FDEV put this change in the game because of people playing it within the rules? Sure, you may find it distasteful, but citation needed.
Nope, I was speaking about myself and a bunch of other people who aren't fooled by the "Making the game better stance" of some players (delivery content type). In the end, having fun at the depends of others is quite entertaining, I must confess.

Folks - please calm down, have a cup of tea and think about the needless damage being caused to keyboards by the thrashing they are getting.

Let's cut out the sniping. If you're interested, the game is back up and running now.
 
I did some testing, too! The change doesn't seem as bad as originally predicted but is still a very, very bad one. Considering FDEV's track record on fixing very bad, broken things (like, I don't know, the heat meta?) using sensationalism to get attention to the matter is a solid plan. Besides, everyone is just playing a game. There's probably a few folks at FDEV having a good natured laugh.

And you know what? They should. One truism in Elite is that if you want anyone to take you seriously one of the best moves to make is stack a bunch of destroyed ships at their door. Remember where I first learned that? :)
 
My thoughts exactly. I typically have gankers surround my vette like flies during the FSD spinup phase. Shields up or down. 10 or 12 seconds to jump. Doesnt matter with all that armor and 3 MRP. I'm waving bye bye with or without boost.

no you will not and i tell you why. you will get hit not only with drag but also with force shell.
then your vette will not be able to head to jump star. without boost you will not be able to align your ship. then you see the rebuy screen.

i'll report back when I have some experience with this. We still have a lot of jaw flapping over something nobody has tried yet.
 
Well that's what happen when you antagonize other people just for the fun of it. Consequences, you know?

Know what I do for kicks nowadays? I antagonize back! Packed a cheap FAS with just enough stuff for an escape
and an Interdictor. I find the biggest ganker with his two buddies and gank him. I'll fire off a few shots, to show them who's boss, and then split.

Nothing more fun than wasting more of their stupid time and living to tell about it!
Plus it distracts them from causing trouble for others in those few precious moments.

If I don't succeed, who cares? Milions in the bank and a new FAS at the next screen.

I never knew PVP could be so much fun. :D

Blaze away..

Good good.
Soon you won't be satisfied by mere trolling and you'll taste first blood, you will want to make them suffer... And then your path to the dark side will be complete... ;)

Been there, done that, but it's too much work. The most satisfying one was when Mr.Elite was sent spinning helplessly into self destruction with me floating behind him enjoying the pop.

Troll Play FTW! This game is awesome.
 
Get off your high horse. This is no way of treating the devs. Voicing your concern is a valid thing, and I even agree. But this thing goes way too far. Sadly this happened in the past too, and FD have been way too lenient. Instead of waging a war, try talking with them. And they're well adviced to listen.

Try talking with them? They removed player feedback in the form of beta testing and literally announced a change that will upend pvp combat the DAY BEFORE making it live.

Yes, and escalating like this will help things how ? You're just driving them deeper into their bunker. This damn circle has to be broken.

Considering I haven't tested it yet (In a matter of hours before I do so) and I fly a Gunship, I feel that most of my builds if not all are just rendered useless. I mean it was bad enough with emissive seekers and plasma ramming but this. This takes the cake.

It will be interesting to see for sure.
 
Because evidence has shown that the best way to get their attention is a pile of complaints from non-PvP players getting ganked. If that’s how they want players to communicate, that’s what we’ll do.

Please, keep going and people might finally have an Open PVE mode. The new starter systems might only be a first step.
 
LOL
You are clueless.
I have it on my OC Pacifiers, which are superior to double shot as it happens.
It's an experimental effect Cmdr, not a direct mod.

Well, that was one way of being impolite over a simple mistake. You could have said "Perhaps you are confusing modification with experimental effect?"

To which i could have replied "Yes, my bad. Perhaps i should have said Oversized"

And then i could have repped you for the correction, and you could have repped me for admitting my mistake.

But as it is, no rep for you.

I just got the message that servers are going down in a few minutes, FYI.
