Been a long time since I felt I earned something in game

[Greyhawk]

Just got my Asp. Been playing just short of a month now. About 75% of my earnings has been through exploration. The only other time I felt I had earned the reward was when I got my mythical weapon in Everquest 2 before it became a simple task.

So now I'll have fun upgrading her then I will join the pilgrimage to Sag A*. I feel its a rite of passage for ED players to get there. I really think ED should put a station there or make it a community goal. Just make it a pirate free zone, no commodity market. Just a repair, refuel and cartography offload point. Players only, no npcs.

Someone would bring a combat ship.

It may sound like a good idea but it would not be. Imagine how many CMDR's would head out there just to destroy the work of explorers? I guarantee you all it would take is 4 or 5 cmdrs deciding to troll the area picking off defenseless explorers for you to realize how bad of an idea it would be to have a station out there. Especially one that you could refuel and repair at. They would troll for weeks. Bad Bad idea.

I think there is plenty of ripe targets in the core systems for pirates and scumbags to go at without them lowering themselves to the absolute depths of going after explorers.. i mean come on now, where is the challenge ? none.. just that you get your name muddied so damn black with hitting a ship that has likely stripped all weaponry in favour of just trekking out to take pictures n vids of the largest black hole there is to see.

That's really a sad thing but I guess you are right. Its really sad that the expectation not the exception is people will go out there to destroy explorers who have no bounty or cargo to offer just so they can cause as much pain as possible with no rewards.

I just built this Clipper for fun: http://www.edshipyard.com/#/L=603,5TP5TP5Rr5Rr01Q0-I0-I0-I,2-8SA07_8S8S8S6k,7Um0PA4_w9tQ0KU0KU7e87e8
It should be able to reach Sag. A* and kill helpless explorers with ease. A fight with another armed explorer is possible, an armed Anaconda should maybe be avoided though. Could be improved if I knew what the minimum jumprange required is.

The main problem that can't hardly be solved without a magic prohibition is that "griefers" or however you would call such players for yourself could respawn there if a station existed. So they'll remain there and interdict everything they see, ram people at stations or kill them outside of no fire zone.

Someone found an Earth-like world just a few light years from SAG A*. I think there should be a community goal to fund and build a small repair facility there. "The Restaurant at the Center of the Galaxy" or something.
