kind of cowardly if you ask me

 

[Privata]

I understand your pain but that was not a greifer , as he was not going with the one goal of hurting your feeling IRL

You forget that he is participating in PP. He is marked as hostile for every other powers cmdr. I would not chitchat with a clearly hostile person.
Like others above already mentioned. It was a fair fight and he lost. That's about it.
It feels like many here are abusing terms like griefing etc like many femis abuse their "arguments".

This is nonsense. The time it takes to type a message to another commander is time they have to evade and jump away. It's entirely legitimate and not at all 'cowardly' to attempt to bring down a ship's shields and disable its drive before entering business negotiations. Now, it seems that probably was never the intention of the aggressor in this instance, but none the less you make a massive assumption in declaring anybody who fires first and talks later a 'griefer' or 'coward'.

People's concepts of 'e-honour' are endlessly amusing.

Just came back from an hour long walk in the park... aaaand this thread is still running.

He was just saying how he is a tad angry that someone killed him, but he understands it's a part of the game and is happy to take revenge soon™
Chill out people!

 

[Traven Mayhem]

murdering another player by interdiction and killing them is not griefing, it is indended design. the NPC's do it constantly.

i hope to see you in battle some day

I look forward to it!
