How DANGEROUS is ELITE ?

[Maeko]

I selected 0. I have been interdicted by a player once, however he was just a bounty hunter looking for claims. He scanned me and saw I was clean, let me go.

When I was still using Type 6 for trading got once interdicted by a Harmless Python CMDR.

Boosted past him and made it outside his firing range before he even collapsed my shields.

 

[sfajardo]

2-3 times, after that I switched to solo, since then 0 XD

Trammel in Ultima Online had more danger than Elite

You need to add another option in this poll.

My ship blows up for no reason.

 

[Moriarte]

0. I did attack myself few times to make the game more dangerous.

Could have been me. I'd let you go in you were clean.

0 times, and I like to keep it at that so it's solo only until FD comes up with a way that I can't be forced into pvp against my will if I choose to play open.

So it is ok for you to be interdicted and attacked by NPCs, but not by other players?
Don't you think this is some kind of discriminating?

Only difference is a hollow blip and a chance to negotiate.

Just lost my ship to another player in a Conflict Zone, serves me right, I'll be more alert next time!

Wow as of right now, looks like the majority never got attacked/interdicted by player. Me neither, although i did interdict some commanders in Beta just to say hi i was a bit bored no one talked back to me, but then again, text chat was a lot worse back then as it was only one colour + many did not know how to respond.

0. Which is only about 10 less than NPCs.

Be warry, from my experience some commanders rather take me down with him by ramming so i always put a bit distance and be ready to evade

 

[StevoIRL]

The only time iv been interdicted is when I decided I wanted to be interdicted. As an experiment I didn't touch the controls and let an interdiction happen, safe to say even with minimum input you could avoid most interdictions.

 

[scrufferpops]

woops I put 10+ not realising it was attacked by REAL players. Its actually zero.

 

[Snakebite]

Please tell me where you are hanging your helmet, I would love the chance to be attacked by players.

What systems are you in ? I can't find any pirates anywhere where I am, so I'll come along and watch your tail for a bit if you like

 

[SpySat1]

Once in an Anarchy System after asking another pilot for help. I thought I was losing the fight till I realized they were still shooting at me non stop when I was out of range...

I thought to myself, "They know even less than I do!"

That realization gave me the courage to turn my boat around with guns a'blazing... Boom! space dust!
Me, 1
Player CMDR Ne'er-Do-Wells, 0!

Yes. Being attacked by an NPC is interesting and fun. Being attacked by a player is purely frustrating.

And it has nothing to do with difficulty. I simply abhor any kind of non-consensual PvP, and will never again open myself to it. When I want PvP (a very common occurrence) I go play some PvP-only game where everyone is there only for the fight.
