the station bandit last night

[CMDR Noctivagus]

im not one to really complain,, but this was beyond a joke in my eyes

3 (that I know of) users were guarding the station , and also following you in , I was the one ducking as you all came through the door way,, next thing I know they are blowing the crap out of me ,,

also was hit on the out side going in ,,

now I know you call it testing (B*******ks)

consider the user your shooting up
I have just spent 3 weeks in hospital with my wife in intensive care ,, almost lost her once,, bleed on the brain,, twice

I finally came home , and was trying to catch up on testing , required by FD ...

but every time I tried you guys showed .....

sorry for the rotten post ,, but its like this sort of thing is really getting out of control,,,,

 

[Arkronis]

Had they even scanned you (at least!?)

 

[CMDR Noctivagus]

Nope straight in for the kill.....

I normally dont care about this sort of thing but i had 1 hour ,before i had to go back...
And FD. Requested a test done .so i tryed to oblige.

As im not sure as and when i can get back on ,, after being shot down at the same station i just gave up sorry FD team i tryed

People are bored and making their own entertainment. I really would suggest its worth taking this stuff with a pinch of salt and not letting it get to you.

Everything is likely to be reset very soon anyway.

 

[Yaffle]

That behaviour sucks. At least they get to have some meaning in otherwise empty lives.

I hope your wife recovers soon.

 

[Stoo]

Sorry to hear about the wife fella, hope she's on he mend.

As for the pillocks who think "testing" and "griefing" are the same thing... well, it's about time they grew up and "tested" with an organised group of willing players and left the others alone.

 

[CMDR Noctivagus]

Normally. The case with me . But as FD are trying to bring my bug list down for alpha 4
And requested so testes . I thought just enough time .
Its just not the right thing to do some users may have taken this long to build up to buy a cobra .. yes im one of them ... at present time is very very tight as im staying there as well .. then opening the yard up everyday. Working, rush home to change ,back at hospital.. for the night , since multi player started i have ignored and switched off...

But this time it hit hard . And with FD fighting to keep thier dates , this is very un. Sportsman ....

Im just having a rant its been a long 3 weeks thats all

I will be happy to be blown up by these commanders later tonight, early tomorrow in FFA.
I see no advantage to testing (essentially) non-existent station sector defenses.
What is the point? Unfair advantage shooting someone from behind in close quarters? Testing cowardice? /boggle :S

Today after exiting hyperspace at the station I was attacked by other PC on Cobra equipped with 2 beam lasers and 2 multi-cannons. I have returned fire after 1/2 of my shields were down, took down enemy's shields and some hull integrity after which we our ships collided destroying enemy ship while I had 33% hull integrity remaining.

I actually like what han solo was doing .. the 1st endless war battles was great fun..

The station hijack would of been good if they followed the same public notice as they did with the battles ... i would of been quite happy to be blasted for testing

But hehoo. Crap happens

 

[CMDR Texas Stu]

And sorry to hear as well. I hope her recovery will be swift and complete.

 

[Rog]

Best wishes to your wife, really hope she's making a recovery.

 

[ubermick]

Fingers crossed for your wife, mate. Hope it all works out - and disappointed for the crap experience last night.

It was exactly the same thing as what happened to you last night
If you name and shame people can get revenge for you

Hopefully Frontier will note this sort of behaviour and implement some sort of game mechanic to make it have serious consequences, otherwise I can see a large proportion of users avoiding MP - which would be a shame.

Fingers crossed your other half makes a swift recovery.

Isn't that going to be "bounty" and "selective grouping/ignoring"?

...and the space station opening a can of whoop-ass on you

 

[Theodrid]

So, I see HanSolo and his gang are still 'testing' the exact same things, well done to them, obviously the exact same mechanics need testing over and over and it isn;t griefing at all.

Get well soon

Hey,
I'm sorry to hear about the OP's wife. Hope she get's well soon and things all turn out alright.

In terms of fighting around Zelada, is that not testing too? What about testing Zelada's defences, wanted status, police ship capability and response, response of other humans etc etc? I can confirm the current response is very weak and of no deterrent, so therefore quite the opposite.

Sure, it's pretty annoying, but that's kind of the fun when you are dishing it out! I apologise profusely here, in real life, but in space, it's dog eat dog and good fun!

From reading the string, it sounds like some have a ED Moral Code that I don't think I have been made aware of when signing up. Very gentlemanly, but not everyone will have this so ED needs mechanisms to manage it.

Good luck out there!

Agreed - and the current deterrent, I am (almost) ashamed to confirm, is non existent/ very poor!
