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.

Which is why C&P is currently broken. The obvious answer would be to limit the number of reincarnations, but there are probably subtler ways of implementing improvements.
 
the point is, pour all your time for a week working out codes and such. spend 12 hours in Cail, getting interdicted by every freak who thinks this is Call Of Space Duty, then at the time and place it's supposed to happen it doesn't cos you don't live next door to the Frontier Employee who is NPCing the next part. Its stupid, anticlimactic and insulting.

I know it sucks to not have been directly part of it but these puzzles are always aimed at the community as a whole, never for individuals to all have the same, unique experience. It's more about that it happens than everyone crowding around to watch it.

Having said that, I know how you feel. I never seem to be anywhere near these people in these moments either lol
 
Hi cmdr's,

Very impressive work done on this puzzle. Please don't lose heart in solving this. The truth is what we want to know.

As this is a scientific endevor it should be noted that all variables should be explored and tested.

that will help us to be sure we are making correct conclusions or correct findings.

(Just some encouragement :))
 
Nowt in Solo, this talk of a player in open only? Does not seem right.

Given that FD want to push open as ''The place to be'' it makes sense. Crime and Punishment is broken, so people don't WANT to be there, but it is still the intention to have people in open.

Most people have two names. We were not told that Kohl was his *only* name.

It's Dynamicbob. He either trolls or takes a little while to catch up, I can't tell which.
 
Yeah the event hasnt started some group or individual tried to fake it.

You can't fake those messages - well you *could* in Photoshop I guess - but players cannot send those messages to each other.

I think this is not a human-controlled ship (FD or otherwise)- I think it's a time-triggered spawn, as that's significantly easier for FD to implement for the whole playerbase. And then there's the issue of the PVP limits etc as mentioned above by others.

I reckon FD can do time-triggered spawns - let's face it, they can do other event-driven spawns, such as Seeking Weps/Drugs etc - time is simple compared to BGS state triggers.

So let's take it at face value because there's no guarantee the bloke's going to hang around all day, and get the guy his drugs!

ok assuming we are falling for this hook line and sinker, we need an M class start just on its own

It shows up as a hollow dot, so either it's human-controlled or an interesting fake of a sort we haven't seen before.
Considering Mr Kohl seemed to mispaste part of his message once, I think it probably is human-controlled...

Which only makes it more relevant that we should get on and give the man his narcotics, because if I'm right he's effectively working on a Sunday to do this :p
 
thats cmdr logan kohl not Kohl still not convienced on this one

You do realise that the names given in clues could also be First or Last names of NPCs? Just because it's written as Kohl, Dillon and Granger, doesn't mean that's literally the only names that'll show on the scanner, it is a possibility yes, but you're also dismissing it as fake without considering that, so yes other people may be assuming Logan Kohl is the one, but you're also assuming that only Kohl will appear.

I guess no one will be sure for quite some time, so ease up on quadruple posting the same thing about it being fake, we get the picture, you think it's fake, some people are still speculating.

That and to keep control of a player account in a mode that anyone can enter open is probably the only option. Not sure how this is working for PC and Xbox though... have both said they have seem him?
 
Remember Palin, how we met him as Cmdr Ishmael , then found out there are a Professor Palin, then that Cmdr Ishmael was Prof Ishmael Palin


one of the nearby M class hook line and sinkers no planets, so probably a single m9 (as they usually have next to no bodies)

This. With some extra bits.
1. You can't send messages line that.
2. That reflection with the angled text inlaid. If that's fake, that's some grade A photoshop skills. I'll eat my hat of that's fake.
3. FD have already demonstrated they will rp characters in game with salome.

In this occasion, someones got some solid proof imo. I want to see proof its fake at this point.
