Yes I know what you are thinking. "Here we go again" but no this is a serious question for griefers in the game when things don’t work out for them. Normally I don’t mind them cause they make the world exciting for pve players like me. But this one particular I don’t respect
Now, I’m not gonna name what system or name of the player, but I am gonna tell my story and I will call the griefer Mr. X
So yesterday I had a funny encounter with a griefer "Mr. X".
Im no PVP player so I can’t say I’m the toughest in a fight. But I have always played open only, so I have learned the hard way what kind of people you can encounter. Which in the end have given me experience on what to do in various situations. I do combat against NPC, and missions, so I guess I’m what you call a PVE kind of guy.
Anyway, yesterday I was just minding my own business flying around in the system Looking for a good spot to mine, when suddenly a cobra MK4 appears behind. I throttle down and sure enough a few seconds later Mr. X interdict me... And I’m thinking oh boy.
For the record my Krait Mk2 was a mining hybrid. I’m carrying one seismic charge, and two packhounds and two large torpedoes and fighter on board my ship for self protection. Plus I’m running without shields for stealth and superior speed for quick escapes...
Anyway I was interdicted. So I checked my attackers loadout. All frag cannons. And I’m thinking this can’t be good, cause my armor is thin. And sure as the sky is blue he opens up on me without scan or text. So my mind tells me, Well this dude is only trying help me back to the rebuy screen. And I’m not gonna let him. So I quickly boost away knowing he can’t keep up with my speed. Plus I need to get at least 2 km away from his hurting frag cannons. I launch my fighter and deploy hardpoints and start flight assist turn in order to get lock on. Now he was being very persistent on killing me so before I get lock on he gets within short range where my missiles have zero effect. They need to arm so I can’t point blank fire. Except if used dumb fire missiles which I didn’t have.
So I try to get some distance. This time I get 3.5 km away and lock on, so I start firing and the missiles connect. His shields goes down thx to my fighter and my missiles gets him down to 70% give or take. Anyway he was being smart enough to understand he couldn’t win this one so he high tails out of there, but before he did. He send me this
"Stop running from a Cobra Mk4 LOL"
Not only did he have the audacity to attack unprovoked but now he had to lecture me about what to do, in order to survive.
it annoyed me a bit, and I must admit i was perhaps giving it too much thought and being small about it. But I still text him, which I know was a stupid and silly thing. Cause there is no point in arguing with another player who thinks he knows best in everything.
"But I basically asked, why he was so focused on telling me what to do, when he was being the aggressor and attacked me unprovoked, so why should I bend over?
his reply was "easy to let your fighter do your job" Well in to my defense my fighter gave me the distraction and time to get a clear log on and then hurt him the most. Plus with my loadout I couldn’t go close quarters with him. I didn’t have the weapons plus my armor would melt from his frags. So I did what I had to.
I asked him if he even checked my loadout before nuking me, which to no surprise he didn’t, cause he only wanted to kill me in cold blood from that attack apparently. Anyway he didn’t give any valid arguments, but he did get his team mate to text me in order to provoke and mess with me. But To be honest I think that made him look even weaker...
Anyway I’m not trying to be pity but I do wanna ask griefers this question.
You fly around like cold killers in space. You attack unprovoked any form for innocent ship. You don’t care if they are armed or not. You just start nuking.
Now I don’t have a problem with that cause like I said I play open, always have. And you make the Elite universe more exciting and dangerous. It makes the blood pump. Especially for a pve guy like me. So I’m good with that. I understand the risks.
WHAT I DON’T UNDERSTAND is why you give me a attitude and a lecture on how to play the game when suddenly your little dirty trick doesn’t payout well for you? I’m not telling you not to grief. Do what you want. It is your game and you can play like you want... Ergo I play like I want by only doing pve, and mostly peaceful stuff. Yet you wanna tell me how bad I am?
LOL! I’m no PvP player, I mind my own business, but did you really expect me to either sit still and die, or take the coward way out and Combat log? No Ofc not. My ships are not generic PvP builds copied from the web. No my builds are personalized custom builds to multirole and survive most situations. Ergo Fast escape or hit and run tactics. I’m not gonna bend over. I’m gonna do whatever to survive attacks. So far it has worked 90% of the Times against players. But I’m the bad player apparently, cause you thought I would be an easy kill ticket. But you made the big mistake of thinking I would be a defenseless pve player without a backup plan? So who was actually the smart one this round. Your dirty trick didn’t pay off against my casual build. I had a backup plan for an encounter such as this. Though my ship was paper thin and mining build, I still had thought out for a situation such as this. Speed and long range weapons and fighter.
So you griefers can say what you want. I know how you operate, cause your builds and fly style is so easy to predict! Ergo all my ships are build for escape plans or hit and run. And it works like a charm 9 out 10...
So let us make this clear. You don’t like Combat loggers. No one does. But don’t you dare to tell me what to do when suddenly you encounter pve players who actually have a backup plan, and things don’t go the way you wanted... You play dirty. Then why on earth should I give you any advantages. I anticipated your move and checked your loadout. You gave no thought to who you attacked and thought I would bend over and die. Well who was the smart pilot this time?
Happy weekend pilots and fly safe o7
