griefers...dont you just love em....

[cargorunner1969]

seems to me, that without them, once you get up to the higher rankings of the game, the game is vanilla.

the griefers will say "git gud. fight back" "go solo"

git gud isn't an option when a t10 costs up to 27,000,000 to rebuy, my corvette, 21,000,000. how many wads like that you going to lose?
go solo...that's back to vanilla.

what I would like to see is a much more aggressive police response. that way, I know I only have to hold the attacker off for a certain amount of time before the fur really starts to fly.
I've tried that tactic as the response is now, didn't work.

no, I think the answer for me, is RUN.

 

[Hooplah]

You are right, run! The game NPCs are a joke when it comes to live players. But how to run is the skill one needs to learn. Even better learn to win the interdiction game.

 

[cargorunner1969]

introduction game?

introduction game?

Interdiction, probably autocorrect!

 

[Factabulous]

Well, if you're bad at the interdiction game it becomes an introduction outcome

 

[Hooplah]

Interdiction, probably autocorrect!

More like dyslexia. Brain thinks interdiction. Fingers type introduction.

 

[Cmdr Ultra]

Freudian slip.

 

[ethelred]

learn to fly to avoid the interdiction - problem solved.

Then there is the best of both worlds. Find yourself a Private Group that limits or restricts PvP. I see as many players around in a PG, as I did in open. Find and enjoy the environment you most enjoy. E|D is awesome for having that option when you want it.

introduction game?

Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my T-9, prepare to die.

There, fixed it for you.

Oh no! Two bogey-men in one thread! This could get serious... Or not.

I'm not against a bit of PvP, generally lose it as my ships are not generally that role orientated. But hate griefers. Last one had a very well put together viper 4 and completely blindsided me while I was in the middle of a fight with an Anaconda

 

[GunnerBill]

You can't win OP, but as you say there are alternatives to fighting.

 

[Toumal]

Why are you posting this thread, OP?
You are giving them what they want. Salt.

You can win: private groups. Which is why the same users keep pushing for making everything they can open-only. Come join Mobius, problem solved.

I'm not sure I remember being serious... I suspect I'm too old tbh.
