Every new water world and earth like I come across I dump a canister of biowaste onto the planet. I am the evil explorer. Decades from now it will have mutated into something vile. Interesting fact, evil, live, veil, and vile are all anagrams.

Anagrams of what?

Hi everyone. My name is Guidebot and I'm an evil cmdr.

I was out in my Diamondback Scout in a HIRES when I saw a player Vulture on the scanner. Before I knew what I was doing I was tailing him and stealing his kills at the last second. Then he lost shields in a fight with a clipper, so I rammed his Vulture pretty hard. He charged supercruise and left... but I followed him. And interdicted him. Twice. And destroyed him.

I don't know why I do these things but from time to time I just murder people.

Does anyone else randomly perform inexplicable acts of evil?

I used to, but I went to see a psychiatrist and he set me straight. I suggest you do the same.

It's the day when Drunks of Sol all get absolutely blootered beyond even their usual liver-divorcing levels, and all gang up looking for more beer to drink, and give some evil anonymous guildies a good stomping. Or pass out. Who knows?

If I was right last month, that means you were wrong too :)

And I'm sure I'm right about that because of elements.

We could start a People who are wrong anonymous.

It's a little concerning how often I keep seeing these "confession" threads about highly overpowered Commanders shooting up tons of noobies and gleefully wreaking havoc on people who will very likely have to start over from the Sidewinder again. I have been playing Solo because of these numerous threads. I want to play in open, because I'd like to interact with other commanders, including pirates who might stop me and request I drop my cargo. But the guys who are just flying around in Pythons and Anacondas griefing people in Eagles and Sidewinders shooting them on sight without provocation makes me really just stick to solo. I do not play Elite to spend hours and hours trading to grind credits up to levels where I am no longer concerned about insurance costs. I want to try different things like smuggling. Sadly, this means I am hardly ever able to afford insurance buyback. This, in combination with these multitudes of threads makes it seem like my choices lately are go online and get ganked without warning 2 or 3 times in my DBS by some bored in an Anaconda and lose all my progress. Or I can play solo and fight NPCs that I actually stand a chance against...

The last time I was in Open Play I was bounty hunting, but was killed several times and forced a restart by a single unwanted bountiless Commander in an Anaconda who kept following me. I don't play Elite Dangerous to be a space trucker, but there's really no other way to cover the insurance costs due to the multitudes of psycho mass murders out there. I hate to be the guy who resorts to solo, but hopefully you can see why I make that choice, and why any lingering thoughts of returning to open are quickly obliterated by these types of posts. I really have no chance in Open Play unless I grind so many damn credits I can afford 2 Anaconda buybacks.

What's worse, is there are many others like me who have also resorted to solo play, but then participate in PowerPlay which pretty much ruins that game mechanic and experience. When I stick to solo I at least don't use PP. But then again, Psychopath is a profession that is open to everyone, and the whole concept of Elite Dangerous was to be able to forge your own path...so where do we draw the line, and how? Am I ruining everyone else's experience by not playing online, or are they ruining mine? This is where the controversy lies, but you have to see why some people make the choices the make and are forced into Solo mode. However, indiscriminately shooting up people much much weaker than you several times, stealing their kills, and stalking them is purely griefing, and should not be anything anyone should consider making a thread over and "bragging about". I guess congrats to the OP for making another Solo player. That was his intended goal, right?

And this is the current problem in Open play.....there are an inordinate number of psychotic pilots because there simply is absolutely not one meaningful drawback to being one. It wouldn't be as bad if they were psychotic to everyone players and NPC's alike, but they are not. The piddly bounty for this type of play is a complete joke......

You would see a massive decline in this type of play if there were some drastic meaningful consequences for playing the role of a loony. Such as maybe a complete revocation of insurance privileges, docking rights and frequent harassment by bounty hunters and authority vessels with escalating danger the longer you hang around systems that they do this in.

There is one drastic, meaningful consequence to their behavior. It's seeing open become the wasteland it is. The early prediction that; open would only be populated by the PK'ers is, largely coming true. There are constant complaints of the lack of players in open. Add that to the ongoing efforts to get FD to coerce players back into open.

One possibility is, if they are playing a deranged psycho...

Is this a victim which I see before me,
The UDP toward my hand? Come, let me gank thee.
I pwn thee not, and yet I pew-pew thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? Or art thou but
A UDP of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed router?

I can't give you any more rep, Asp Explorer! Oh woe is me, to have seen what I have seen, read what I see, and be unable to rep upon thee.

Hi, I'm an evil commander who prevents poor marginalized and generally hated pirates from continuing to live and/or pirate. Those poor pirates, what have they ever done to deserve being attacked for the bounty on their heads. Its so hard being so evil to so many by helping the authorities and being against those who are against not killing people who don't have bounties on their head. OH.....wait....I'm in the wrong room, I wanted the good guys and bounty hunters anonymous meeting the next door over. Well, see you later Dr. Robotnik
