A Nice Little Story

Yesterday, I 'bumped' into an old adversary.

We had met in space twice before. Once when I was bounty hunting in an asteroid belt and he decided to take me out whilst I was attacking a pirate. I marked his name.

Then about a week later as I was supercruising I noticed him, and successfully managed to interdict him, heart beating as we tussled. He messaged me, 'That was a mistake' and the fight began.

He promptly handed me my behind on a plate but kindly left my hull at 4%. Again he messaged me 'I won't be so forgiving next time - leave and go for repairs'. I had learned my lesson and he had spared me.

Yesterday we met again for the third time. I was leaving Sorbago, Henke Terminal, a human Python was hovering over the dock doors scanning ships as they left. I got scanned and the message came, "Have you seen Blue Falcon about?". "No", I replied, "Is he around?". "Yes, so be careful, he's attacking players in this sector". Hmmm he was toying with me. "Thanks", I replied. Then this came over the comms, "You are safe this time". My heart skipped and I tried to remain calm as I jumped to another system, checking the radar for anyone following me. I felt like I had been let off too. He is a far superior pilot and clearly into his role.

This is why I love Elite - I'll be back later for him when the time is ready - but for now I am very much his junior.

Yes, once only people who play the game the way it should be played remain, (And I am positive on it - that trolls and griefers WILL tire of this pretty quickly) the game will be that awesome. :)
It already is in RP groups.

Hmm so we aren't supposed to blaze our own trail, but play in the ways you approve of? Noted

Hahah. Well. Murdering newbies near stations - I can't say it's "Blazing own trail". It's just plain mean. :p

I was talking about roleplaying. Once only people loving the game for what it is remain, you will meet pirates, bounty hunters, traders, marines and cops just like you would expect.
That's what I meant.
I love this game and I am blazing my own trail, with a little backstory and goals one should have.

And that's what Elite is about. That's what OP experienced and it's wonderful.

Looking forward to meeting those bullies once wing mechanics come in place.
Once we interdict them, my first message to them will be: Hello, it's me, Karma!

This is why we need more social tools, the greatest experiences come from social interactions in games. Because people are awesome.
