When the sirius corporation got kicked out of the controlling faction, it didn't stop you from taking missions with them, anymore than when the controlling faction changed in my home system. This is an action by a group of players to deny economic avenues to other players. As Quiquag said: this is being done solely to annoy other players.
To all you player groups UA bombing places like Robigo and Sothis...

^ Mr Moderator makes sense.
If you don't take care of the background simulation, you yourself risk causing issues for other players. Has anyone seen just how wildly the influence in these 2 systems has been fluctuating? Still at least Edmond has failed to get a grip on the system despite 3 attempts in 6 weeks lol
It's a living breathing galaxy with ats including myself and others in it. It makes it more dynamic and immersive as it is ever changing and prevents it from stagnating. Every action has a consequence, whether that be positive or negative.
Well naturally...
My only gripe about UA bombing is that it's kinda easy. I'm not arguing against it, but I think that it should be more risky that simply getting some module damage. With the amount of UA bombing that has occurred over the last few months, I'd imagine there would be some sort of "UA detector" invented/installed in system stations. Thus giving a small (say, 10%/UA onboard) detection chance once you enter the station. You get detected and the station open fires.
I don't think UA bombing is griefing though. No more than Piracy is griefing. Inconvenient? Yes indeed.

Whether you're involved in this or not, do you like the game? Congrats. You/whoever is participating in this has made the game LESS FUN for other people. This contributes to people leaving. If you want Frontier to keep creating new content for the game/the game to even keep existing...making the game LESS fun for others isn't going to accomplish that.
So whether you're helping UA bomb, or you're just a troll, congrats.

The same people crying about Sothis are quick to point out that there are 20+ other systems that can be used to make obscene amounts of credits the exact same way. So if this means of making credits is integral to your gameplay, you're not being kept from continuing to do so at all.
It's not a single player game. The quicker you get over not playing one, the less whining you'll be driven to do. manipulating the BGS is how the game works. You're not above it when it's good for you, just as you're not above it when it's bad for you.

Just as " it didn't stop you from taking missions with them, anymore than when the controlling faction changed in my home system" Sothis and Ruby and Cleo or whatever they are called, being closed does not stop you from any of the numerous other economic avenues available in game.
Use your skills and knowledge you have learnt on how the BGS plays and find those other opportunities.
As surely you are not just relying on S R & C because everyone else did, right?

Well don't even get module damage I'd assume if you get the corrosive resistant cargo racks from Palin.
It's not easy. It's incredibly dull lol

Hell yeah. What else do you think they're used for lol
First off - IT'S NOT GREIFING and FD shouldn't REMOVE IT.
Would putting the system in lockdown be an exploit - NO - so Neither is this.
You know what is an exploit though - stacking missions by game logging to Open, Solo, Private - in order to get the missions you WANT - that SURE IS AN EXPLOIT.
So booo frickin hoo - your exploit got a wrench thrown in. So you want it back?! You want to continue your game greifing by making money quick/easy at Sothis and Robigo - then DEFEND THE SYSTEM by supporting with Meta-Alloys. How about you actually work for it?
If you don't defend it and it gets shut down, well that's your problem. Quit crying about your exploit getting legitimetly shut down by some players.
GOOD FOR YOU UA BOMBERS!!!! Shutting down what FD is afraid to do - and I don't blame them, look at these crybabies!!!!
[smile] [up]There's a group of people probably having a lot of fun shutting stations down. The people trying to undermine their efforts and bring it back or making it less fun for them. Oh wait, trolling and being a moron is only when its an action that doesn't increase your definition of fun in the game. OK. I think you're playing the wrong game. You dont want a shared multi-player game.
i prefer players using ingametools to get things done instead of opening another "nerf sothis/ceos"-thread, but that's just me.
and i'm seriously hurt about sirius corporation loosing tgat systems.
but if people start smuggling slaves, i'm not surprised people even more evil showing up and selling UAs on the black market...
I dunno if this is supposed to refer to me or not, but I have yet to kill another player, period. I certainly wouldn't grief sidewinder commanders in a corvette.
No! I don't! I play games to get AWAY from people for the most part. I was one of the people angry when elite announced it was yanking it's offline version (full disclosure, I am not a kick starter backer.) And I do that because people DO THIS: mess with other people's fun because it brings joy to their pathetic lives.

Sirius are the factions with highest influence in Ceos right now and Sothis is looking like anyone's game due to them all being fairly close
