Yeah that was Ziljan, and aside from his strange delusion that gankers don't know how to PvP well, he's very knowledgeable and skilled so listen to him (except when he talks about how we don't know how interdictors work, I think he lets his heart lead his analysis once in a while).
When I'm back in bubble we can try it that sounds fun. When I killed the SRV in video, I suspect (can't confirm as it only let me target lock on in final 3 seconds) most of the damage came from a ram of the SRV from my conda.

Indeed. As was the Thargoid. But for a brief moment (a bit like captain Blackader teaching home economics to the young girls of a certain convent school in Hiedelberg*1) the humiliation - must - have - been - UNBEARABLE!

P.S. I actually went for a holiday in Hiedelberg purely on the basis of that sketch. I drove around the city on a Segway. It was really nice.

This was what I was thinking about when writing Maybe I could land on your SRV? basically trying to get on top of your SRV and squeezing it into the ground playing orange juicer...
ROFL - thanks bridesmaid, like the beard!
There's a little ganker in you just waiting to come out my fren ;-)
Haha, I wouldn't go as far, still wearing the white knights hat, but I never left any doubt I consider my virtual alter ego's role as one of a mass murderer and corrupt money-grubbing corp guy.
You can't enter a room full of lamp black with a white suit and leave without having dirtied your hands or bedrabbling your suit.
Eternal damnation for all of us.

Huh. I was gonna make the move also.
I feel like sidewinder greifing would be a very smart decision, hell, it can be done right out the box with the assets carryover.

Negative.
x2 dumbfire rocket = one exploding SRV.
I have had much practive at Dav's hope in this sphere.
That's good to know. Last time I killed an SRV was comical with lots of MC, plasma and ramming.
I had dumbfire on firegroup 2 waiting the whole time. Would have been ez pz. Thanks for the murder tip.
However I do think it's still buggy with ground related targets. In this video, sentinel gets hit with once packhounds and goes flying, zero damage. another time he is wrecked. In particular at 1:37 the packhounds do nothing but fling the ship away with hilarity. But at 3:07 same hounds cause murder. I do think there's some behavior that is unpredictable in these situations, but believe you've found a surefire method to avoid the weirdness.

[full disclosure, that's not me piloting, but a different PS4 pilot who's probably better than me anyway]
Back on topic - I was out there for about almost 9 hours yesterday. You have no one to blame but yourself for not making me go boom boom. Now I am supreme warlord of WP4, a usefuless dump in the middle of nowhere and you are not! Z0!

Update to the thousands of readers who I know are all on the edge of their seats. I have officially comms ganked someone - the CMDR literally logged out to the verbal threat of an SRV. WP4 @ PS4 is a complete and utter victory for the forces of Zarek Null. We win battles without even firing a shot. Also battles where we fire shots. Zarek cannot be stopped. Z0.

THERE IS NO ZAREK NULL! THERE IS ONLY THE UNION OF POWERS AND SUPERPOWERS!
Weighting to the respective interests of the public and of the parties concerned Zarek Null and his reckless and will-less CMDR drones will - sooner or later - face their lawful and final fate for their abominable dark doings.

Now - more siriusly - I once read that ganking = gang killing hence technically you are not ganking cause you are alone. Currently.
Second - the CMDR you met in your instance might just have run a weaponless exploration vessel with no realistic chance to cause you any harm in your SRV. With the sword of Damocles in form of an Anaconda waiting his move to solo or private sounds like a reasonable choice.

C'mon man. Reverse the pilots, leaving ships as is. My hardpoints were stowed and I was descending towards the surface. He'd have already been dead if I wanted to kill him, and due to my roleplay he was instead not in danger.
So, that established, do you think I (Or Turnip, or Krash, or you) would have logged even in an explorer asp?
Or do you think I would have tried to crush that SRV from my asp? Or landed the asp and used my own srv? Or shot the stupid thing with my abrasion blasters and mining lazers (I have done this and posted a video somewhere).
I wouldn't combat log if I was in a hot air balloon and the opponent in a capital class flagship.
At least the guy could have low waked back into supercruise, where he is 100% safe from interdiction, and logged out then. Stayed with game parameters. But no. Logging. "Technically" maybe not since comms doesn't start the danger timer. But get real, this was a panic logoff in the middle of a player interaction. Weak.
(And actually blocking I suspect, worse than log IMO b/c now my instancing is affected - must have been how rude my language was
)Just another CMDR who thinks they want open play, until they actually encounter open play.
It's not the build it's the pilot.
[And if ganking requires a group then I've never ganked. Definitely dont need more than one ship for these folks I've been running into and mostly I run as a lone wolf even in bubble]

I like that you're getting into it. I might have to wage a little one CMDR war on your squadron (player faction?) back in bubble. Demonstrate that Zarek is indeed the shadowy power behind most of the important things happening in the galaxy.
It will be fun for all, trust me. That's the thing about Zarek. Always fun.
I have really no idea, hence please help me.
If somebody menu logs - 15s timer - vs combat log - aborting the game (how?) - do you see a difference in your instance? Can you decide/see what another CMDR has done?
I really don't know it cause neither I combat log nor did I ever come across another CMDR who I would have been able to identify he/she logged.

So per FDev, task killing or close application or pull network plug is 100% cheating. There is no ambiguity and you can even report a player, although many don't bother since FDev never punishes.
Menu logging (a 15 second timer starts while being attacked if you open menu) is not technically against FDev rules, but anyone who I would consider a real pilot never does this, b/c it is awful implementation. The timer should reset every time a bullet lands to prevent this weak out. So most of us (PvP'er, pirate, even many good PvE'ers) don't distinguish between the this and straight up task killing.
In this case, I think probably his timer wasn't even counting (because I was being so nice and using comms not multicannons). But any combat pilot would see this as no different than a combat log, except some would also call me stupid for bothering to use comms instead of just blowing the CMDR up. I don't personally agree because I think comms are fun. But some justify ganking because the only way to defeat combat logging is kill the ship so quickly they don't have time to task kill, and I will concede they have a point.
In this particular case, I suspect CMDR used blocked b/c when I clicked on the PS4 profile, it showed no activity. Which means that profile has high privacy settings, or blocked me. To me latter seems more likely. I don't think any reasonable human being could read my dialog and conclude it as "abusive" or whatever, anything justifying a block.
