Lost everything because of a random AI Interdiction for an empty cargo hold

Zooooom.....you are going waaaay off topic. I give three thumbs down.

Also rude, obnoxious, and just not cool. Also just laughably incorrect. You should read what you type before pressing "Post".

First of all, i m not the one starting to derail the topic, i merely replied.
Secondly, read what i replied to. Eye for an eye, snarky comment for snarky comment. Sue me.
If you cant handle the heat, dont kindle the fire.

No cargo, but on a cargo run. Completing the run, does that mean returning to the original station where you acquired the contract to collect the reward?

Why would you be so far away, did you choose the sidewinder at Trevithick or wherever it is now? If so, you weren't respawned.. you picked it. You picked it because you didn't have rebuy money. I can see risking that when your whip is stacked but on a defenseless T9?

Also, it took you a week to earn 100m? You need to find a better flying buddy. You should be making that and more in an hour.

Well its taken me 2 weeks to mkake 100MCr, although credits have not been my only driver.
Reset triple Elite twice, over 6000 hours in the game, only play iron man mode in Open gonna tell me I am doing it wrong as well buddy?

For all of 30seconds watching it I managed to suspend my knowledge that:

• Anchors don't work like that. You simply cannot set one in the seabed at flank speed that way.
• Even if they did, it would have parted the chain like a thread.
• If the chain did somehow hold, the flukes on the hook wouldn't.
• And if all of that somehow did work out, Congratulations, Skipper!You've just torn the winches and the Samson post clean out of your ship and you are now the captain of a swiftly-sinking wreck.

But the visuals, they were pretty good even if they were impossible.

I sometimes wonder why I don't question Gypsy Danger wielding a tanker like a club.

The Rule of Cool is deep magic.

I give three thumbs down.

I love this idea, awarding posts thumbs up or down, however, I need to know, three out of a possible how many?

I give 4 thumbs up out of 5 for the good idea but award you 1 out of 5 thumbs down for the execution

My all time favorite movie. So epic. So dumb.

Never again cancelling the apocalypse was soooooo awesome.

If you were here complaining about dying because it took you so long to earn the 100m you used to buy a T9 and not have a rebuy then sure. Since that's not you, what's your problem?

The anchor is made out of the same stuff as our Anaconda.

I'm tempted to watch this Battleship.

But then I'm suddenly filed with desire for Idris Elba.

So you put 100 million credits into your type 9 but had no rebuy LOL

What a worthless comment. Why bash someone for a mistake they made when they're already paying for it?

Yup, probably just as effective as advice!!

Yea this one understands.

OP, the circumstances under which you died in the first place are crazy, and I don't disbelieve that it was a bug/poor design that led to you dying and spawning really far away (unless you got wanted somehow and didn't realize it, then ended up in a penal colony. Honestly that sounds like the most likely scenario.)

I will say that for this exact reason it's a bad idea to fly without being able to cover the rebuy cost. The insurance system is flawed and if you're not careful you could lose an entire ship's worth of money. You'll make the money back before you know it, though.

 

[Klearoflauge]

Why were you even attacked with no cargo? That, in my experience, has never happened. Now, If you were wanted... well then, I guess it was simply justice being served.

 

[Greasetrap42]

A weeks worth of grinding out money in 10 seconds to be stranded 500 light years away from my mission reward, it’s honestly game breaking

Because they decided to make a complaining thread in the forum.

Because they decided to make a complaining thread in the forum.

Yup. The response would've been dramatically different had they posted the desire to git gud.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Sometimes stuff just goes wrong- you gambled hard and lost. Its going to sting but use that loss and build yourself up better.

 

[Wizz15]

OK, when was the last time the Elite playerbase went on a full blown torch and pitchfork riot, bombing the server so hard the game was effectively shut down, over some FDev derp?
The answer is "never". Not once.
But unsurprisingly, another thing being downtalked with (sorry) complete nonsense.
Thanks for proving my point tho...

If you are talking about DDoS'ing the servers, then these kinds of people should never be listened to or given any attention, other than filing lawsuits for the people doing it.

It's downright petty/childish, and companies shouldn't negotiate with or give in to these 'terrorists'. I have to deal with this kind of behaviour at my day job, and people who use this to ruin other peoples entertainment to prove their point should not be given a podium IMO.

OT: not much I can add other than what others have already said unfortunately. Been there, done that unfortunately (although it was with a cheaper ship and a few years back). It sucks and stings for a bit, but it's not the end of the world.

Ofc not, the Eve folks were using ingame means to overload the servers. Namely shooting a giant statue.
This is well documented and 30 seconds of googling wouldve told you that.
Thanks for proving my point. Everything remotely resembling critique, suggestions, you name it, is being downtalked by default.
I hope "your kind of people" are proud of actively roadblocking any change for the better, which this game desperately needs.
At the very least know wth your even talking about, before you call for legal actions against folx who didnt do anything illegal.
(Which ironically is considered a punishable crime btw.)

Everyone's idea of what would make this game better is different (and this is true of any game).
The only idea of what would make this game better that matters is Frontier's.

 

[Shhhk]

Just a noob crying out loud, nothing new. Enjoy your sidey and make sure to learn from that mistake that cost you "so much"

 

[Morbad]

On the topic of metallurgy I remember reading some review of the series The Boys, where the author clearly didn't get why Sgt. Homelander couldn't save that airliner after destroying it's controls. It's obvious, and the character stated as much, that if you try to support or apply significant force on a multi-hundred ton aircraft made of relatively thin aluminum on just the surface area of a human profile, that shape will just tear through the craft. It would be like trying to herd a soap bubble with the tines of a fork. Yet, somehow this managed to sail right over the head of the author who put it down to some half-witted and barely relevant idea that made me wonder how someone with such an obvious mental deficiency even manged to learn how to write.

There are certain things we can all agree on tho (i think).
Like getting rid of "relog dangerous" by simply increasing the number of high grades to a point where you can actually farm them,
instead of cheesing the fact that the server "forgets" you already looted the site.
Or better yet, alter the droptable of all the utterly useless signal sources to make it worth farming those as well.
Im pretty sure flying from site to site to gather stuff would be much more in line with what the original idea was anyway.

Or changing commodity prices by simply adding a zero to the end of everything that isnt LTD, VO, Painite or Tritium...
None of which requires more than altering a couple values, which can easily be done over the course of an afternoon.
"But they might overdo it..." Yeah, but everything, and i mean EVERYTHING, is better than the pathetic farce we currently have.
Realize that this IS the gameplay, you search for a HG for half an hour, and then relog for 20 minutes straight.
That wouldve been hilariously bad even for a 90's game, leave alone a multi-million dollar project in development for several years.

Not being vocal about this being a steaming pile of garbage certainly doesent do the game any good.
Allso mind you how if your not willing to stand up for the things that need change, then nothing is exactly what you deserve.

I had the same thought process when watching the show - your post made me laugh a lot!
