Calling all pirates, share your opening pirate spiel with us!

No. I use those exact tactics when faced with a superior
enemy to keep them away from the high value targets.

Killing you is not important, achieving the objective is.

Note the name of my Cobra.

I would do way more damage than you would be achieving your objective, maybe if I bring a friend or 6.
Then your wing can interdict one, which then high wakes out. While we kill everything that moves, just to make a point.

If you could destroy my ship and send me to a rebuy a few times, I might decide to change systems.

But you know you cant, which is why you are now saying making me high wake is a win. A minute ago you would talking about ship destruction.

Emergent game play ftw

Oh you fly a Cobra, I don't even need to worry then.

Bravado much?

P.S. With the current state of the game, (the ease at which a HW can be done) it is measured as a win. Can you really need the 'Pop', to win?

It's ok Majinvash, I know this is
a difficult idea for you: people play differently than you do. I did not bring up ship destruction, you did. I pointed out that if you can't stop me from jumping out, which does not necessarily mean killing me, it was your problem. That you can't see past killing works in my favor.

I deny you the pleasure of a kill, or the thrill of being shot at. Either way, I win.

BTW, you can ask Crimson Cane what he thinks of it. He got bored and left after 30 min of us chain interdicting him.

Funny how being chain interdictioned never shows up on their You Tube videos... you think they weren't proud of it!

Masslock mechanics.

His Cobra cannot mass lock my FDL, let alone the Python I usually pirate in or maybe my new Corvette.

So I would lol at the interdiction and then low wake back into SC, as his tiny weapons ping off my OP shields.

But yes, I am also amazing.

In my opinion the High/Low wake mechanic isn't the issue. The submission to interdiction is. There is no real incentive to play the interdiction game. While it's quite a fun, and at time intensive game when you see you blips disappearing slowly and are hanging on to the last one. I thought FD introducing that it's harder to interdict smaller ships was a good move as well, so mismatches would be avoided.

Traders should be hard to interdict. The one doing the interdicting has to be at a disadvantage from the get go. But, once the interdiction is successful, then the tables are turned, and the interdictor should have the upper hand. This would give the traders a fighting chance, and give the pirates a reward once they got their interdiction.

Mass Disruption mechanics do not apply to High Waking.

Why would I shoot you? I already won by interdicting you and stopping you from doing whatever it was you were doing.

Shooting you is irrelevant.

BTw, we can take down the shields of a FDL, OP or not, (hey! Someone call for an FDL shield nerf! He admits it is OP!) by the very fact you can only point your nose in one direction at a time.

Can't shoot all 4 ships, and you can't shoot any ship if it is out of range by the time you are pointed at it.

He highwaked out, never to return, btw.

*yawn* whow, a bunch of guys locked in a battle of egos... Never ceases to amaze.

Why don't you get a room to compare testosterone levels in private?

You would be a mere annoyance, plus I would come with friends if there was an active wing. You see i'm a very smart and capable pirate.
I know all the game mechanics and exploits.

So you could do your little chain interdiction dance and we could pirate the system, like we always do.

What would make me leave would be after the 20th trader had high waked or combat logged zzzz

I think I have more friends to bring to the party than you do, enough to break the instance. I can field 9 wings quite easily.

You claim High Waking as a win for yourself, then bemoan when it is used against you. You reveal yourself as you type.

I believe you just stepped into the room.

Can I get you anything?

Sound like an exploit to me.

So you would break an instance to stop other players getting in?

Is that the sort of player you are?

Shocking!

He can't even pay fair in Forum-PvP. The other cODER guy is way better.

I will use any exploit in the game until it is patched out.

You know I play the game as a criminal right? Would you not expect this?

My moral compass is so so broken.

Doesn't stop me wanting it removed.

edit* Also my approach to the game would be VASTLY different if this exploit wasn't around.

Chappys defence wing would actually be something to consider when pirating.

Just to turn your little game back on you..... You admitted that you Exploit. Exploiters should be banned because they are bad. There. I'm glad that's over.

You can do one simple thing:
Choose to not use high-wake,
inspire others to follow your example,
and have better gameplay by doing so.

Using "exploits" intended or not, that result in
dissatisfying gameplay is very much meta.
Evading and going to low wake, return to hiding and ambushing however
is tactics.
