SDC Commences "Operation SpicyBois"

Greetings, programs!


It has come to the board's attention that the controversial "heat meta" has become a problem with no solution in sight. SDC and many other PvP groups like AA and IW have abstained from using heat weapons in combat, since they are a horribly broken game mechanic that get in the way of fun combat with no way to counter them. However, this has sparked many comments on Reddit and the forums that we all need to "stop crying" and "get over it" (more on that later).


So the next logical question is: "How does a broken game mechanic become fixed?" Excellent question! Let's take a look at the 2.0 NPC behaviour as an example. While not a problem (challenging, but not impossible), it was by far the most complained-about topic on the official Frontier Forums, and also one of the most quickly-fixed ones. So what made it so quickly patched? Let's have a look at the timeline in a nutshell:


("issue") + (endless forum complaints) = (FDev's attention) = (fix)


Now let's apply this to the heat weapon issue:


(issue) + (numerous PvP player complaints) = (zero attention from FDev) = (no action)


Going off this, it is quite easy to see what the problem is. It is not a matter of the *quantity* of the complaints, but also their *quality* in regards to the place that they're posted. Frontier does not respond to PvP player complaints regarding balance, but rather the complaints of Forum regulars in regards to their gamplay. The next question that arises is: how do you make the heat meta an issue for the majority of the Frontier Forum regulars? Ah, another excellent question! That is where the game's resident terrorist organisation comes in with a new, purposeful campaign: Operation SpicyBois



  • What is it?
Simple. We are going to strive to make the heat meta an issue for the players most likely to visit the official Frontier Forums. Wings of SDC SpicyBois will be equipping stupidly non-meta ships *(warning: keelbacks and orcas)* with full heat loadouts and patrolling the occupied bubble. Upon finding potential candidates, informative communication protocols will be established with the target, upon which said SpicyBois will then apply jet fuel to the target's steel beams until all signs of life cease. We are taking your feedback of "getting over heat" and applying it to you: the people!




  • Why are you doing this?
This game deserves a better class of criminal. Gone are the days of piracy. The playerbase has complained about meaningless killing time and time again, and we hope to fix that with this operation. This is proper terrorism with an objective as a means to an end (a useful end at that). We are the instruments of your liberation from the heat meta.




  • I just got roasted by a wing of SpicyBois, what do I do to stop this?
Glad you asked! Create a thread on the official Frontier Forums' "Dangerous Discussion" board regarding your issue, preferably with screenshots and/or videos to strengthen your case. Get a discussion going regarding the issue and how unfair/one-sided the conflict was. Hopefully Frontier lends an ear to the cacophony that will be generated.


For now, return to your trade routes/extraction sites, hold your wingmen close, and wait. Soon you claim what is rightfully yours. Let the games begin!




Yours lovingly

Disclaimer: no heat weapons will be used against PvP groups and/or in proper fights.

Am I the only one who thinks this goes to Dangerous Discussions?

Seriously... if this was at least written like an ultimatum of some rogue fleet that wants to force the superpowers to ban advanced heat weaponry for its danger in civil hands, calling for disarmament.

Instead the first thing you read is programs and PvP etc. ... and FDEV.

Oh, did putting the Fuel Rats on that KoS list with that pathetic excuse not arouse the long-longed-for interest? Well who would've guessed. But of course, trying more pathetic might just do the trick, who knows ...

But don't worry, kid, we refuel even you if need be. Take this Rattatoon as evidence.

Because they help other players. SDC is vehemently against any type of cooperative gameplay - when it isn't a wing of 4 engineered FDLs against new players, anyway.

SDC must of course understand that every player they interact with in Open is cooperating with them to some degree. Otherwise they would simply not see anyone else to play with as those other players either choose to play in other modes, or they take immense pleasure in elementary networking and simply say "git gud" in morsed timecodes on netlogs.

SDC own acting in the past and killing new or inexperienced cmdrs just for the lulz makes this whole operation useless for announced 'goal' right on start ... it's simply another killing for lulz. Cmdr's get used use different ways how to dealt with them and using heat weps makes no difference = no global crying, no global histeria.

Unless there's some kind of high quality hot sauce and maybe tacos involved, then I'm not interested in your silly little operation.

Go flaunt your e-peen some place else.
