Killstealing newbies...

Was having serious hotas issues. Had to keep unplugging and replugging the throttle USB... but yeah, that would have been better.

If someone is kill stealing and won't wing up, or back off I move on elsewhere.
If that's not possible, I simply won't save them if they get in trouble.
Or I'll kill them if they become wanted, which I sometimes force upon them using my SLF, if they're really annoying me.
Newbies are excused, but I generally don't fight along side them these days, and the ones that I do fight with, are generally well behaved, or wing up.

Just something to remember when talking about kill stealing:
For you it's perfectly clear that someone is trying to steal your kills because he always attacks your targets. But everytime I am in a RES I jump from target to target without paying much attention about anything but a Wanted status. Most of the time the Authorities already take them down to 15% so I try to land some shots quickly. I am definetely not a kill stealer (I play Solo most of the time and when I am in Open I try to wing up with everyone) but I can see how this happens easily to someone not paying much attention without any bad intentions. What looks like kill stealing to you could just be someone playing the game without realising that you are claiming to be the "owner" of these kills...

The "newbs" who made me ask this question beforehand didn't leave it at stealing my kills tho...
And btw, if you take down at least 70-80% of the target's hull it IS your kill, you own it, you earned it. And this is basically one of the reasons how you get sent to the rebuy screen in open. One reason more to learn to pay attention. In open, You need to pay attention. Not gonna start a solo vs open discussion, but solo makes you learn a lot of wrong stuff if you happen to fly around in open from time to time.
Yes, sorry, I wasn't talking about you... It was just a general comment about kill stealing.
Wing invite, you change location, or murder them.
Murder them? And this come from a Fuel Rat? Is the end neigh? Are we all doomed yet?
