Be careful when popping off Noobies

[Dr. Dave Bowman]

I was sat outside one of the starter bases for new players and a few easgles kept dropping in and taking pop shots at the new players, needless to say after a few bursts of a beam laser they got the hint and jumped away, they came back again a short while later, still "wanted" lets just say you never know who is watching, pouncing on new players stuck waiting to dock on a platform is hardly sport and not one of them was wanted. Give them a break, personally the next ones i see doing it i wont just drop their shields down to zero to frighten em off ill pop their asses instead. There are quite a few players around the areas the new players are spawning keeping an eye on things, so dont be surprised if ya get hit if you try seal clubbing.

Nice, have some rep for that

Open season on "noob poppers". No mercy for their cowardly butts.

 

[EddyRockSteady]

Good Man.

If I wasn't sat near Achernar at present I'd lend my Plasma Accelerator to help the cause in persuading them to lay off.......

 

[ChubbyBunneh]

Blow up their drives with a couple well placed shots and leave them to drift around the station and watch newbies dock all day.

 

[bttlsgtmajor]

Sounds tasty, but I think I'm a bit far from the start at this point in time... +rep though for helpin' em out.

 

[GJ51]

Sounds like fun. Let me know if you need help whacking the baby seal hunters...

Memory is a marvellous thing, and revenge is a dish best served cold. They wont always be newbies will get better and be looking out for the person that shot at them when they first tried to dock.

On behalf of us new kids bouncing off the stations, thank you OP.

+1

 

[Steve50]

Good post, I agree.

 

[thewzdoc]

Agreed, I'll start patrolling too...Even if you only have a 300CR bounty I'm taking you out for this crap.

Did the same thing myself, watched a player gank the same sidwinder twice. i happended to have a tooled up cobra so smahed him to dust, waited for him to reapear and did the same again. I Got a massive fine the second time but it felt soooo good.

Ooor, switch to solo

Very glad that some of the community is keeping watch over the newb areas. I'll be moving along out of the Federation soon, but I appreciate the vigilance. So, thanks for being a nice human being on the internet.

What a genuinely nice attitude to have toward "newbie" protection.

A nice point of difference hopefully that will spread through the community!

 

[MrGambler]

I personally can't see how people get kicks from popping of new players to the game, it's cheap sport that can ruin someones beginning experience on this game.

 

[krysohmyz]

Oh if I see someone picking on newbies, I will let my Dropship explain to them what it means to be bullied. >:|

 

[Sav112]

Self policing is great!

Seen it in other games like Dayz when Bandits are simply killing fresh spawns with no kit and no threat only to hunted down themselves by more experienced players.

At some point I too will be one of those newbies and I hope decent players like yourself are the norm.

 

[AH_ImADot]

I'm a noob...you can try to "pop me off"...you will get a helluva fight.

 

[krysohmyz]

Don't worry. Animals like that are always individuals.
On one hand the galaxy is so big that it is really a bad luck to run into one. On the other hand it is not uncommon, but don't let them drive you off.
