Cold blooded murder

Call me thick, but I don't follow lol? Can you explain?

I was discussing the fact that this might apply to 'many'/'some'/'none' of the players who enjoy doing what you did.

I loved EvE... but didn't like the griefer's charter - all it needed was consensual PVP flags and it would have been awesome. I admit.. I prefer to play PVE, and I can do that with Elite Dangerous. I actually think that Elite: Dangerous could benefit from the economics/industry/crafting side of EvE, not so much duplicate it, but be inspired by it. I'd still be playing EvE today if there wasn't such a emphasis on mega-corps and alliances. I always preferred to be a lone-wolf.. not something that is really a tenable position in EvE. But it is a tenable position in Elite.

So just to for-fill the stereotype as one of the old gits - "we don't want this game to be like that... grrrr... go back to eve.. grrrr." <shakes fist fiercely at you>

:)


Haha! Same for me! I'm more of a lone wolf myself, although I miss corporations and such. I'm in Mobius and Ghost Squadron in Elite, though, and it's great.

The thing I miss the most, however, is how deep the Eve lore is. It's amazing. The thing is, Elite is just getting started, and it's light years ahead in the short time of its existence when Eve was the same age. I think Elite has more potential than Eve. I'll eventually go back to Eve for my fix, but Elite is just so much more approachable and immediate that it's hard to get into anything else. If we ever get to land on planets and walk around and such, I think that would bring a whole helluva lot more immersion to the game. That's something Eve is lacking, no matter what all the bittervets say.

No need for sorry , its open , its a game and you can fit weapons for a reason. Ppl should say sorry about not using weapons, shields and the like.

Now kill another player again ,keep posting how you feel about the second one , third and so on.
 
You're right there are no rules to gameplay.

Some people think it's morally wrong but who cares?

Fascinating.. there are no rules, so its OK to behave badly. Not so.. there are consequences, 'victims' will opt to leave open-play, leaving you without more victims to feast upon. It is self defeating spiral. "play nice and learn to share" or.... "kick down your little brothers sand castle". Video games are a great place to observe human behaviour!! EvE's slide in subscribers since 2013 has largely been due to CCP's inability to be able to create a gaming universe that doesn't consistently reward thuggish behaviour. Ultimately, taking out people who are no threat to you in Open Play, might.. longer term, undermine the game's ability to create revenue for Frontier, which in turn will mean the game will close. So again, your behaviour has consequences - it could... kill the game.

I find your sense of sarcasm, disturbing lol.

Speaking if Lord Vader, I love interdicting NPCs and saying "I have you now!". Sad I know lol
 
Also, just for clarification, why is it frowned upon to kill other players in smaller ships? Is it illegal?

I usually fly in group and don't really PvP, I was just curious. I'm an old Eve player and I thought this game was like that, where there are no rules. No? Is there some honor code or something?

For some there is an honor code, yes.
I never mindlessly attack innocent players myself, certainly not new ones in weak ships.
I just do not enjoy that kind of interaction with my fellow players.
If they attack me, then I destroy them if I can. I only had to do that twice.
But I play more solo lately, because I am a loner and I cannot compete with player wings.

Your (and mine) view of the goodness or badness of such actions are neither here nor there. You can do it in the game, it was designed thus. If you wanna do it do it, if not don't. And besides all that it's just a computer game so no need for knickers in twists.

FD are doing a better job at killing the game than some cheeky greiferers.

I guess there is degree of risk with this game though in that if you don't have enough to cover the costs of your ship being destroyed, all that progress is lost.

In Mt defence, he may have been in an inferior ship but he was of equal ranking (Competent)
 
Tnx , this shows gamers are not psychopaths , we sitting behind a computer playing video games , hardly a chronical disorder with violent social behaviour.

Great I'll let my Psychiatrist know.. he can take me off the meds now.. (takes one to know one :p ).

15.60 maximum. But I still only have the 8t fuel tank which isn't great and need regular stops for fuel, but it's extra incentive to stop at stations :).

I also have the E3 Life Support and a Standard Docking Computer :)

Adding fueltanks will not increase your jump range. It only increases the number of jumps you will be able to do.
Your jumprange is controlled by your FSD and is influenced by your ship's mass.
Adding a fuel tank (and filling it up) will increase your ship's mass and therefore decrease your jump range, while at the same time increasing the number of jumps you can do.

I'm sorry, but NO. This is a VIDEO GAME. These are not REAL PEOPLE. They are real people in VIDEO GAME spacecraft! You aren't KILLING a real person. You are PLAYING a VIDEO GAME.

Go back to Mobius if you want to troll this thread. This thread is about folks having fun in OPEN mode playing a VIDEO GAME shooting at VIDEO GAME spacecraft piloted by real people. There is NOTHING psychotic about wanting to kill a VIDEO GAME spacecraft in a VIDEO GAME that only causes a fantasy VIDEO GAME spacecraft death.

Sheesh.

I'm sick and damn tired of seeing folks call VIDEO GAME murderers psychopaths with a disorder. Get a life! It's a VIDEO GAME. A place where you can role play imaginary characters and do things you wouldn't otherwise do in the real world with only imaginary repercussions. The game is for FUN.

Have a normal day.

I know :) like I notice that my jump range increases (as long as I have enough fuel!!) when the fuel is lower
