I was in the Eranin actually heading to the planet Eranin 2, Get into super cruse and get half way there and get stopped. I get a voice comm message...Judgment time! No ship scan no nothing just start firing on me and I had no cargo so I'm like [redacted] man? Not one but two of them. This is getting quite annoying now since this is the second time this has happened in my sidewinder today in the same system. So word of advice rats, If you're going to pirate then do a ship scan, Don't be a and just fire on people all stupid like. Clearly there's a difference between griefing and pirating and this is just plain griefing. I won't be logging back on if this keeps up.

Can't you put them on your ignore list so you don't meet them again, or has that not been implemented yet. If it has these guys will quickly be finding themselves playing against other ats who like the griefing ganking kind of play.

Only NPCs are able to interdict and communicate right now. Also check out this post: http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showpost.php?p=147803&postcount=138
Playing the bad guy role will be supported which includes more than just pirating.

Um...those are NPCs doing an interdiction, not other players.

Put your energy into engines/shields and boost away from them. You'll outrun them long before they take out your shields. Jump back into supercruise as soon as the drive will let you and get back on with your day.

Not sure if this thread is mild sarcasm or not, anyway....

With NPC interdictions (no PC interdictions possible currently) you just point yourself the opposite way, 4 pips and boost away, and super cruise out.

They currently never catch you, ever, not even close.

Ok well I just assumed it was another player because I heard people started using voice commands. Ok well damn NPC's anyhow.

You do realise that was an NPC right? ZOMG!:eek::S:rolleyes:

Have to say this is just pure comedy gold.

Having only just got game three days ago not yet played but one thing we did in EVE with griefers in 0.0 is to sit a nice fat juicy frieghter loaded to gills ( as we stated "accidently" in local an 3 recons 100k out.

when griefers showed up.... we had recon light off while an arazu shut them down an a recon drianed allthere energy.After that, dropped 20 panthers on them (covert battleships).

then we went after all their high sec friends an killed em till they quit

Best way to stop griefers is to turn their gametime into shear unadulterated missery.
They will stop.

Oh, so because it was an NPC it was alright? I think this whole thread so far sums up all the 'I was griefed' claims in a nutshell.:rolleyes:

Confusing. PCs cannot interdict (pull you out of supercruise). But neither PCs nor NPCs can use voicecomms yet, bar using a third party solution.

You 'heard' a voice, or did you 'see' texts on the left hand pane?

Do the NPCs now speak?

The only way players can be "griefed", as things currently stand, is if they let it happen.

Many possibilities exist to avoid troublesome or irritating players, or get out of tricky situations.

Indeed, the very concept is null within a Beta release environment.

Hi, NPC were always able to communicate in this way. However it puts a whole griefieng problem in a new perspective, lol.

It's fascinating, isn't it?


If we think attackers are human, we get cross enough to post angry messages online.

If we think attackers are programmed "content filler", we're fine with being blown up by them time and time again.


To me, this says human gamer psyches have been conditioned by experience into having two completely different emotional responses to the exact same sequence of in-game events... the only difference being whether we THINK that the architect behind the sequence of events is another human gamer.

If it is, we react as we would if we were attacked in the street.

If it isn't, we react like it's a puzzle for us to solve.


Perhaps we need to blur those lines a bit. Perhaps E:D is where we get to try it out en masse. :cool:
