Galactic time was adopted

Hostilities between them cannot be conducted if one party does not turn up
because they have calculated the time incorrectly.

And yet two hours, in the hotttest system in the game this morning, without hassle!
And if they had gunned me down...so what? I have rebuys, I was docked nearby. It doesn't matter. I'd have tried to waste as much of their time as possible, for the sake of other Commanders, then gone and made a cup of tea.

Yes, there are idiots and children who think 'community event' means 'turkey shoot'. But they're only spreading salt if you let it bother you. And they aren't elitist PvPers, either: 'PvPer' is a different and distinct type of person to 'hangs out at hubs and shoots fish in barrels using a Corvette/Cutter/Conda'

Uhm.. ok.. you obviously dont have a clue what are your muttering about. i will leave it at that.. somewhere out there on the interwebs.. theres a few we b communities who do nothing but brag about who they killed, what private out of game bounty was the highest.. these Elitist pvp'rs live on those sites.. they dont hang around hubs and stations.. they actively hunt players for sport.. and each kill and each tear is honey to them... there ultimate goal is to rekt the game for others to become an idol for future pvp'rs to follow " i rekt the game and fdev couldnt do nothing about it!" would be the chant i suspect anyway as i said it makes no difference database wise if the event unfolds in open private or solo mode. You cannot play this game offline for that reason. Everything happens on the AWS. look it up.

FDev could just have said 'in-gametime' and everyone would know when things were supposed to happen. But requiring people to be in Open and providing live bait for playerkiller-groups? That's where I draw the line.

You can't have player agency and emergent content with out breaking a few eggs. Canonn could easily outfit combat ships and fight SDC, they are not amazing pvpers or anything. The whole hard points stowed philosophy doesn't get you far in the Elite universe.

I like the aspect of the event to draw in all types of sorts of CMDRs.
If there is something valuable to be seen, it is worth money.
Did you ever expect this to go peacefully?

I love the cognitive dissociation going on here.... but I'm already done. I really hope this isn't how events get done in the future, because I have/had no chance of getting involved.

1. It's a point time reference. Granted, this might just be the start of things, but as I mentioned two hours ago, I was out at dinner. Can't do much about that, and here I am.
2. Open play^ through an RP player? Really? Not FD's fault, but here in Australia, where our Internet is... inadequate... because of the way the instancing in this game works, in a system where there's bound to be dozens of players searching for this guy, my chances of just happening to wind up in that instance are Buckley's and none.

Now, this may just be the start, we bring a bunch of narcotics and other things flow on. But I don't want to spectate. Even though people solved the puzzles already, I still went round them and redid some just to verify. But point-in-time event occurrences plain suck from a game design perspective. Timezones notwithstanding, they're a surefire way to disenfranchise most of your player base. At the very least, make it something that's *reliably* accessible for 24 hours.

^ On the Open Play note, I don't buy into the hate on SDC and all that bunch. It'd be hypocritical given I shipped 200 UAs to Jacques, which is all manner of "griefing" if you ask most people out there. This is a technical issue with the event combined with the way instancing works, pure and simple. I've gone to CGs where I hear all manner of "griefing" going on, and happily walk in and out in a T9 because my rubbish Internet means I don't get instanced with many, if any people.

Yeah in australia we can play in open with no worries at all, still dial up out here in the colonies.

Going to be snide either way, are we.
Scoff a small ship as not good enough
the scoff at someone who says it is fine for them

Nice to know this thread is just like the rest of the forum.
