So nice of you to show up and spin things off in whatever manner you feel. We joked about reporting players on stream because they WERE breaking the new "guidelines" that Frontier so kindly laid out but I only know of one person that actually did. Personally I'm not inclined to do it as I see the guidelines as baseless murmur but that's a topic for a different thread isn't it?
Is this a promise that the Mobius private group(s) will be no longer be invaded in the future? Such an assurance would be applauded by many I would think. Well done :)
Where did you see that? All I see is that our streamed events will be happening in open and open only. What we do on our spare time can't be guaranteed ;)

Ian - You sure about that ? From the official post:
(emphasis mine)

noone will be reported for stream sniping Harry, noone will be reported for anything [snipe removed]. This is a new thing in SDC. There will be open only games/community goals announced more often. It is about OPEN, EMERGENT GAMEPLAY! Harry has little chance of survival on this one. He will be protected and it may result in fights or deaths. There is no back agenda

This argument about people being reported for stream sniping is one of the stupidest things I have seen on this forum, and that is saying something.
Do you think that even if they did report people for stream sniping after they publicly invited people to stream snipe them FDev are daft enough to do something about it?
Obviously not.
This is just a cheap shot because some members of this community don't like any kind of PvP and particularly SDC.
I can't help thinking that if it was a PvPer baiting the PvE community in the same kind of way it would be dealt with quickly.

Wow this thread moved quickly whilst I was at work.

We are talking about twitchs rules not FDev here, totally different and something posted on the Frontier forums may not count on Twitch's radar. It doesn't matter if SDC won't report you, a random viewer could and twitch can and may take action. It's a precaution for those with prominent streams since it is explicitly stated in twitch's rules.

People are welcome to stream their attempt at stopping Mr Potter but should be aware should they follow the SDC stream to find him they may have to then argue to get their account un-blocked etc. I don't presume to tell anyone they shouldn't stream it, just make them aware of the risks.

I hope FDev recognizes how creative game design and gameplay COULD be. If they only would understand that a lot of fun lies in the multiplayer part of the game. But they only focus on PvE.

Too bad, too sad!

Um what?

Wings, cqc, community goals, ship launched fighters, multicrew.

Looking at the 1.X and planned 2.X updates you may have your glasses on upside down..
 
All of which you could argue are more PvE oriented (except CqC).

Hmm, I could see that with community goals maybe but at current:

Wings is practically a requirement necessary for PvP and was something that was asked for by that specific area of the community. I guess it benefited both a lot.
CG's are now the hotbed of PvP, you see more there than anywhere else in the galaxy except organised events so I'd argue that one.
Ship Fighters and Multicrew - Ok we don't know the implementation but I can't imagine many people using multicrew in PvE unless there is a very large benefit or the difficulty is ramped up dramatically..
As you say CQC is PvP.

I guess a lot have crossover but the point I was trying to make is that PvP is drastically different now since 1.0 and has not really been ignored in any of the updates.
Sure there's a few balance issues and it'd be nice to mix up the meta but right now I can't see that much wrong with PvP assuming the C4 hardpoints changes things up again which will be fun :D Anyway, one thing I am sure of is that i'm off topic so I'm going to keep quiet as of now. Sorry folks!

I can see it now. CMDR "Harry Potter" in his Lakon T9 (and his inevitable entourage) makes it almost to the SOL system, leaving a wake of carnage 10LY wide and 500LY long, when, on his final jump, he (on his own) gets torn out of Witch Space, and he finds is surrounded by a large number of large Octagonal ships, and a multitudes of smaller hexagonal ones. Then his comms screen lights up with the message "Did you REALLY think you could defeat ME!". His sensor disk then displays a face; that of Lord Voldemort!

But

Wings - Both and was limited for PVP to 4 because we would have to much fun otherwise.
cqc, - BAHAHAHHA.... Wipes tear from eye.
community goals, - PVE Based to the moon and back. Mode switching for the win = Profit
ship launched fighters, - PVE LOL's only. "Right, I am in trouble in my Conda, Quick to the sidewinder!"
multicrew. - PVE family fun times. YAY LOOK I AM A RADAR TECHNICIAN! RP LOL's! CAPTAIN TO Engine room, we need more power. Swoon this is awesome.
Horizons - Oh look a barnacle... Darn Harry just blew me up.
walking around ship - Oh a book case, a chair, an airlock.. oh it doesn't open
walking around a station - HELLO.. ANYONE.... ANY... ONE... Oh an NPC. Is that an Arrow in your knee?

Bigger trade ships coming - Oh, I can make more in Solo! TRUMP MONEY

As someone who has been blown up in the past by Harry and the SDC, (completely unjustified as well ... although flying a A rated eagle round and round his cutter was a bit of mickey take [praise] ) all I can say is


Good on SDC for doing something that has a goal, and is in open and of the flavour "come and take us down if you think you're good enough"

And not aimed at newbies or those of us who potter about trying not to get blown up for no reason

Playing catch the golden T9 shaped snitch sounds like fun. Too bad SDC is involved (*Gasp* Oh no I didn't!).

Since all of these things are going to happen and you're obviously salty enough about them as to belittle and mock these features, dude I gotta ask: if you hate the game so much why stay and play?

Very disappointed by this SDC initiative. I mean, how good can it be if I like it?

edit: What in Dumbledore's name is stream-snipe?
edit2: Urban Dictionary already told me.
