Dove Enigma UA bombed, preventing completion of its voyage in time for the man it was named for.

[Macros Black]

Sold my Meta-Alloys. Uneventful journey, except for the interdiction. System security wanted to check me out

What form of karma would you like to see?

Well, some sort of incurable, high embarassing but non-fatal skin disease springs to mind...oh, in game you mean? No idea.

 

[Aashenfox]

Do you realize that you and everyone you know will die?

Speak for yourself, I plan to live forever.

 

[Majic-12]

What form of karma would you like to see?

It would seem the instant variety is most popular at the moment.

 

[Aashenfox]

No one gets to decide that. Karma is karma and does what it does.

No, sadly, karma is a human construct no more real than God or the Tooth Fairy. Nice guys finish last, but they do get to say that they made it with their morals and dignity intact, which if you ask me is all anyone needs to be able to say.

 

[Blackneto]

On the other hand, if it was possible to destroy megaships in this game the Dove Enigma would now be a smoking pile of wreckage assets, quite possibly pushed around to spell out LOL and with a video uploaded to YouTube. I can already hear people crying, "That's just speculation!" Yes it is. But we all know it's 100% on the money. If something can be done in this game, sooner or later someone will do it.

they'd all be rubble by now.

An engineer stationed at the Dove Enigma gave the following statement to the attackers:

"Thrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!"

and the surplus will allow us to safeguard against any further sabotage attempts

Heh, nice.

 

[Shinji Ikari]

I'm going to regret asking this, but: the what now?

You mean what's the Red Room? Go and look for it, I'm not keen to tell you unless it is through a PM.

No one gets to decide that. Karma is karma and does what it does.

Or it doesn't exist and if it does, it works horribly.

 

[Non Grata]

Exactly!

If I had my say, it would be the most nasty of all paybacks in the minds of the guilty. But that's just me.

And your "moral compass" allows for that?

 

[Shinji Ikari]

No, sadly, karma is a human construct no more real than God or the Tooth Fairy. Nice guys finish last, but they do get to say that they made it with their morals and dignity intact, which if you ask me is all anyone needs to be able to say.

Same deal with Murphys Law.

 

[Shackram]

But it's still a crummy thing to do. It's in very poor taste, imo.

I'm actually docked there now; I arrived before the UA bombing. Are MAs available anywhere nearby? I'd deliver some, if it's feasible.

Wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't been anywhere close to Colonia and is just here to pathetically troll and try to steal some of the attention.

 

[Non Grata]

Well, some sort of incurable, high embarassing but non-fatal skin disease springs to mind...oh, in game you mean? No idea.

Just a simple disease, that's okay then.

 

[Old Duck]

Awesome. I knew everyone would fix it. I had to stop at Amundsen Terminal for the night because I was in danger of falling asleep behind the stick and wasting a Fuel Rat's time. I think I'll turn around and take my cargo to one of these other stations in danger of shutting down.

All of Colonia remains under siege! Jacques is currently "down", and I've heard other stations have been attacked as well. (maybe not)

I had my exploration modules stored at Jacques so I could run some passenger missions out here, so thankfully I was allowed to transfer them to Dove Enigma or I would have been stranded!

ps - is Lockdown a result of UA bombing or BGS manipulation? I'm a noob when it comes to this kind of griefing...

 

[GreyAreaUK]

Just a simple disease, that's okay then.

Nothing fatal, obviously. I'm not a monster.

 

[Non Grata]

Nothing fatal, obviously. I'm not a monster.

Well I always say it's the thought that counts!

 

[GreyAreaUK]

Well I always say it's the thought that counts!

Well after all, was it not the Lord Our Riddler who spaketh thus:"Don't kill'em! If you kill'em they don't learn nothin'!"

 

[Crank Larson]

ps - is Lockdown a result of UA bombing or BGS manipulation? I'm a noob when it comes to this kind of griefing...

It happens when there is too much criminal behaviour in a system (e.g. commanders have been destroying local security ships). (BGS not UA)

 

[Doctor Zajo]

You obviously didn't read the part where I said, quoting here, "Exploits are, of course, a different story. And should be handled appropriately." My point was that the station would have been bombed regardless of an exploit.

Once again, you call this UA bombing "morally bankrupt" and use armchair psychology as a platform to punish. There's no requirement to be a nice person in elite dangerous. Simple as that. The actions taken in game come NO WHERE NEAR the definition of bullying or harassment of any individual or group

Exactly. This is a GAME people. It will not always be played the same by everyone. Just like life people are going to do things that you don't like.

That doesn't mean they are bullies or evil. It just means you don't like it. And that is fine. So take that energy and do something about it in game.
