I'm starting to think CODE is a science experiment designed to determine whether or not it's possible to get banned by FD. For science!
Code blockading Sothis
- Thread starter 777Driver
- Start date
Like you i was told same thing, i didn't even bother to acknowledge just flew straight on to Station
Bunch of lily livered wimps....Pirates Pah! seen more scary teddy bears than that lot!
BTW, i wondered why i never saw them on the way out, then i remembered after swapping tween open/solo to spawn missions, i went out in Solo DOH!

That's classy that is.
Enfin !
That is an intriguing story I want to hear about !
Can't rep you more than I already have.
+1 anyway !
While these blockade chaps and chapesses are patrolling the seas around Sothis in their gunboats, I'm happily tootling around in my submarine over 200ly away making much the same money but traveling far less distance.
So it's actually happened then? So many power-traders got fed up with the piracy/RP/griefing that they all switched to private groups? Now why would they do that...

It would be quite fun if it turns out that Frontier did this by design, to really figure out if Code is a group of griefers that only harm the game, or actual a group of player pirates...
To the GalNet!

Actually I think so many heard how bad Code is at seeing the "leave or die" threat through, folks are back in open just laughing at them.
This is the nerf to Sothis smuggling, apparently.

Well seeing as we are going to be there producing "Emergent Game play and storyline"
How about you guys decide how we interact with you? Seems only fair doesn't it.
You have two choices, Only Two.
1) We fly in as we are in underspec'd ships, have fun and throw a little role play around how the influx of smuggling to Sothis has reduced the normal trade routes and caused a down turn in viable pirating targets in our home systems.
2) We fly around in our normal ships, do the same and greatly reduce the chance of Elite players in their A Rated Uberships from just crawling back into SC and into port.
Will the blockade work and stop all Smuggling, absolutely not. Do we have any illusion that it will.. No.
Is it something we want to do because its a damn sight more interesting than ANYTHING else 1.4 gave us. ( Including CQC which is so easy it because boring VERY quickly ) YES, Yes it is!
You are welcome.

I don't think so, there are just a lot more places traders can go to. It's just that rare trading isn't that interesting anymore with all the smuggling missions available all over the bubble. I guess that's the reason why The CODE is trying to make Sothis a no-go-area. If CMDRs start to learn how to smuggle "low value" goods in fast ships the pirates get a problem.
I understand why The CODE is against this, but I think their blockade is completely futile. Sothis is just a system among a lot of systems. Nobody has to go there to make a lot of credits. The only CMDRs they will be able to drive away or kill are unexperienced CMDRs who just do the flavor of the month activity.
OK, after being mostly on topic, could we please jump directly to the usual PR disaster. I like that part in The CODE threads it's highly entertaining. And I'm still missing some references to "lions" and other animal related metaphors of virility and power.
Sounds to be a great opportunity to create wings with known friends and to create new alliances to fight those pesky "pirates" !
Nah thats griefing.
better keep on hauling the same old trade route!
Then when you've flown back and changed ships, I choose 1
EDIT: I'm sure when you flown back and changed ships again, Ziggy will insist on choosing two, meaning you'll have to fly back and change ships again ...
That's the idea isn't it, Ziggy?

Are they really? not very effective considering I have been in and out several times and not seen a single one. Oh yes, that would be because I play in a private group where we can avoid such chevos. Code and their like are only effective and/or relevant if you let them be.
I thought you needed dice to do roll play.
Pirate police, nice.
Fooling no-one.
Fooling no-one.
Really? Your 'role play' is that you, a criminal, want other criminals to stop being criminals, so there are more non-criminals to rob? I vote for option #3 btw: don't care either way. You seriously think anyone cares if you bring your mighty A-ship? I might go to Sothis just to point and laugh at you guys, or I could just move to one of the many, many other systems who offer these missions.
