I'm hoping Frontier stops teasing us and put their attention on more important developments of the game such as life on planets like no man's sky.

I mean, they can do both. The artists and programmers who work on new features are not the same people who create story-based mysteries and puzzles like this.
That stuff just takes YEARS to make well because Elite plans to do it on a scale larger than even NMS.

I think police responses could be a bit better but honestly, for better or for worse, that is the game the ED is. It's not that they don't care, it's that this is the nature of 'Open'. You have to want to be involved in this. It's exciting and exhilarating for some of us. I tend to just fly cheap, small ships in open.

Not wishing to take the subject off topic, but no and no...

"that is the game the ED is" - Crime and Punishment is just not working at the moment.... Make it work... It'll still be ED!

"You have to want to be involved in this" - That's just it isn't it. Because C&P is a joke, and because the game does basically nothing to offer/orchestrate "real" PvP, we get gankers at any event such as this enjoying blowing up anyone/everyone they can, especially those not even intent on PvP.


It's a mess! Crime & Punishment needs sorting out to deter this mindless griefing/ganking. Piracy needs some TLC. The game needs to finally offering constructive PvP mechanics, missions, tasks, mechanics...


Anyway, enough off-topic... (But witness if more of these "event" take place how each and everyone one is mostly "damaged" so people cannot enjoy them in OPEN, due to mechanics that have been failing the game for 12-18 months now).

ps: Typing this having enjoyed a few conversation in Cail with folks in OPEN, before having to retreat into SOLO to play the game all by myself! Great outcome for the game isn't it!

AN EASY(?) fix would be to make crimes against unwanted players reeeal expensive bounty wise. And up the criminal wanted value to a point where it becomes dangerous to be a greifer........allowed but risky, Players with wanted statuses shoud be prepared to wear the costs

crimes against NPCs, who cares, they don't pay ED bills

My last comment, and I will leave at that, is; YES C&P is a mess... but it doesn't stop some of us from getting stuck in anyway. We care more about being involved than about C&P working correctly right now.

Back on topic: I've switched over to an eagle with a Wake Scanner. This will be all I need to keep up haha

It's not PvP'ers that's the problem... The problem is down to FD not sorting it out over the past 12-18 months!


How ridiculous and what a shame people can't play in OPEN and enjoy these sort of things/events due to the fact the game cannot handle/police griefers...

Why are the majority of the player base having their gaming affected (spoiled) by a minority? Why don't FD care?

I just got done watching sdc streaming and killing people with a wing of fdl. They pick easy prey and sad to say most do not try to fight back even if they are close to dying. Security response is a joke.

On that point, are any Canonneers streaming todays events?
I'd like to watch things unfold and I can't be ingame until later.

So I get up and check the thread before heading out to PRE Logistics Gamma for this anticipated content since 'the hunt begins on the 28th'.

And discover that it actually began at 3am on 27th.

Hmmm.

Memo to FD: Buy a calendar.

It hasn't begun yet. It begins in 25 minutes in Cail. Though it seems as though the REAL event might be in Apademak at 9pm in-game time.

Doesn't work: You're just giving money to griefers. They rack up bounties and then get in a sidewinder for their wingmates to kill. So then they are not only PKing, but also profiting handsomely from it.

It will be interesting to see what happens if the Expected doesn't turn up in Cail...

I thought about that.
I did not want to participate (even though this chat is super interesting for me due to my academic qualification), but then got sick yesterday. So, what happens if nothing happens? Cryptic message from MB to ... do something. On related note - in Cali under Christian outpost, the ground base. No landing pad. Just wierd "capacitors/transformers" and plenty drones.


On unrelated note -- Default Setting on x52 Pro MFD is UTC. So there is my gametime.:)
