sadly I get a little bit the feeling that, however many samplers are doing their business, they have very little regard for how they take away gameplay from others. The usual replies are "but it is valid gameplay", "we are using the tools Frontier gave us", "but it is effective", and "but we're winning". That's all very valid, but, once again, those who get stuff taken away (invasions and the planetary and stationary CZs they bring with them) are expected to understand and deal with it, because they have no tool at their disposal to counter it. I have gotten very salty replies about how I am being detrimental to and belittling the hard work the strategists of the war do when I questioned the tissue sampling strategy; and while that is true, it is hard work and the people analyzing the war have done some brilliant work, the "wanting to win" faction is doing it at the expense of those who want to fight the far, and does not really care. Sadly Frontier decided to allow the war to be won by tissue sampling.
Yes, I am actually very salty about this by now. This is very lame, and while from a lore perspective it is right to want to "win the war" by any means (even if sampling the enemy away is outright silly and makes no sense), it just sucks. I am afraid if you ask the samplers to lay off a bit, all you will get is either be ignored, or one of the replies I cited above.
I kind of hoped Frontier would throw a wrench in at some point... but that does not seem to happen. And it's going on for so long now, if tissue sampling gets nerfed now, the outcry will probably be... too enormous for them to want to deal with it.
#NerfTissueSampling. There. I said it. You had your fun, now let us have ours.
) on way back to FC in SC - AXMC's do nothing (well, negligible damage) to human pirates so had to SC out - lucky to get back to FC only to find ............... my entire hold of pods were stolen!
