You missed the opportunity to go: "I pity the fool who rides my carrier!"I think the lesson is don’t hitch a ride on someone else’s carrier unless you know the owner personally or you’re prepared for any eventuality (i.e own a fuel scoop).
Every time I see a post that reads “I parked on a random carrier and had a 2 week break, now I’m stuck 5000ly away from the bubble...” I can’t help but laugh and think
“What did you think was going to happen?”
I feel sorry (not really) for anyone that decides to park on my FC as my mood often changes with the wind and I might jump 10 times in one day from Witch Head to Bubble to Guardian sites or I might sit in the same system for a week while I’m doing whatever I’m interested in at the time.
I’ve never taken my FC much further than the Thargoid infested nebulas outside the Bubble but according to my stats it’s done 30,000+ly so far.
I wonder how many stowaways I might have stranded in that time?

They could always self destruct and ride home in their escape coffin.

The lesson to be aware of here old bean is that carrier owners are complete and utter Bast#*:", what what
Never trust a carrier owner.
They really should be showing such informative movies at schools, what what?
Please fine Cmdr, can we try not to involve any and all American car manufacturers in this conversation, what what?
Bad form old bean, just bad form.
I once saw an elderly but still somehow running Jaguar with a bumper sticker saying: "The parts falling off of this car are of the finest English workmanship."
I approved of that message.

A commie?
If you open your mind too much, your brain will fall out. Tim Minchin told me that, and he's never wrong about anything.
Is that Tim incredibly nice but dim?
You still sound like a red threat old bean, what what?
Been electioneering much these days?
Tatty bye
OK - I don't know your definition of 'a good person' but personally, I think the bad people on this planet outweigh the good by at least 1000 : 1...
Sure, a whole bunch of people like to think they are 'good' in that they haven't robbed or murdered anyone today... But that is a very subjective thing!
Just my personal opinion!
The Hull Seals and Fuel Rats are saying otherwise, but go on and keep denying it.
why so salty? no, i don't believe it, i've not seen any believable account in this thread, nor any fuel rats or hull seal making any statement or bringing any evidence.
make no mistake, i am well aware that very stupid people exist and that this can happen. even twice. that it is a thing in general and that it actually works as an exploitation method is a different issue ...
I want to play along but am unsure exactly what in the hell you're talking about? I guess I don't see any connection between annoyance at demonstrably-wrong conspiracy theories and communism.
Here's the Tim Minchin skit from which I borrowed the "your brain will fall out" line. Watch it for yourself and let me know if you think he's "dim".
Car washes lost me at paying for what rain will do free of charge.
Nice, now we have black labour and working slaves not only in real life but even in a game
They weren't going to stay in their cans forever.
I have my doubts on the exploitation story. It sounds kinda far fetched, for someone to go along with all that it would take to make it happen. I just wish we could attack carriers, and do damage to them, so if a bad FC cmdr did do something bad to people, a group of 'good' cmdrs could get involved and deal with the pirate overlord.
In sticking with the theme mentioned above, it would be kind of like the American west in the 1800's. Posse forms to chase down the bank robbers hiding out in the desert, or at least that is how the western movies where made. That could be a fun mission type.

That would be completely exploitable by gankers on a grand scale and lead to swarms of players deliberately attacking FCs for fun.
And that brand of mob mentality and vigilante justice also led to events like the Salem Witch Trials in which dozens of innocent people were put to death on the basis of someone spreading rumours about them.
