Opinions on combat logging

It's still not an accurate use of the term.


Hahahahaha!

Yeah, well it's the term everyone who does the activity uses.

You are literally trying to say the world champions in the sport are using their own jargon incorrectly!


Your hubris is hilarious!
And the rest of your post is also nonsense!
 
Devari, sparring is indeed the correct term, as it is a practice bout. First time 'walk-in's' that Bob is referring to, the initial sparring match is an evaluation of innate talent and prior training one has recieved. I'm not an avid martial artist (that requires one to choose a discipline) however I did get to interact with many different martial artists during my time as an instructor in hand to hand for the Army.

I believe you are thinking about these professional matches that a lot of people engage in. Those are still sparring, but also ranked and judged. Throwing a novice into that mess would be like seal clubbing in Elite lol.

As for the pvp ships, I get your argument although I somewhat disagree. To me, a PvP ship isn't designated as such due to my opinion but rather the opinion of the ships owner... That doesn't mean it is a GOOD PvP ship lol.

I do get where Devari is coming from, but what you are saying is correct also.

In the context of PvP, killing other players is not instruction or sparring without some form of coaching. Repetitive killing of the same player in such circumstances is tantamount to (if not actual) griefing in that kind of case. This is what at least some PvPers do not appreciate.

As I stated on the other thread with the video, if you are not completely harmless combat rank and have some spare honour, you do not need to rely on the 15 sec logout. You simply do not log out and face your rebuy. It is called fairness in sports. Otherwise go back to your mama

I'm sure that the mods have an opinion of just about everything that they read, but being factually incorrect or a sloppy debater isn't a breach of the forum rules, so...
think my ice is getting pretty frozen better tell Chef Ramsay that we're serving frozen ice.

ruh roh i got reported again.. this discussion can't be very dangerous much like the game.

Sorry but that statement makes no sense. If you are not using your class 8 slots for a shield or SCBs you are not flying a "PVP equipped" Cutter. Equipping your ship for trade or for PVP combat are mutually exclusive uses of those internal slots. You need to choose between filling your internal slots with a large shield and SCBs/HRPs/MPRs or filling them with cargo racks.
That is why you COMPROMISE. You DO NOT get to have a Trade Ship that can take on a Cutter, and if you believe otherwise there is no helping you. Your PIRATE CUTTER is NOT AS GOOD at combat as a PURELY FITTED WARSHIP. The same applies to your TRADE CUTTER, it is NOT going to be as good at combat as a COMBAT FOCUSED CUTTER.

There are PLENTY of ways to ESCAPE FROM PEOPLE without breaking the 4th wall. YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN COUNTLESS EXAMPLES BUT ALWAYS HAVE AN EXCUSE FOR WHY YOU NEED TO QUIT.

That is how it works, in ANYTHING, that is how it works in the game. Your 18 wheeler is NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING TO A TANK.
Choosing to install cargo racks does not suddenly make the combat "fair" when the player carrying out the interdiction can specifically choose to interdict a PVE-equipped ship while flying a PVP-equipped ship.
It's not a "PvE equipped ship" it's a TERRIBLE BUILD FOR A TRADE SHIP.

If you are getting rekt before you can even get away YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG.

I get interdicted on the damned daily and I DO NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES BECAUSE MY SHIP IS A COMPROMISE BETWEEN TWO IDEALS.
If you have never encountered the various game bugs such as submitting to an interdiction and having it give you a long FSD cooldown then you obviously haven't played the game very much. It is a very well-known bug that has been in the game since launch.
I've encountered plenty of bugs, just never with the FSD. The only bug I get with my FSD is when people disappear during the instance load. And I don't mean cloggers.

I've only got a thousand hours in the game mate, sure I don't know what I'm talking about.


Have you NEVER been in a relationship in your life?

You compromise, you learn what works. WHY IS A GAME AN EXCEPTION TO THAT PROCESS.

IMPROVISE, ADAPT, OVERCOME. THAT IS HOW YOU SUCCEED.

And this right here is the cost of learning how to play the game:

That's it. 100,000,000. Compared to how much cash you can earn in the game.

You interdicted me a while back. I almost had your shields down when you ran, 1v1. Would have been a fun fight if you stuck it out.

Would have been a fun fight...if you'd made a completely irrational decision in combat to your disadvantage...
Is that what you meant?
They aren't about a fair fight, its about a quick kill with them

If you ever find yourself in a "fair" fight...you're doing something wrong...
 
Hyperspace lanes, take me hooooommeeeeee....

Sorry Redstar, I really couldn't help myself! :D :D :D


I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Galnet reminds me of my home far away
Hyperspacing down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday


Hyperspace lanes, take me home
To the place I belong
West Terra-nova, mountain mamma
Take me home, hyperspace lanes
