Listen to yourself.
It's a game...remember? Zoom, zoom! A video game about made up space ships in a made up galaxy.
Step away. Get some air.
That is exactly what we were debating Jockey and the fact you are now involved in a frantic game of move the goalposts speaks volumes.
Take your own advice, and I won't be able to abuse your arguments.
Your kind of sad...and scary. Consider this the end of communication.
Happily. (That should be You are, or You're. My kind of sad doesn't really fit into the insult you intend.)

Ah, I see, you're one of those who wishes elite wasn't an mmo. Shame you don't see the potential elite has for proper epic pve multiplayer content, something that most space game players have been clamoring for since the first x wing. I can't wait until pve is fleshed out a bit in elite with group activities that reward group skill and coordination, and I will continue to clamor for it at every opportunity, in my opinion it should be the devs highest priority,epic quest chains with stories and fleet actions, fleets of players and npc mixed as well. Ah, I have a dream.
Extremely entertaining.... Especially watching a self proclaimed super high moral compass individual proceed to attack other people in the thread and insinuate insults. That's quite the epitome of hypocrisy.
Of course best of all is the hiding behind the Ignore list feature thinking that just wins the argument. ROFL. Someone sure needs his big boy pants.
Jockey... I commend you on your efforts. There are unfortunately those that just will find the smallest nitpick regardless of how well you phrase something when their viewpoint is different then yours.
Theodrid....while I don't agree with some of your views, I can respect them. Same for you Ziggy.
I've already stated that it is"unintended".
But then again do you think they designed it for;
-People to mode hop to avoid long docking queues at CG stations? (Docking Computers will queue you up, not tell you to log out and back in)
-To suddenly log out because of a hollow scanner box appeared, just in case it's a pirate/killer?
-Player killers to spend an hour ganking new players in Evarate then swap modes to hide from bounty hunters? (when DBOBE talked so enthusiastically about players hunting griefers and killing them)
And plenty more examples of times folks log out and back in which were not intended features - but came about due to P2P.
The mode switching was advertised as "session by session".... the only thing to quibble over is, how long is a session?
For some, play time is 100x 2-minute sessions followed by 1x 90-minute session. For others 1x 180-minute session and so on.
Now if you want to look at the morality of it, then I find it awful that this is allowed to carry on - but hey, that's me.
Thanks, it is fun linking cold hard facts and definitions then watching people try to wriggle their way out of something they said or tried to prove and failed because they got the meanings wrong and won't admit it.
Though, did I miss something? Who put someone on an ignore list?
I feel like I've missed out on something now
Man, I would really love that too.

It was me, you know when you just get a vibe from someone that you know you don't wanna deal with them? I can be cutting at times, but I never hold grudges, I mean look how she's still going on (I could only see it cos you quoted it).
I think you might like a thread I'm planning on making soon.

You haven't proved anything or any definition wrong Jockey if you are referring to me, I'm not the sharpest tool in the box but if there's one thing I know it is language, you can pretend all you like that the words advantage and advantageous aren't linked and in many cases/structures are interchangeable. You can pretend all you want that exploits don't exist if they only benefit you, you can try to maintain the position that one unintended use of game mechanics is an exploit while another is not but clearly that is a ludicrous position to try and hold and I'm surprised you are persisting.
Commanders. This was never meant to turn into (another) acrimonious thread here with so much venom.
Relax, play the game, enjoy yourselves. Unless forum PvP is your thing of course.

Forum PVP is definitely my thing buddy, I mean what would you have me do, talk to the missus and kids? - you animal!

Clearly not, as you have to keep omitting words to force a word to fit your definition.
Even when presented with the words and their meanings you still cling to your ad-hoc definition.
again;
2 different words with 2 different meanings.
advantageous = creating favourable circumstances that increase the chances of success
advantage = a condition or circumstance that puts one in a favourable or superior position
One is an absolute, the other is improving a chance.
You were saying you know the language, yet fail to understand the basic differences of 2 words, even when it is put in front of you.
Who said it benefits me? That is a massive assumption.
The job boards are inconsequential to me and my play style. Frontier could remove them and I'd not even notice.
Yeah, didn't mean you specifically Jockey, should have clarified that bit.
Onto your 'definitions' yet again, Jockey, if you increase your chances of success you are putting yourself in a favourable or superior position, if you put yourself in a favourable or superior position you are increasing your chances of success.
Whilst they are obviously different words they have sometimes the same and/or sometimes similar meanings, they are also interchangeable to mean virtually identical things, examples :-
'It was advantageous for the football team to play at home'
'The football team had an advantage because they were playing at home'
Either can and can't be an absolute, depending on context, they both depict 'an advantage' - nothing more, nothing less, you can still lose from an advantageous position just as you can lose when you have the 'home' advantage. They are of the same family Jockey, I have many more examples like this if you insist but I'd rather not spam the thread with them.

That definition of advantageous is not correct. Sounds more like the definition of cheating or 'taking' advantage, doesn't it? Here's a good definition for advantageous.
