Please fix PVP piracy...

Had a break from elite for 4 months(because piracy wasnt working), came back into the game today, still cargo is invisible, just wasted 200+ hatch breakers nothing drops, even if it says "cargo dropped" and i even scan my victim s and their cargo hold is full of goodies. Im so frustrated and I just want to quit playing this game:(

My sympathies. I'm quite new to PvP piracy, and I already know EXACTLY what you're on about.

Also, please do something about, "collector limpet expired". So tired off only 10% of the limpets actually work.. cuts too much into profit, and annoying to have to go back to base and refill all the time. Is the tech inyear 3000 so ething really that bad?!!!

Dude, PvP piracy is fixed (see video), and collector limpets always work within their design time and distance limits.

Nope pirates have had hatch breakers and are getting quick scan wake canners; bounty hunters still cant even get a bounty because of the suicidewinder exploit and the local bounty sys which limits them.

What suicidewinder are yo talking about? And there is not really any need for hatch breakers when the cargo is invisible... PVP piracy just doesnt work at all, so it needs fixing. Isnt the wake scanners useful for bounty hunters too?

No it is not fixed, used 200+ limpets, most of them die 1 second after i drop them. Im getting broke on buying limpets... but yeah, once in a blue moon the cargo actually drop, I get cargo from 1 out of 50 ships i use breakers on....wouldn't call that fixed....

Im guessing your not a PVP pirate though, i can make a video like that too, because sometimes it works, but its very rare that it actually does...

Omg f... love this, now the collector limpet picks up 1 cargo, then it dies, it cost me 1 limpet for one can of cargo...


Edit: I suggest frontier makes the limpets free of cost until they fix this s.h.i.t!!!

Just checking you all know that Limpets expire when you target a cargo right? If you fire them off without a target they last for as long as the specification says they should?

No idea why your hatch breakers don't work. Carrying 200 seems a bit excessive.

Nailed it brah! But personally I use 1 collector per canister because faster, and really 100 cr is cheap when scooping gold or whatever, brah!

To be honest, player bounty hunting deserves more attention than Piracy at the moment. Player piracy, as horrendous as the system still is, is leagues better than the close to non-existent bounty hunting mechanics.

*Gets stoned to death back home*

But before we addressing the overall picture with proper crime and punishment. Advancing either profession at a complex level will just end up tripping and falling flat on their faces due to inevitable imbalance.

If there are any quality of life changes to piracy that are simple to implement, please by all means implement them.

Hypothetically speaking, if the BH system worked and was awesome, would you turn coat and become a gamekeeper?

I dont target cargo, they just expire anyway, and no i dont carry 200, i just said, i lost 200+ in 1 hour gaming session. I useally carry 30 each time. Those 30 is just enough to empty one cargo hold from one ship, like 10 of them actually work, also when that ship full of gold drops invisible cargo, i loose money. Just because something works for you, dont assume it works for everyone else... my breakers are bugged as hell....

maybe that's one good thing about immersion-breaking multicrew gunner outside 3rd person camera view. To help blast those pesky piracy limpets!
and add each limpet kill to combat ranking too, lol.

Have you tried turning the module off and then on again?

So go and make a bounty hunting whine thread instead off telling me in my thread that piracy is ok. IF bounty hunting is messed up then they should fix that too. But clearly piracy needs fixing, i never tried bounty hunting so i cant comment, but it offtopic in this thread!!!
