Potato router and cut his WLAN cable?
Griefers make open impossible, and how easy the solution is.
- Thread starter NisseNeutron
- Start date
All of my ships are there, and I am constantly building/reconfiguring ships to try something out, so I am loath to move to another station/system. Just lazy I guess.
But every time I poke my head into open when leaving or coming home, the place is nuts with other cmdrs. One of these days I'm going to forget and try launching my long-range puddle jumper (phantom) in open and get blown to bits before I can leave the station. LOL...
I’ve said this before and not everyone (well most) thought it wasn’t great.... but the solution to griefing is to get rid of the hollow box for players, this would slow down the targeting and give most skilled commanders the extra few seconds needed to avoid interdiction (but still give a sporting chance for the griefers).. Having a hollow box on the scanner is just like a giant target.
I see plenty of CMDRs, but only very few outlaws.
Still, easy enough to avoid, unless you absolutely must dock at Jamerson Memorial.
No it wouldn't.
You'd be jumping in to a system blind, essentially. Not being able to target backwards means you don't know what ship is following you until you're interdicted.
Meanwhile, the outlaws are sitting by the star, scanning anything that looks and acts like a CMDR, completely hidden amongst the NPC's.
I did that last night, for the first time. Sat by the star watching ships jump in, scanning them, but my intended target never arrived. You're right though that would give even more advantage to ambushers - I felt safe and well hidden knowing how hard it can be to spot hollow squares right after you jump in with that big burning ball obscuring almost everything behind you.

Cut his WLAN cable... Please tell me it's irony.
Of course they are; they're bullies who are/were probably bullied at school and now wish to deal it out to others. They're pathetic.
Do you even know any gankers?
Perfect! That's exactly what was going through my head while running away late Thursday night. I got ganked, proper ganked - it was fantastic. They caught me unawares, casually Netflixing a moderate CZ in support of my adopted faction, under fire from all four Special Ops, then boom! Wing drops in, joins the opposite faction, and then it's 7 vs 1. Their PMF wasn't part of the conflict, our faction is a minimal threat to anyone, but I do not in any way consider their decision to join in against me as griefing, intending to ruin my day, or whatever.
Yes, Deciat gankers are a different thing, but that's a well known danger zone, much like SD and CGs.
I think I learned this yesterday. I hadn't even cooled down yet when they interdicted me. Cool trick.
You probably should’ve waited until you understood what I wrote before you responded to it.
Hmmmm.…. griefing seems to be quite a common occurece for me lately. Maybe I'll just switch to so-

If people just switched to solo I'd be fine with it, I play mainly in solo myself.
Having to come on here and announce it with varying degrees of drama though? Nah. That's what takes it over the line. Fine, if you don't want PVP just play in a non-PVP mode and get on with it. Nobody cares.
What Red said.
Play how you want. Just don't trash those who play differently than you. Moral judgement and assumptions about total strangers are not only a waste of time, but say far more about the person making them than the people they so lamely attempt to denigrate.
Huh did you send me a Friend invite on PC recently? Didn't recognise the name (then) so rejected it. Assumed it was one of those chancers trying to pin one's location down to grief ;p
But accepting/rejecting random invites is one of those "git gud" aspects newbies don't realise too. I do agree that there's things even Solo players should be doing: as even the NPCs can potentially blow up a shieldless piñata-ship.
For me it's giving new players the chance to git gud, which is why seal-clubbing in the starter systems is so much worse than a harmless void-opal conda. The latter has had some chance to learn mechanics, even if they've chosen not to.
Like I was kinda astounded on Distant Worlds the number of cmdrs who'd never landed on a high-G planet, and blew up at that first pink-moon waypoint, when we'd been saying on the PS4 thread weeks beforehand to practice some 3-6G landings in the bubble before start.
While "git gud" is oft used as a justification for wildly unbalanced "PvP", telling someone to learn the basics is a fair comment. It's all about context.
Yes, I sent you a friend invite after meeting you in Colonia.
Generally I don't reply with a simple "git gud", but in case of the posts I quoted, I made a exception, because I felt offended.
