Stop for one second... ask yourself...
"Do I really want to be this kind of person?"

You think it's despicable. It's part of the game and a legitimate way to contest an event.
Get over it.
I disagree. Fdev doesn't need to do anything. We can fix this ourselves.
Because of this; he's drawing attention to his plight. People are donating money to charity for him.
This discussion is not about him; it's about the actions of olayers against an in game asset. If people are harassing him personally; that is an entirely separate matter
Don't even need a second...
Excuse me?
While i am not completly agree with you, you are the guy who acualy doing something instead of whining. So, my respect goes to you. Get the stuff done, and get over it.
lol Karma doesn't exist.
How can it be a separate matter when people are only reaching out to harass him specifically bec---
you know what... no... you get no more of my energy.
Yeah, don’t waste time talking to a wall. Dove has been vocal about how sad he is about the UA bombing, and that’s what matters in the end.
I’m booting up my rig now, so hopefully I’ll be leaving for Maia within the hour. I’m hoping to get on the road tonight and be there by tomorrow night. I’ll haul as many MAs as I can get.

I get you are coming from a good place, and I respect that. But where does it end .. Cancer is not the only life threating disease, why not move to make sure that anyone with serious mental health issues can play with impunity? .. what if someone has something more serious than cancer? .. do we change the game to fit whatever illness people have?
Look I am sympathetic, I really am .. I have been there done that, lost people to all sorts .. this event is taking things too far and I am sorry but this is a game ... If you (and others) really want to do something, forget fixing the computer game ship and send some money to a cancer charity and really help .. your computer game stand makes no difference to anyone.

Yeah, I'd consider a lot of in game stuff harassment and griefing, killing a new player in a new ship is like running up and kicking over a childs sand castle. Pretty pathetic imo, but that doesn't mean it should be removed from the game, or "fixed" by the devs.

From the desk of my lovely better half, Mrs Goose4291
“I’m really sorry that this man had cancer. I can’t imagine what kind of hell he has had to suffer and what life holds for him. However. Here we go. I’m now going to be regarded as somewhat contentious. He is playing an online game with hundreds of thousands of players and he is still an active participant. Here’s the controversial part: why should his illness matter? If he hadn’t told you, you wouldn’t know. It doesn’t impact his game. It might impact his commitment to the game on a long term but at the same time why should people treat him differently?
What about the special provisions put in place by frontier you say? Well they did that (and very understanding of them too) and have made it clear that any issues can be dealt with via in game mechanics.
As I said before, I’m sorry this man has cancer and I really wish him all the best. But it’s still a multiplayer online game where people can do what they like within the game’s context.
I donate to PCF every year, and have on this event as well... I've already pushed this out to the media with some small traction.
All FDev had to do was restore the station and remove the black market.
There's "slippery slope" arguments, then there are people actively trying to harm someone dying from cancer under the banner of "emergent gameplay mechanics." FDev needs to show they are human and fix this. They can even file it under a "violation of ToS due to targeted harassment" if they want.
While I do not think it the case, could this be a PP ploy to get the big groups to use their reserve only to get smacked from behind?
Props to you and your group for your part in the solution.
