I should just say this, for those who are going off to fight: While your dedication is appreciated, please realize these guys are player killers. They are doing this because they want to PVP, and they probably expect a fight, most likely an easy one as they are using net-optimized pvp builds. They probably expect to win too. If your motivation isn't to do PVP, or you are acting out of rage or whatever, you will lose. You're fighting on their terms and that gives them an advantage. Don't do this unless you actually really want to do it. Otherwise you're just feeding them and giving them what they want. Explorers can always play in private groups or solo. We're not really being exploited here.

For what it's worth, it could be quite a fun/exciting PVP. A big battle around a major space station. As long as nobody's hacking or cheating, and the sides are even, it could prove to be quite fun.

Every minute they fight another player is time for another explorer to dock. We don't need to kill them, just frustrate their efforts to kill.

This!

This is one of the most populated threads, about one of the most interesting stories going on right now. If we can't muster enough people to at least make some of them see some insurance screens and instead run to solo then I think that's when the griefers win.. And I say this as a pirate when not exploring

What you will effectively do is create an uncoordinated CQC around Obsidian. Again, that's fine if you want to have a big, potentially expensive PVP battle there. But the explorers can always go solo or private. Of course, if you want to RP protecting the scientists, that's fine.
 
Whoa, I've been following this thread for days and I look away to watch some TV and now there's a blockade? Can someone give a quick run down of the situation in Open? What happened? I went back to Sietae to re-outfit to take a break from my searching so I'm ready to come back armed if needs be.
 
it will take a while to get there, but, FOR SCIENCE


yes.

My plan is to dock there in solo, leave and return in open to fight and die with honor.. But not change anything most likely because of what you mention

+1 do this. this is my plan as well.




Lol.. thats an old friend of mine.


In my opinion.. don't run and hide in solo or private groups. Enjoy the added danger. I certainly will.

+1 don't let them push us around, we are a very large part of the community, let's show them that.

SDC is blockading the port. Pushing people out if they get in and shooting on sight. Some of us are lumbering out for honorable, but futile, combat..

I might not be much for science-ing but I shoot stuff good

The enemies of knowledge are an intolerable obstacle to the long term success of the Empire. Justice may be the Emperor's Shield, but Science is her Sword.

If we can turn this into an opportunity for us to enjoy the game, then we've won in the end. Griefers only win when they spoil the experience for others.

Assemble the troops, fight with honor, and defend SCIENCE!

Also it wouldn't hurt to have something of a coordinated attack plan, you know - strategy. Don't just rush in and die.

What is SDC? Either way if anyone is willing to organize a wing of forces I'm game. I'm itching for a fight after all this aimless searching. Can't bring my Conda but perhaps my ASP or something else more expendable, as nearby systems permit and supply.

a mere 35 jumps away... Haha
 
There are so many people going to that station, i'm sure 15 Asp's could stop take a break for 2 days and fit rail guns and stack hull reinforcements to break the blockade.

Only issue is with the Robrigo money exploit, they probably have hundreds of millions of dollars, so dieing in an Anaconda doesn't really matter.
 
i was there in my anaconda. couldn't get into their instance. my instance was with a few other cmdrs and it was all quiet. except for this one npc in a vulture that said something about cargo (i had none) and started attacking me. he was just tickling my shields so i ignored him.

I am headed out in my FDL as is at least one other. The plan is to dock at Obsidian in solo and then leave and return in open and DEFEND SCIENCE

being that I am in the FDL you likely have time to design and build a ship, cook dinner, and the blockaide might be over before I arrive
 
On a more science related note, I've asked Survey Contributors to start noting the location of game crashes to the survey results. We have a theory that the game crashes may be related to a bug in the barnacle LOD. If we can have multiple cmdr's game crash at the same coordinates, it verifies that something at that location is causing crashes. If not, then we can at least check the coordinates out and see what the crashed cmdr might have missed, if anything.
 
OK, I'm pretty new to all this planetary stuff - has anyone seen this before.

I'm following a signal on the SRV scanner, one of the 'tall' ones with activity at both the top and bottom of the scanner, the angle is narrowing like I'm getting closer, the signal getting stronger, and then suddenly, nothing. If I back up a bit, I can see it again, but as soon as I reach a certain point, it's gone.

Wierd thing is, if I drive past the point where it vanishes and do a 180, I still can't see it, but if I drive back over it again and do another 180, there it is. It's like it only appears from 1 side.

It's really strange. I'm fairly high up a mountain, so I'm wondering if it's somehow underneath me...

This is on Maia A2A

in my head it's more about the narrative of explorers/scientists turned combatants fighting back then it is actually impacting a band of griefers financially.

Plus us if we get thirsty I have found plenty of tea factories in the nebula
