The one thing where the OP has a point it's UA bombing. It makes no sense in game and makes no sense for gameplay reasons and needs to be removed altogether.
Modes BGS is a joke, inf should be for open only
- Thread starter CMDR Britpacked
- Start date
Indeed. Since they are so disruptive to stations, you would think all ships would be cargo scanned by stations and any ships carrying them would be either refused docking or blown up.
stop taking 'content' away from me! respect my 'playing my way'!
(actually never bothered with ua but it's my right! modes are free! and genius! embrace modes!)
since fire is so disruptive to human skin and bone, you would think anyone in a burning station would gladly jump into my dirty cargo hold, instead of choosing a horrible death over travelling in anything other than a 'cabin'.
anyway, so you guys don't like ua bombing exactly why? too lazy to ferry meta alloys in safe mode?
Has nothing to do with modes, everything to do with gameplay mechanics, but nice try 90s.
what's wrong with gameplay mechanics? you can disable stations. you can re-enable stations. sounds ok to me!
sorry?
"Since they are so disruptive to stations, you would think all ships would be cargo scanned by stations and any ships carrying them would be either refused docking or blown up."
Plus the feller importing them is dumb enough to shoot himself in his own foot.
I'm not bothered by stations being disrupted, couldn't care less. It just makes no sense.
edit: By the way, you're talking to a CMDR who ferried two hauls of Meta Alloys to Jaques before there was a CG, I did care about that one. Stellar judgement old chap.

well, that would still not be reason enough to ask for them to be removed from the game, right? live and let live!
it's actually the biggest impact players can possibly have on the environment. if anything, the game could use more of that!!
was a pun to a very old thread (of yours) in which you diserted about what a brilliant idea modes are. i've been teasing you with that for ages, ziggy! you don't listen to me like you did anymore! :'(
but just to get this right, you're not suggesting i'm some sort of an alt of that90skid, right? right?? that would be bazmesoning!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for having ways to affect the game like this, but I'd prefer it in a way that makes more sense.
Nope, that just states I don't care one way or the other when it happens. You will find the reason in the rest of my post. You know, the part you removed?
I am aware of that. And I am very much still of the opinion the modes are brilliant. Here's the beauty. Too bad going off topic is allowed in these forums, so I had to request it to be closed.

Bringing the modes into an unrelated conversation uninvited is what I was referring at.
I am not suggesting you are in any way, shape or form an 90s alt.
I'm not!
Murder is overpowered still.
I hate the way bgs work always tries nudges you into the blacker realms clean bgs players are wel and truly punished with repetitive and inefficient mechanics.
Needs balancing to match Bounty Hunting which is very weak. 1 guy murdering for 6 hours should match 1 guy bounty hunting for 6.
To do this they need to drop the transactional droprate bounty hunting for a qualitative/numerical model (1kill 1 transaction) to match the way murder counts its transactions.

yes, but those were lore/immersion reasons. those can be handwaved even by an algorithm running on a z80!. you know smuggling is a thing and checks can be bypassed, right? and you know that personal greed and shortsightedness of just a few individuals can have pretty disastrous consequences irl? what should the feller care if he has made his profit and is already lightyears away in his orbital swimming pool way before the station starts melting? still see nothing wrong with that.
ok, got it.
(still, the most interesting/fun/informative content around here tends to be off topic! forum your own trail!)
A gameplay reason would be the impact is too substantial.
Most stuff smuggled doesn't radiate death to station. And it's funny that stolen goods are instaspotted, but these alien bobbitydoodas don't blip.
Don't have a z80 at my disposal, so talkshow host will have to do here.
Do we really need another thread on this? We already discussed this to DEATH in about 39 threads. The outcome is always the same: One side proclaims something needs to be done or stuff to be made open only, the other side pointing out that this would not fix the problem at all, which would in turn be ignored.

Funny thing is its different people coming and asking for this stuff. And the same group of people come and fight it to try and shut it down.
Its okay though. No one pays attention to that.

i would disagree. there's plenty of stations, and critical ones have been 'healed' in no time when needed.
anyway, your talkshow host can't be beaten. i yield!
Funny how it is people who don't understand how things work who demand changes to the game that would really bork it up and you and other "open only" proponents will latch on and push it while pointing fingers to those, who actually understand the game, and state that they fight it to "try and shut it down"...all in a bid to have your PVP utopia where anyone who wants to play the game HAS to be YOUR content because you can't be bothered to actually make your own.
