LFT 37 warning - disreputable Commanders at large

Just a word of warning at LFT 37.

There's a couple of CMDRs (one in Python, one in FDL, I think) just pulling people out of SC and opening fire.

I opened comms to say "hi", but got blown up before I could react.

No demands, nothing.
 
yup these types happen, anyone that actively tries to get behind you, just drop out and high wake to another location, and if trading search for an alternative trading route there is almost 100% chance to find one that is similar profit.
 
They are causing their own doom. The more people they harrass for no reason whatsoever, the more people leave open and head to Mobius.
Yup, yet that kind of players usually defend their play 'style' with being pirates or RPing 'evil' people? which doesn't really make sense but yeah.

Luckily I was on the less profitable return leg, but it still galls to have to pay out for an insurance claim.

Just a public service announcement: If you leave Open Play because you don't like interacting with other players in any form, it's no loss to the people who stay and enjoy Open play because you might as well have been an NPC.

Not any form...just the griefers/gankers form. By the way, I play in open. :)

You do realize...you're rewarding this type of behavior every time you post about it. Which means there will be more of this type of behavior for sure as a direct result of you posting about it. ^_^

Not really. The fountain of newbs flows everlastingly. =D

Also, its not harassment. It's part of the game. If NPCs have the right to randomly interdict and shoot at me, then I have the same moral right to do the same to other people. It just happens that people are actually more COMPETENT than ordinary NPCs at the tast of blowing you out of the sky. :)

Its better to "reward" by warning others and possibly having bounty hunters read this and want to kill them....then not. ^_^
Yeah, nice reward.

Which is fine by me ... I was just wanting to warn peopleto be on the look out.
 
Classic...so now the victim is responsible for others being victimized? No. It's much simpler. It's caused by people acting like jerks on the Internet.

No, I am telling the victim that this is not the right way to deal with these types. Trust me, I TALK to these types of people all the time (many of them on my friends list). They thrive on infamy, and they absolutely love when their shenanigans get posts like this. It's like a score board for these people.

The only way for these people to stop doing what they are doing is to:

A) get a group of CMDRs to interdict and blow them out of the sky wherever they may be found and
B) NOT WHINE about it on the forums.

Its high time a vigilante group version of the fuel rats came together and made themselves known, where all you have to do is join into the IRC, type in "Batsignal" or "Justice League", and you will end up notifying 25 different CMDRs of possible "evil person" activity.
 
OP, I thank you for posting.

If the system was not so far away from me, (283.67 Ly Away) i may just have popped over in my Vulture to have a go at them.

Except that such players tend to ignore NPCs (no challenge apparently) and only attack players for the so-called PvP challenge. Fewer players in open is a loss to such types as it results in fewer targets for their version of fun.

Which is fine, by then they'll have had their share of fun. Nothing lasts forever, not even the tears of self proclaimed white knights calling others idiots for playing the game the right way.
