ganking

So I was farming for Occupied Escape Pods for hours, despite the numerous shield-less transport ships, I just couldn't find any. What I did find was a bounty for 128M Cr. This lead me to notice that as I raised my bounty, the security state of the system I was farming in was also raised. My...

Posting an idea from another thread as a suggestion. If 'Report crimes against you' is enabled and ship attacked by a player, let all other players with no notoriety located in the same system (if any) receive a distress beacon location and distress message, including name of the hostile ship...

Disclaimer: I usually play in Solo and have never blocked anyone, so my understanding of the process is limited. But I get that some people want to play in Open for the "camaraderie" or whatever, without necessarily volunteering to get blown up by gankers at CG's for the lulz (while others...

The Elite community is small enough as it is (compared to other big titles out there), and I think it's a shame that rather than adjust game mechanics to adjust risk/reward of being in open, Fdev instead provides ways to divide the community (solo, private groups, etc) who likely would rather a...

"Space a dangerous place" is a falsehood. 99.99% of the galaxy alone is made of neutral star systems, only waiting to be visited, without danger lurking. The remaining 0.01%, however, is Human Space. And Human Space can be a very dangerous place. Greetings, CMDRs. I am CMDR Sari Sari, explorer...

I've been playing ED for over 2 years now and I've only just learned about something I didn't know: The existence of the Advanced Tactical Response (ATR) unit. Probably because I'm a model citizen, I'm much more likely to get authority protection than authority attention. Gets me thinking...

I chew off way more than I can handle when I challenge a PvP meta ship in Deciat, which quickly turns into a epic confrontation as CMDR Blaesthekerbal decides to fight back! Sorry for the cursing, it got hectic and hats off to Blaesthekerbal for putting up an amazing fight! :)...

And I'm not talking about Elite Dangerous. Well, I am, but the title is inspired by griefers in Overwatch, a team-based PvP game with no friendly fire. I've grown sick of trying to place in competitive matches, only to have "team" mates throw the match. Last night was just another example of...

Elite should keep tabs on number of players blocking and reporting a given player, and treat that as "bad karma score" (with reporting resulting in more bad karma than blocking). Instancing code should consider the score when dividing players to instances, and tend to throw ones with heaps bad...

Notorious CMDRs (esp. ones murdering other players) should be marked on the galaxy map. Any time they dock at a non-anarchy system, get scanned, or interdict or attack a ship (unless it has report crimes off), marker appears or has its location updated. Hovering over the icon would show CMDR...

I know this has been said a thousand times before and I know I'm going to attract controversy for saying it but if I don't say it, how will Frontier know it's something I and likely many other people invested in the background sim would like. Gathering feedback in my gaming community for why...

There seems to be some debate on how much of the new C&P system is a response to player "griefing", but I think there may be a better way to "cure" this problem that's logical, easy to implement, PvP-friendly, and brings meaning to system security state. Disable FSD Interdictors in HiSec...

Hi, I have an idea which might prove interesting for anti ganking. FDev could create a new module which fits into a utility slot. The module would create a 'cloaking' field around a ship of a particular size depending on the ship in question; small medium or large. It would present the ship...
