I don't necessarily have an issue with people taking on this role at CGs. It certainly adds to the peril and fun of getting the commodities through. However it needs to be done in the spirit of the game. The antagonists needs to present themselves as some sort of role play to fit with what is going on at the CG and then they need to converse with other pilots in a manner that isn't offensive. The positive that I see from this individual is that he broadcasts his intentions which is great. There is nothing worse than a mystery plane coming out of the sun killing you dead and never saying a word, that just makes no sense in this situation. As for negatives, this guy seems hell bent on offending people verbally and using bad language which is certainly not in the spirit of the game. He isn't english is seems so there may be forgiveness needed as he may not completely understand that how he is dealing with things is in poor taste.

In summary:
I actually think that antagonists at CGs makes the game more interesting. Makes support teams for the trade ship viable and increases the peril and adrenelin which in turn makes people work as a team, can only be good. But there needs to be some basic rules of engagement such as communicating with targets to offer explanation of intent/terms and support this with non offensive language over coms. Those things given I like the idea of CG antagony.

I believe that he does understand what bad language is. When I did a local broadcast, explaining why I had reported him, the response, although not offensive, indicated that he knew what I had done and why.

I certainly do not object to Players having a difference of opinion as to whether a CG should happen or not. I even do not have a problem with other Players trying to use tactics (such as 'suicide ramming') to try and dissuade me from working on a CG (that does not work on me, as I have 4 pips to SYS, and travel at around 85, so the only consequence is an exploding 'suicide rammer'). I do object to people using questionable language, especially where it is possible younger Players may well be involved (my two godsons play, and they are both under 15 years old).

Sadly Beta and the much-more-important Operation Yard Work and 'Honey-Do' List community goal have prevented me from participating as fully as I would have liked. I'm going to try and make a few more hauls before the timer runs out. Doesn't look like it will be hitting the final tier. Hopefully Frontier have an alternate jump destination on-hand if Jaque doens't get enough fuel to reach Beagle.

Considering that this CG was timed alongside the release of Beta 2.1 and the huge number of potential contributors that pulled away ... reaching tier 5 is still quite an achievement.

That would be hilarious. Imagine having 10 million credits waiting for you ... all you have to do is fly to Beagle Point to collect. :)

Crazy ! Did Jaques plan not to pay all along ? Stay tuned for the next episode of... :D

Please remember CGs automatically pay out after a set number of weeks, so your money isn't going anywhere...

I was able to get paid. But I was in the station just as the CG ended and left shortly after.

I'm scared to start the game up. My Clipper is not ready for extended travel. Cargo hauling, yes. Backtracking to the bubble...no...just no.

I believe I heard the Old Guy isn't taking hitchhikers. When he does jump, he'll just kick your ships out the nearest airlock.

This morning, my Rattaconda was still parked nice and cosy in it's nest in Jaques. Got even served an extra cooled Hydrogen Special (with a little paper umbrella). But that last bit might only be due to a loss of 6 million after payout due to a griefer, maybe Jaques got a share there.
Oh and I even could buy some pocket distilleries as well.
