40m/s higher boost speed void any option to mass-lock, FSD disrupt or whatever. The Clipper just flies long enough in a straight line and eventually it can jump freely. It'd need some kind of "prevent target boost and FSD" device for that. And this very device would be the ultimate tool for any pirate. And thus we are back full circle: this thread is not at all about allowing bounty hunters to pose a threat to pirates. It is about playing into the hands of the pirates under the disguise of the opposite.
Well yes, piracy and bounty hunting are very similar in their execution, so any change to one will most likely affect the other. But you seem to be operating along the assumption that piracy is a bad thing and therefore that we can't help bounty hunters because it would help pirates. The thing is, if well done, changes to piracy can make it better for both the pirate and the prey. As has already been said, giving pirates more options beside just shooting the target can only benefit both.
As you don't have evidence to support this opinion I would suggest you don't present it as if it is a fact.
Thank you.
Careful going that route Kerrash. The reason people complain about FD not doing anything about combat logging and cheating is that, by their own admission, and quite similarly to what a lot of other game devs are doing really, FD don't want to publicly shame the players caught cheating or give any info about what they're doing to their accounts, neither do they (understandably) want to disclose what steps they're taking to shield the game from cheating attempts.
By its very nature, this secretive method is open to the kind of criticism Majinwa levelled against it. FD do not want to present evidence regarding their anti-cheating policy, and therefore you can't expect people to assume that they are doing anything or at least doing enough. The only way we'll know that they are doing something is when we start to notice less cheating going on.
You believe FD when they say they're taking cheating seriously and that's good for you, but don't expect everyone else to reverse the burden of proof just based on their faith.
