Code action against CoR

[Arvel Yael]

No. I'm not threatening you.
I made an observation. You made an mistake and I guess other commenters will use this mistake to try to extract more salt from you.

If you mean that today's participating in ED and its community has led to a net decrease in my cheerfulness, I'd be inclined to agree.

You are right. Enjoy playing the game the way you want to play it.

I try . It's just irksome when people suggest that the way I like to play is an abomination that should be banned .

I'm now back to my normal cheerful self. Just about .

I'm still laughing at them. Good luck with that stellar 25% influence in your home system. Maybe you should get on that?

Hang on though - is this another instance where a player group states that they don't care about their home system, and have no interest in the BGS?

I thought the whole point of the blockade was that they were trying to maintain/increase their faction's control in a system or something.

Then why are they wasting time trying to pirate players?

I think a better question would be, why are they wasting time messing with the BGS?
If they're a bunch of pirates (organised or otherwise), why would they care what factions are in power?

Or are they trying to reduce the system to Anarchy so they can do their thing without police involvement?

I can't answer any of those, I'm afraid.

Incorrect, the blockade was put in place in response to aggression by CoR on a friendly player group to Code. None of it had to do with BGS.

However, after an overall lack of CoR ships to fight in Open Play, the Code has pulled its vessels out of HR 6421 to refocus our efforts back on piracy at the new CG.

Ah, I stand corrected.

You really wrote that?

I like the new non-PR.

It's certainly better than the other stuff .

 

[GluttonyFang]

You joke, but Gluttony Fang's proposed draft of our "constitution" was 7 pages long consisting of 7 articles. Thanks but no thanks.

To clarify, that's for the group's operation as a whole when we had an issue with Anopheles' position as Captain, not the "code" used to guide piracy within the organization.

Whatever happened to Mr Mosquito Guy? Not seen him around for ages.

It's part of the reason I resigned, I think The Code as an entity wants to be more straight forward with certain views some members of leadership hold. Obviously I disagree with parts of it hence why my resignation, but hopefully as a result The Code will have better development with minimal impact on players that wish to be left alone with its renewed focus.

Haven't see Anopheles recently at all, might be just bad timing on my part.

What's a game without challenge? If your only goal is to grind up credits as quickly as possible without risk, the Open universe might be a little too Dangerous for that. We'll be in Open for the challenge of hunting traders, who trade in Open for the challenge of evading us.

Depends. There are some good games out there that are zero challenge, and rely on other elements to entertain. I get plenty of challenge and risk from the NPCs, so don't need players for additional challenge (but there again, i don't fly a 8000Mj Vette not have any desire to). I also don't grind credits as quickly as possible. Took me a year to get to the point where I could afford an Anaconda hull.

There are plenty of other things to do in game than grind for credits and plenty of risks if you want to take them. It doesn't require players to do that.

I sometimes wonder how this community would have looked like if ED had been released as a single player game. There would have been none of this rubbish about it requiring players to provide a challenge for a start.

If this game had released as a single player game. It would had to have been an entirely different game or it would have died just as fast as No Mans Sky.

Just remember. FDEV's punishment for anyone found cheating or breaking their TOS, is not to delete their account. It is to force them to play in Solo... *shudders*

Just saying.....

 

[Powderpanic]

actually, an excellent example, though misunderstood.

this is more akin to robbing a store where every item has anti theft tags on them, which break open with blue liquid if you force them open. A thief isn't going to force the clerk to deactivate each one, they gotta run and find someone with the deactivator so they can unlock them in safety.

those canisters are going to have way more complex identification on them than that. Everything is tagged and labelled and will be flagged the moment you try to sell it.

"this canister of diamonds was registered to a T9 transport, Mr Asp... how did you get it?"

"uh.... found it?"

"and that T9 reported being under attack by an asp before losing communications."

"uhh... coincidence?"

as pirates you SHOULD be forced to sell illicit goods on the black market, not sell them straight back on the open market. Seriously you're using a mechanic not intended for piracy to justify your laziness and still call yourself pirates? How is that piratelike?

At the the very least you should be forced to go somewhere to reidentify your cargo so it becomes clean and then resell it on the open market.

however that said I'm not that bothered because gameplay mechanics for pirates currently suck and aren't profitable anyway. But you can bet I think that the stolen vs abandoned element is something that should figure in to any piracy revamp that happens in the future

However in this wonderful strawman.

Being a professional Gangsta and keeping it straight up Compton. I walk into the store to steal all the gold chains I can carry, knowing each one has an anti theft device on it.
I say to the visibly terrified staff member "If you activate the Anti-Theft, I will shoot you in the face. Word?"

Then I would roll out like a baller to my caddy, drinking gin and juice!

Detroit What!

Yeah, 'cause having a game where multi-player is an option and being forced into single-player mode is totally the same as a game that was only ever single-player from the start. Totally.

He says: "Word", you roll out, he activates, you roll into a warehouse to sell 'yo goods' and that's the end of your professional gangsta career.

Then you meet your charming cellmate Bubba who has a lot of inches of love for you, and the both of you live happily ever after.

What what, in the ...

Not quite. Some people choose to play in Solo and are perfectly happy with it. For many players, even in open or PG they are effectively playing solo most of the time anyway.

Shadowbans as far as i know are more than sticking them in solo. They are stuck in a place where they can't affect the BGS either.
