A couple of CMDR pirates jumped me in Leesti earlier, one after the other - first time I've seen them around since release. I was quite surprised.
Though probably not as surprised as they were.
CMDR <Redacted>, what a persistent enemy you are

Challenge, accepted.
Thats a bold statement Commander.
Friend request sent.
Look forward to crossing your path.
Yeah, I agree. Shouldn't be called out. Now that you have been, I'll be watching for you. Oh, I have an ASP too
I think there's a difference between "calling out" and posts complimenting a cmdr on his gameplay and obvious skill. You'll note that every post where the cmdr was named included the posters enjoying the encounter, even if it didn't go their way. In cmdr Redan's position I would be quite proud of the reputation I was gaining and work hard to polish my skills so I could keep it. However, even though I'm flying an asp myself I know my limits and that's never likely to happen.
Oh boy. Getting more famous by the minute.
@Bektop 3apemob; Fun times and good fights, but as I told you in game, my shield cells were not depleted. Nor were my bullets. I just stopped playing your "catch me if you can" gig
@Ben Ryder; Logging out while you're about to die is cowardly and is an exploit of game mechanics. I reported you after you did it, so I would recommend you don't keep doing it, lest the reports stack higher and action be taken.
@Everyone else; Ladies and gents...You are not prepared.

I was in Leesti about 90 mins ago. lots of CMDRS I had to queue to get into George.
As I left a USS popped up with a dangerous anaconda. It ripped my canopy off but left me with a 160.000 bounty and my 100th valid kill.
I docked with 2 mins of air left
I sat still in the real world to calm down
fantastic stuff I'm hooked again

I'm prepared, just in a different way. Come and get me you 'big bully' if---- you can find me
Ben I do not approve (well I do a bit) but I can imagine his rage as he complained to teacher it made me smile
By that logic, then everyone who posts for the betterment of the game to the devs is in the same category. Your face must look so pretty after smiling for so long.
A cocky fighter jock. Excellent, you might even put up a decent scrap before running for your life
And if someone doesn't have any cargo? I presume you do scan them to verify?

On a more helpful note, I have 103 kills and am novice. I went to novice at 55 kills can you assist with the rank thresholds? I can not get a clear answer of what I am looking to acheive
MMmmm I love the taste of Asp. Where can I find this upstart?
Of course. Contrary to whatever people may say in this thread, it's not about bullying or seal clubbing or whatever you want to call it. I make a point to never interdict Sidewinders, Eagles or Vipers as they can not carry enough cargo to make it worth my while. As I told CMDR Bektop in chat, I'm not interested in giving a good fight to anyone who is looking for a duel. I'm interested in making credits off your hard work.
I've let people in Type 6s go because they were carrying 104 Fish. Granted, I did call the pilot a horrible person for carrying such worthless cargo, but I didn't open fire. I've interdicted people with no cargo that I allowed to leave unharmed as they were worthless to me. I do occasionally require them to tell me a joke in exchange for free passage...and sometimes if someone is particularly rude I sacrifice them to The void. But never without cause, or warning, or a guaranteed chance of safety if they drop their cargo. Plus, I never ask for more than 25% of the total cargo.
Guidelines, you see?
I'll also address something else that I've seen in this thread: Piracy isn't about beating the crap out of other people. That task falls to the reavers and the grievers of the galaxy, my stance on which can be found here:
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=71650
If you attack a real pirate, he will attack back. If he sees the fight is a stale-mate, as what happened with Bektop and I, or if he sees that losing is inevitable, then a pirate has no problem with running away with a smile on his face.
I actually said this in the chat with Bektop, although I'm not sure it made it in the video. If his advantage is speed and unlimited weapon ammo, then he should use those to his advantage (as he did) and nobody can claim that he's running away, chicken noises or else. But one shouldn't also discard my own advantages, such as being able to go into super cruise at will due to a heavier hull. Pirates are not bound by being forced to fight honorably. We do what makes us happy.

Is rank IE I went to novice at 55 kills some seem to have hundreds and still be mostly harmless
Is it random?
at what number of kills/bounty earned do you go up?
the threads on this I have seen are in disagrrement
