PSA: Suicidewinder trick still works as of 2 Oct 2017 at 1406 Eastern Time

MissMeYet · Oct 2, 2017

Gained a 18K Cr bounty in an ASP with a 2.3M rebuy. Switched to a Sidewinder in a different system and blew up. No 2.3M added to the rebuy, and now the bounty is dormant. Video available if required.

probably best to put that vid in a bug report.

The extra rebuy cost is for PVP kills only. Although as it happens on the reddits they say that it is in fact broken as well.

Strange ... I thought we tested it in Beta and it worked according to the new C&P

Yes, it was a PvP kill of a trader ship at the CG. He died....poorly.

Why add the 'Poorly' bit on the end. Ok you killed a Trader, big deal, well done sir, rep to you (Not). killing traders is not something to brag about. OK inform us that the so called C & P is not working, and thanks for that, but have no pride in 'Seal Clubbing' it's not pretty, it's not nice. and it is certainly Not Clever!

Sorry but thats the funniest thing I've read on the forum this year.

Did you suicide in an anarchy system ?

Achibot · Oct 2, 2017

Or was your target in a hostile PP power? Since you took a video.....

Drelthar · Oct 2, 2017

Hum. Considering Hercules already fell foul of the powerplay system situation during Beta, I doubt he made the same mistake twice.

MissMeYet · Oct 3, 2017

The bounty was gained in Wolf 397 at the CG. The suicidewinder thing was back at Jameson Memorial.

Should I go back and destroy a Harmless, shieldless T6 and confirm the bug?

Because it's a play on the old science fiction tropes of "He died well", or "Today IS a good day to die!" Don't worry, I get your confusion; Many Europeans lack the finer understandings of American idioms. I'm still not sure about "He got jacked up!" though.

I always thought it was a spoof on the old Indiana Jones movie.

It was a joke..

"Jacked up" is a very common phrase in American military forces.

I like to read it as the "Murderer's" combat skills are so poor that the trader took a long time to die.

Tis quite funny though.

I'm not a fan of the practice but it does add some life to the galaxy in the form of bad guys. Why don't you go after him and take him out or make a funny video on YouTube with your own thoughts and commentary?

Ah, the sublime American language culture.

I thought it was an Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade pastiche... "He chose... poorly"
