Gank Evasion Academy

To the folks out there perhaps unfamiliar with this part of the discussion, posts like these...




...in light of an OP like this...



...are what we gankers like to call gank fuel.

In any case, ignore the poor sports. Open can be a lot of fun. If it's something you want to do more often, what's on offer is a great way to get some learnin'!

Above is an example of the 'Posturing' I mentioned. It just becomes background noise.

Did you read the OP?

It's not posturing, buddy. It's irritation that Elite's most ardent anti-PvP anti-Open folks just can't even be arsed to do the basic things you do on a forum before taking dumps in inappropriate places and then expecting people to respect them for it.

Just go away if you have nothing constructive to add.

Your Dude wasn't addressing you. Help all you can, but some people mock virtue signalling...

Just sayin'.
In what way am I virtue signaling? Im a dirty rotten ganker and proud of it. Im just offering to teach players how to survive against us in open. It doesn't mean I've quit ganking, just offering genuine help to those that want it. Is AXI not a group of experienced players helping out less experienced players? Cause thats all I'm trying to do. There is literally no posturing or virtue signaling going on here. Whatever you think you're seeing here, you're just making up in your head. Even with your attitude, Id be more than happy to help you as well if you wanted it.

Mmkay....
 
Probably the wrong thread but you all know me hehe. Can't shut up!
I'm what I would term a goody pvper. I would benefit enormously from being shown some of the more subtle mechanics that PvP entail. Although its wholly out of my rp thing to be taught by those I plan to hunt hehehehe.
The hostile attitude towards gankers is cos being ganked is horrible if your in a type 9 with a couple of lasers 500 ton of Ltd and no hope wotsoever of surviving.
This deserves it's own thread lol.
All sir ganksalot is trying to do is impart his knowledge to those who would perhaps later one day either be his wingman or....hehe...pursuing him with x7 sick PA's on a vette and that 250 mill bounty I mentioned elsewhere.
Best he polish his rear mirrors. Cos I know there's nothing more he would get a kick out of than being hunted by his dogoodystatesponsored murderer who he knows ain't some wuss non combatant. Oh man that content alone would make this game sheer perfection
 
I’m big fan of pvp., but when I need to trade or engineer stuff I go PG or solo. No intention to evade school boys camping near Felicity. Just an unfortunate time loss, dealing with pvp’ers, who need to gang up to be worth something. Frontier, in their wisdom gave me PG. Good luck with your academy.

I appreciate it.
 
Sounds cool! I haven't had much PvP experience with the game, but hoping to one day be able to hold my ground in case I went to gank gankers. :)

Could use some interdiction training, maybe we could even shoot at eachother if we get bored!
 
/Un-lurks.....

Opens eyes as cryogenic ice melts away.....

Ahhhh, the game is still here, now with added mobile landing pads. Oh God! Where are my legs, muh leeegggssssss.

I'm thinking of returning to play in the near future after a long break and a bit of refresher training might be handy. This is a good idea. Might see you soon.
 
Most of the time I prefer to fly ships that also can do something, other than just combat or escaping. That seems a bit of a one-dimensional philosophy... and a pretty obvious one on top of it. Do you think I'm daft?

I mean, if you put a type-7 and a python togeyher for comparison, you'll find that although the type-7 has more internal slots, it's also clumsier and has less shield, more often putting itself in danger, while the python performs a better all-rounder easier to escape danger, and can complete almost all tasks you can do in a type-7.

Just in case you haven't noticed yet, I was not talking about how you build your ship because it's all your choises and skills, but referring to balance between ships built by FDev. No offense to anyone.

Hard to liken 'fish in a barrel' to 'CMDRs in Open' when Open, just like any other mode, covers the entire Milky Way.

Yet people still manage to get ganked in open.

I understand people are frustrated at the low player count in open, but there are better games for being toxic in. Like Rust or maybe Roblox.

Who's the one being toxic here?
Who's frustrated by the low player count in open? There's tons of players in open, far more than any other mode.
This seems to be another fabrication to fit a particular narrative.
