Don't ask FDev to fix it!!

This is a rare opportunity for emergent gameplay. Get out there and fix it then work out who's going to fly as an escort to it's final destination?

We don't need a gameplay event involving a Memorial about somebody dying IRL. REALLY NOT.
 
Whether people want to admit it or not, THERE IS a segment of the ED community that are the human equivalent of SLIME MOLD. This is just another unfortunate example of them doing what they do 24/7.

If Frontier had a Perma-Ban policy for obvious sociopathic behavior, we wouldn't be here right now.

I seriously doubt that any of the slime who UA Bombed this eventual memorial station would be missed by anyone.

I should report this post for being insulting to slime mold... but I won't.

I think we are all fully aware of how to revive a UA Bombed Station.

The larger point, and the more distressing aspect is that we actually have people who would organize to do something like this within our community. That diminishes all of us, and I find it troubling as well as disgusting.

They may be using a normally acceptable gameplay mechanic, but in this case, in a disturbingly inappropriate way.

If this kind of thing is considered acceptable, then how about lifting the language filters on the forum? Let it all hang out!

UA bombing is never accidental, it's always coordinated. The people who did this knew exactly what they were doing. Get better at trolling.

See the FDev response.

Even if it were I fail to see why it even matters. FDev places a fully playable asset in game and it got played.

All this faux rage and gnashing of teeth won't get the situation resolved. Go fix it. If SDC or whoever can coordinate a UA bombing then I am sure there are many here who can do what is necessary to get it back operational again.

Once more I'll state that IMO this is the memorial: playing the game. Offence is not intended but other opinions surely are.

I am not trolling.

There is no doubt that it's a "legitimate game mechanic". Changes nothing tho.

I say let's use this as an occasion to make some clarity about who we want to be part of the community (our friendly trolls) and who should be rather laughed out of it at every possible occasion.
 
Threads like this are a double edged sword. While it serves as a rally point for those wanting it to help, it also serves as a rallying point for those who want to do it for the lulz and attention seeking it brings.
 
Wouldn't the correct amount of cargo need to be delivered to Colonia by Thursday the latest? How many MA's does it take to reverse the effects?

I see Smiling Dog Clueless are out in full effect today..

As I understand, and keep in mind that my info might be old and incorrect, ticks for artefact interference lockdowns happen on Wednesdays. So next Wednesday (I think) we should learn if Dove's Enigma is fully shut down or not. I and a couple people reversed a lockdown recently and it reversed after we delivered somewhere around 400-500 tons. No telling how much was delivered before we got involved though. That one was a full-fledged lockdown though and not a potential lockdown. So to anyone wishing to assist, don't be afraid to use your Anacondas and Cutters, too much is not enough.

It can also be used to make a list of those vile excuses for human beings who feel it's appropriate to UA bomb something like this so that they can be perma-banned.

That's a pretty callous response from FD. They might as well have said, "Oh well, emergent content happens. We sincerely hope the dude doesn't die before he gets to Colonia because some of our players chose to slow him down on purpose for the incredibly vile lolz. Good luck all!"
 
As a matter of fact, it's useful to see those who are already crawling out of their trollcaves and use this occasion to defend it or to find it amusing. A good occasion for the community to weed them out.

Very likely involved in the action and trying to defend the indefensible.
