Where is the Smiling Dog Crew's Home System?

Of course - that is how the BGS works.

Player pew-pew has near zero effect on the BGS - so why on earth would knowledgeable players waste their time with it?

Because shooting at the NPCs (or should I say bots) and grinding the background sim is like watching paint dry compared with player encounters. People want more from the game than repetitive, predictable grinding.

Yea, you guys totally showed them by fighting NPC ships in a private group. Well done.

I think most of them even struggle to kill NPCs judging by all the whining on the forums.
 
You know, people always complain in games about how NPCs aren't smart enough, or skilled enough, or the NPCs don't feel ALIVE. Now we have the SDC running around shooting at will, much like wanted NPCs, and we're all complaining. Maybe just get into the spirit and enjoy it? I mean, I don't wanna get killed by them by any means but if I ran across one of them it would certainly make the game feel more living and challenging. If I'm flying a ship that can't afford the rebuy then I'm the one to blame, not them. And if I lose a bunch of money in cargo... well... Tough. Only fly in high security zones if you need better protection. Cops will show up really quick in high security systems and you have a better chance of survival. So, idk. Chill out an enjoy the game everyone. Both SDC and all other Open players. (I'm not a part of SDC and would love to see them all blown to hell endlessly... in the spirit of Elite: Dangerous)

They'll have you killed LONG before any security shows up, regardless of what the system security level is. Try getting interdicted by one in a Fully-modded FDL and see how long it takes them to kill you.

Well there's people who like to see paint dry... hence morbious...
 
Oh but they did ;)

I challenged SDC to single combat and didn't hear a thing back. I had a sad :(

They only do wing fights if they're not in their precious FDLs. Turns out they're rather easy to kill when not in their beloved cherry creamsicle space snake, as one and his FAS found out when given the drop on my Viper IV.

Yet I don't believe they came here to the forums endless complaining about the attack though.

Why would they? It's just playing the game.

Attacking unarmed traders, camping at a station and destroying ships by abusing dodgy mechanics and stream sniping with the purpose to illicit a response is going to get a... response.
 
By the way .... if this is about settling the score with SDC, there's a surefire way of doing this.

Raise your right hand, open, thumb against your nose. Stick out your tongue and go: prprprprpr.

And you'll be cleaning your monitor in the knowledge you sure showed them.

Best.post.ever. :D :D :D
 
Hi all,
I've been attacked during multiple CG's for no reason by members of the SDC and I'm not complaining, I'm just curious. Where do these guys operate out of? Which Systems do they frequent? Where have they been spotted outside CG's? I'm putting together a wing to bring the fight back to them. Thanks 07

Why do you care? They hide in Solo/Group as almost every Grieferclan I am aware of.
 
I sure wish some of you forum warriors had showed up to help defend Walters Dock from SDC at the Farewell To Walter Waldo CG weekend before last. With the exception of a VERY small handful of defenders, SDC pretty much ruled the system and killed haulers by the hundreds unopposed. Where were you guys then?

Similar place I am now - 18 Kylie's out.

I'm not going to do anything to do with SDC with my other accounts, and even if they are on Xbox - I'm so bad on controller I'd just be feeding - not good.

Why though, was an event arranged with no thought to providing security? That is the organizers fault.
 
FD offered to have our faction reinserted into the game as it was removed in error (player factions are not supposed to drop out of existence and isn't permitted). However, we have declined to have our faction reinserted because it only serves to give PvE lords some twisted sense of accomplishment when they 5th column or shoot npcs with the faction tag on it.

After all, the entirety of open is our home system.

Would the be the same, or similar, twisted sense of accomplishment certain SDC members get from blatantly and deliberately destroying unarmed traders, explorers, newbies etc for nothing but their own kicks? Or the same twisted sense of accomplishment from infiltrating groups like Mobius? What's good for the goose and all that.......
 
They had an opportunity to fight back, whats the problem. It was a level playing field.

the first rule of asymetrical warfare being 'avoid the level playing field', Piracy/griefing/whatever-we're-calling-it-now relies on the unfair advantage, whatever you think about these guys their tactics are sound, as kinda funny as the hasty retreat from home system is its fair enough.
