This is ridiculous and against Elite Dangerous law, to my knowledge.

You know Phisto, I'm going to have to confess that I used to think that fabulous looking fellow in your avatar might really be you! (I really can be quite naive and gullible you see!) I now have to imagine him with a spliff in his hand though! Be careful... Mary Jane is a kind mistress, but a poor muse. You're right about the women though... things in this world would go down a whole lot differently if we had the... er, whip hand.
To be honest I’m going the David Byrne route when it comes to chemical enhancements. All natural organic crazy for me.
Regarding the avatar, have you seen Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch? That’s Andrew Scott playing Moriarty. To die for.

Andrew Scott was also "Max Denbigh" in the 007 film "Spectre". He plays sinister characters very well.
And it goes both ways (from a purely financial perspective as well). Maybe they should not cover insurance of a CMDR's ship without any defensive modules (especially when said defensive modules makes you gank proof), those that are killing themselve crashing on a planet/star etc...

definitely.... a ship should be space worthy no doubt!. (funnily enough this would solve an issue of the suicide rammers as well.......)
but that said..........IF for instance non engineer modded D rated modules are what you are suggesting are not space worthy then they should not really be on sale in the game. so this would be quite the headache to get right imo..........
me though, i personally never fly without basic protection such as a shield, albeit fairly light weight one.

Huge influence on me growing up. All my friends were big Talking Heads fans. Don’t play anymore, but Stop Making Sense was regular viewing for us.
I was fortunate enough to see him play in the early 2000s. Incredible show. Beyond words. The man is a treasure to humanity.
Playing ED in open is saying: come at me bro.
I agree with you it would be quite a headache. The only suggestion/idea i could come accross would be Pilots federation standard/requirement to get cover by the insurance based on players data and an alternative for rogue CMDRs to be able to leave Pilots federation and join Criminal Cartel which would offer services with different rules e.g : like only 25% reimbursment but 75% of the value of the clean ship you destroyed paid (pourcentage value are just for the exemple and i am aware it could create an easy money exploit)

There is a lot to like in that idea, it has legs. Combine karma, notoriety & other stats & use the insurance payout percentage to encourage 'safe' behaviour while allowing more 'dangerous' behaviour to continue at a cost.
ETA in this case by 'dangerous' I mean both flying a paper aeroplane and overkill.

Every player in SD should be experienced. If they rushed to get their before learning the ropes, sorry but I have zero sympathy if they haven't figured the basics out yet. It took me nearly a year before I got access. So I kind of love the salt generated by whiney noobs who didn't take the time to learn the game before getting to elite status.
Maybe frontier needs to slow progression down so that these noobs aren't noobs by the time they hit elite.
That doesn't make any sense, SD is a high security system.
Oh my gods! You have joy headed your way. I'm pretty sure it was one of the first proper rock and roll concert videos, like, ever. Absolutely want to hear what you think of it. Here's a GIF from it to celebrate:
Your reply, is bizarre.
"My book" how do you even know what book FD is using other then imposing your own idea's on what that might be?
Anything you do online, is a form of communication, your avatar's your actions, anything.
If you feel it is not, do explain how it is not?
Because repeatedly going around and killing people IS something that is happening, the only distinction away from that is that it is against a specific group of players, then one single player. Namely the new and the easy targets, which like going after any specific group of people most definitely can count towards harassment.
Yes the game allows you mechanically to do an action, that does not mean it cannot become harassment.
For example you are allowed to walk around and people watch all you like, heck you are even allowed to say most anything you want to people up to a point.
But even keeping within those lines, you have harassment and stalking, both of which are punished even though they are composed of actions that are on their own not something you will get in trouble for.
And exactly like that, when you specifically go after targets you find easy, be it explorers or people with low experience, the attacker is choosing these actions to go after a specific group. Yes, the actions on their own are just fine to do, but when put into context of what they actually archive, which is hurting the Elite playerbase for no other reason then personal gain, then yeah it can most definitely qualify as harassment, and that has nothing to do with 'my book' or anything like that, that is an objective view on the comparison of the action.
And using the "but they can go other modes" changes absolutely nothing, that would mean, the attacker is forcing the other players to do something to avoid a repeated negative action, again put in other contexts in real life and it would qualify as harassment.
"You can't go to this train station because these thugs will mug you, but you are free to go to any other train station"
Yes, most people would go to the other train station, but that does not mean the thugs aren't harassing or doing worse to people.
And the whole "This is just a game"
So you have a garden, and someone decides to vandalise it ruining the time and effort you have put into it.
"but it is just a garden, you can plant it again, and maybe put fencing around this time, yeah I might just bring something to bypass that fence, but that's your fault for not making a wall, that i might bring a jackhammer to, but that's your fault for not making a ....(repeat with whatever is bigger and needed to defend from that e.t.c.)"
Again it doesn't change the actions of what is being done by the person ruining the garden.
These are the exact same repeated things said over and over in defence of people deliberately out to simply disrupt the game for others.

Brush up on your George Orwell. It makes perfect sense.
Anarchism is very different from authoritarian regimes.
I mean in regards to his analysis of language and how you can say one thing while meaning something totally different.
Basically, Shinrarta is ‘High Security’ unless you know better. One of the things you learn being a Pilots Federation member is that a lot of the rules don’t apply to you.
Gloriously amoral.
PF is just a set of gameplay mechanics with some fluff description around it. I only answer to it as far as my play is determined by the mechanics. It does nothing to motivate me to play any one way or another.
Zarek is an actual CMDR whose videos crack me up, so I decided to go kill explorers when he requested so.
I really wish people in this thread would stop claiming PF is an actual thing besides game mechanics and imagination. If you want to pretend it's fine but stop acting as if your game of pretend is somehow more valid than my game of pretend.
