How to avoid Gankers.

[Bob Lighthouse]

Half the fun is collecting all the salt here in the forums, so I’ll carry on.

Right, so you are way worse than the gankers.

At least they can play the game well, and kill your ship at will.
That annoys you so bad that you want them to suffer out of game.
Not playing with them is simply not enough for you.
You do you, that said.

But the lack of self awareness is REALLY funny.

LOL

In a couple of months I plan on running out to Colonia to clear it of rats.
I hope to get some others involved in this effort - they got a lot of rats out that way.

It's the new Eravate or so it seems. Not so late when ganking starter system was a thing, some guys here happily obliged that kind of sport.

FDev is getting there, slowly. Pvp is still aborted, but keeping posting about it being poopoo may get some result for 2020.

What you call 'grind' is actually the game.
The Engineers, the Guardians, the flying about collecting data, the occasional pirate.... that is the game.

If a large part of the game is 'grind' to you then you've selected the wrong game.

If you want PvP without additional game involved you should look at Battlefield 5 or any other number of FPS that have minimal character development and no story beyond the blurb on the back of the CD case. This isn't me being rude - this is me encouraging people who find 99% of a particular title to be a grind to go find a game that gets them to their happy place in less time.

Don't spend weeks getting to your happy place.
Buy a game that gets you there the moment you hit 'Start'.

Elite is a space sim, with a decent fly model and awful MMORPG mechanics. If you're here for the grind, it's the worst aspect of the game you're coming to get.

“Suffer”, eh? snort
You poor dears...

None of that changes the fact that if a person finds 99% of a game to be a grind that perhaps that person should seek out a different title.
One man's grind is another man's game.

That's essentially what salt means.
That was your stated goal.

you want them to suffer

That doesn't mean they actually suffer, and I didn't self identify as being in that group either, lol...

I would be genuinely sorry you find playing the game so traumatic that you lash out at other players in such a manner, but the lack of self awareness it more funny than the former is sad!

 

[Phisto Sobanii]

Damn I could block people in Colonia too. And I just got access to Shinrarta.

A vapid, pointless response is what I expected.

Colonia is the new Eravate? Are you really this dense?

The projection is strong around here, isn't it?

It's basically right next door to LHS 3447. Lots of newbies in Colonia.

 

[Wargfoot]

I think in the sense of "lots of rats that need to be murdered".
If you think of it that way, it kind of makes sense.

 

[Bigmaec]

Great. You insulted Phisto's used ship sales lot.
Now many noobs in Colonia will suffer.

All zero of them.

Yes and it's funny that's what passes for moral high ground for some folks!

Brings to mind athletes who do all sorts of smack talk in public, then get dunked on/KTFOd etc when in competition.

If they really had the high ground, then you'd be better off if you don't try it, Anakin.

Thats the recurring joke since we're there

 

[Wargfoot]

All zero of them.

Okay, that means that... by definition... if I make it out to Colonia I'm no longer a noob!

Careful Wargfoot, some of these rats are dangerous!

I'm basically a noob and trust me, it's just a boredom test. Once you're there, you're as soulless and dead as people who've been playing for years.

 

[Wargfoot]

I'm all kinds of patient:
