No, you didn't say that. And yeah, it's obviously garbage. It was your use of "doesn't really care about the game" that I was trying to respond to. I'll admit, I'm a little fired up right now with a few of the folks in this thread and I think they deserve the fire they're getting from me and others. My apologies if it came your way and should not have!
This game is special and has the potential to be awesome. If you are here laughing at folks pushing for the Drag Munition change to be reversed? It's pretty clear you're not friendly to the game, full stop.
A pond? Luxury!

There's a free upgrade? Does it bring back the ADS system map?
Forum drama is always free
Having tested the new drag effects with some friends, I am prepared to rate them as "irritating but not game-breaking".
Perhaps more that certain gankers exaggerate how much ganking the gankers do. I also don't confuse gankers with PvPers as a whole, and to my mind, gankers are the worst type of PvPers since they are not out for a challenge, they are just out for easy kills. They might as well be playing a single player game with hacks for all the challenge that gives.
Not likely by me. I'm driving around Kumay for the next month or so
Anyone who can watch Rinzler's videos and not gain usefull knowledge from them and also have a wry smile is more than a bit odd I have to say.
Folk get their knickers in way too much of a twist over "gankers" - they must be terrified to walk past any of "the boy wizard" shops in case someone called Harry shouts Boo at them

You have the gankers to thank for this.
They're always claiming to be spokes persons for PvP and always claim that any criticism towards them is criticism towards PvP. And then they play the PvP victim card.
They're nice chaps though
Why do you take issue with content specialists offering advice on their specialty but have no criticism of game developers who don't play their own game (which is evident when changes like this happen without feedback from actual players)?
Where do I take issue with content specialists offering advice on their specialty? I was very explicit and specific in my criticism and none of it was about content specialists offering advice on their specialty.
And if you claim I have no criticism towards the developers of this game, you are assuming.

I want what's best for the game. It is my favorite game of all time. I spend more of my free time playing ED than anything else. If this drag effect change turns out to be detrimental to gameplay then of course I support rolling it back. PERIOD (gg)
Hey, if i'm being impolite i expect to be called out for it.
As for how i responded to Rinzler's git gud guide to trading, well, it was a while ago, so would have to go look at the comments that i made back then to see if i was in any way impolite to Rinzler. I don't recall being impolite to him though, i've always tried to manitain good relations with him and had many a good chat with him, even if i deplore some of the things he does in game. I recall i was skeptical about how staged it was and how realistic it would be in a live scenario, especially when you might not be 1 vs 1 but facing serial interdictions from a wing of gankers.
Even if i was impolite, it in no way invalidates this comment, that it behooves us all to be polite when pointing out mistakes or posting in general, and avoid getting personal. Yes, we sometimes fail, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to be better forumites.
You can with a bigger ship that is just as fast or faster.
I love my Clipper trade ship.
"The rumour was right.... oh, he's gone."
I can understand the motivation for this (some kind of action), but isn't that the point? I pvp (badly, but I do), THAT's why I understand it. Your victims are unlikely to appreciate the finer points of boosting FA off combat, and will likely simply come on the forum to complain about ganking, or worse, accuse you of just using this as an excuse to wreak havoc, rather than find solidarity in defeat.
Where are you planning on doing this? Just out of curiosity?
Long time no chat, hope you've been well
I can't speak for ryan. He may genuinely feel it's a way to draw attention to broken mechanics, although operation Healies4Feelies hints it will have limited success. But he very clearly does genuinely want to improve the PvP mechanics.
Me, I have no such hopes and feel PvP will only degrade further. I do this stuff because I feel the game is empty of engaging content aside from the random nonsense that can happen with other people, and best played for lulz. Screwing around with nonsense engineering can be lulzy.
And of course for the sake of the Overlord, the only compelling plot in the game. Z0.
This is what makes me simultaneously love and hate the game so much. Very few have combined such highs with such lows for me :-/ The overall impression is of wasted time and potential, and scattered moments of beauty in gameplay and raw fun.

Unloads a barrage and makes target go boom
"Simply awful..."

That i actually said the git gud guide was propoganda?
Dude, i use the phrase git gud in forum posts as well, although usually sardonically.
The git gud guide to trading is pretty decent, as well as several others of Rinzler's guides. The guides are not what i'm referring to.
The propangda is the self-aggrandizing threads and post certain members make, talking about how many n00bs and carebears they have killed. The ones where they seem to be trying to outdo each other with the scale of their slaughter of easy targets.
Its not something i personally would brag about, or even really want to admit to doing. Its not like some sort of achievement killing easy targets. Its all a bit pitiful. For all their cries about combat loggers cheating, the challenge they get is like they are running cheats in a single player game and laughing about how easy everything is.
Then what were you referring to? Spell it out.
