To the UA bombers

Seriously... why?
I just had a couple good buddies get the game and they wanted to go make some money. Took them out to Ceos and sure enough the mission board is down thanks to pathetic griefers with too much time on their hands. Get a life and stop making the game more difficult for everyone else who doesn't have a fleet of A-rated ships. /End Rant
 
Duplicate thread...but, oh well.

It isn't griefing.

You can still make money.

At other places. You just need to find them.

Too bad you and your buds just missed the latest CG, payouts were insane.

It's lame, but if I had to guess, they do it for the reactions. Leeches feed on blood, so let's not bloody the water ;)
 
No... but it is a small group of people intentionally causing an inconvenience for others (AKA Griefing). Obviously there are other places to make money and I know all the best methods. Already got them making millions per hour with starting ships and very little rep.
 
I understand it can be a pain , but this is what happens when you get a dynamic universe.

We still dont have blockades or anything like that , imagine how (awesome) it will be when we have them !

Now that being said , it can be a pain...
Given that elite is a Role playin platform here is what my char has to say :
''So , you have friends who just got sponsored and are about to take the true first steps into a galaxy that cares not for them?
A galaxy overrun with criminals and scum and you want to mix them with that crowd right out of the gate?

You are all in all , intreducing new pilots to a darker side of the galaxy in a sense luring them into the criminal underworld.

All that being said , the terrorist that use UAs as weapons are missguided , maybe brainwashed but you dont want to mix your friends in something as ilegal as the black market from day 1 , if ever.
Might I sugest what most pilots from my days would do?
Trading or local exploration , if you are brave maybe help out with the police? I know the new generation hates the police but they are our friends''

So, what's the problem. Some players wanted to have an effect on one of the most often exploited stations. Popularity is not good in the Elite Universe...you find something good you keep it to yourself. And if you get something good from another's friendly tip then be aware that everyone else knows about it too.

Same thing happens to bulk trading when people use the trade tools. New trade comes up, in come T9s and Cutters to demolish demand/supply.

All that is accomplished by this thread is to give the mischievous few exactly what the wanted.

Thats not greifing.

For it to be greifing they would have to abuse a system , FD consider this legit.

They could be trolling , or virtual protesting or role playing
 
I would look up the price of salt on the commodities market, but unfortunately they don't seem to sell it. But hey, I just 332 mil on a CG. So did 3 other bombers. No skin off our teeth.

Bomb one city, there are enough others, right.
I think you don´t get the point.
And right, it´s not griefing, it´s terrorism.
 
I suppose from an in game perspective, it is
Not even from an in-game perspective. No lives were taken or even put in danger.

All UA bombing supposedly does is disable station support for ships. The rings keep turning, the plants keep growing and all life support continues to churn along. Economic activity is cut, sure, but that isn't terrorism.

It is more like a DDoS attack against the corporation running the station.

Seriously guys I dont even know why you are posting. Do you not get it that its how they get their jollies off and you giving them a platform here is just pandering to that. IF they are being an ass, go do something else until the get bored.
 
It would not be a UA thread without the salt....
