Code Interdicting at Diso..

[Wolfzx12r]

Some of our members prefer to keep to the history of piracy and stay true to it, others want to see innovation and act accordingly. That is member discretion, therefore not something I can comment on personally.

We have a complaint forum for any victim that feels wrongly abused, and surprisingly it has almost no threads, I wonder why.

We expect our members to act with integrity according to the empirical code, and will sternly check that integrity in accordance with every report/complaint filed via either PM and on our forum. However, the ratio between people accusing random and actual reports is about 9001:1.

Therefore, to answer your question, that depends on our members' personal discretion.

So we are going to have to put the Parlay scenario to the test and take our chances lol
To make this work and as most old world "true" pirate Captains where infamous and well know to all sea going traders, I am sure you will have a ranking system within you group you should at least have a Captain's list on your front page of the web site so at least trades can relate to in a Parlay situation, knowing who a cmdr is going to Parlay with and the treatment that that cmdr is going to receive from any particular Captain.


You as a group should at least make any interdiction interesting to a trading cmdr instead of just either getting rapped of their cargo or blown out of the stars. How you deal with a wanted bounty hunting cmdr is of course is just blow them up lol.

And players that rely on conspiracy theories and make their text intentionally hard to read should be hung with a rope from the yardarms.

See what I'm doing here?

Or you can do so instead of us? Ever thought of that? See what I did there?

You are free to express your concerns and your opinion is valid, but if you wish to convey it in such manner, I will respond accord to it.

Is CODE still active? Haven't seen many of them last weeks and we often go to the Lave-Cluster to share a cookie with them.

A little unfair tbh, I bet 90% of players don't even know you have such an "infamous" pirating group and would not know you even have a web site to form a complaint in the first place, until a cmdr get's done over half a dozen times and comes on here to see what is going on with such a bad ass pirating collective. It's not something you advertise just before you blow them up.

The other Problem is, many "victims" rather like to cry in a public forum and they hope, everyone will assist them.

And as the game is called Elite Dangers who happen to have a web site to hold discussions about the game I'm sure this will be any players first port of call before looking for some pirating collectives web page.

You never know this page might even spawn a group against pirating

Maybe you're right. ;-)

 

[GluttonyFang]

Alright. I understood the definitions, just wasn't sure if that was what you were trying to convey - that your code (money or rebuy) is an ongoing method of gathering empirical data. It does keep me in solo, so if that's the statistic you're after, there it is.

I do have a personal opinion about it all, but I don't think it'd be helpful.

Thank you for the information.

Thank you for telling us how to make our job more fun, we'll consider it. I do not know to what extent this will affect the group, though.

Certain information is confidential, we would like to see that people respect confidentiality.

We are preparing for the arrival of 1.3, we are quite busy else where, unfortunately and temporarily.

We will take that into consideration, perhaps making it a part of the marco so that people can see where they want to complain.

However we believe it is somewhat out of character to namedrop a complaint desk in piracy, therefore I believe this would be another member discretion option.

Cry for attention, very typical.

Because no one uses forum search function to find that this specific topic has been discussed to death.

We would love to seen another competent player group that puts up actual resistance, since individualism runs rampant these days, it is time to call in some associations and educate people how to associate.

@Gluttony

Oh, I see, you missed us, too? Acutally, we do our "Business" with some others. But I'm sure, our clans will meet again.
But unfortunately, we are pirates, too and have no eager to destroy you. Just some of your ships.

I apologize, but I do not recall what faction you belong to. If you wish to reveal your aligning, you may PM me or post here publicly.

Thank you.

No problem, I'm lazy with my profile. RoA - Ronin of Amarak.

Ah, then yes, we are indeed not on the friendliest terms.

Unless we have a major, planned skirmish (we current do not to my knowledge) that we wish to publicize, we probably cannot provide any information to the public, unfortunately. We will provide footage, most likely.

LOL, I think you're great GluttonyFang, nice to see you keep going in the face of all this stuff. I must admit if I had more time to play I would love to join you guys, if it wasn't for the CODE this game wouldnt be half as fun.

 

[Vasious]

I have found Code ships to be a pleasant addition to the Rare run in the Lave Cluster.
If they win the interdiction they get their prize and are good about it as they win more often than I do

 

[Snakebite]

They declared themselves the moral majority for the system and are intercepting anyone trying to do the Community Goal there. If you want to avoid them, just switch over to Group or Solo.

This is exactly why Elite is so broken as a multiplayer game. By allowing players to simply sidestep into solo mod at the first sign of trouble or to avoid any bit of gameplay that they do not like or find a difficult, has reduced the multiplayer roleplay element of the game to a farce....

Fd should have been smart enough to realize that most people will take the easy route out of any situation, even if it ruins there own and everyone elses experience.

The Code have taken on the role of Piratical Galactic scumbags and are doing a pretty good job of trying to bring so life and exitement into what is often a pretty barren game, why do so many people think this is a bad thing, IMO we need more people playing like Code just to spice it up a bit. If you want to avoid them then it should be acheived by in-game means, sticking to secure corporate systems etc, and not though artificial 'swap to solo mode' tactics....

 

[Snakebite]

The Code are horrible and untrustworthy. They are a cancer that must be stopped.
...and I for one am glad that they, and groups like them, exist in the game. They add character to the game. They provide conflict. They can really, really ruin your day. But in the end you came here to this forum and shared the experience you had with this one "bad apple". One thousand interdictions by NPCs aren't noteworthy at all. Once encounter with another player in the game and it is worthy of remembering and telling people about it.
Here's my advice: ENJOY being angry with Code. Make it part of your game. They're now the enemy and when the time comes to give them a black eye... be ready!

I agree 100% with this, but as I said previously, whilst they can be so easily avoided by using the solo mode exploit then their activity became a bit of a farce, and there is little point saying that well if you want to take part then you can or if you don't then you have the coice of avoiding them because so many of us will choose to avoid them simple because it it human nature to get out of a situation in any way we can, it would actually enhance the experience if you couldn't get out of it.

I've even heard people complaining about the non-consensual element, well thats the whole point of piracy, it is non-consensual pirates won't stop and ask nicely if you mind them 'interacting' with you, and neither should they be expected to. As i've said before if you want to avoid pirates then stick to safe systems.

Being able to enter an Anarchy system, and avoid the danger by doing so in solo mode is just one of the craziest consequences of being able to mod swap at will.
