Multicrew trolling - it works!

[Bonzodog]

Wait ... I've only just read this ..... you mean that XBox players have a "family share" that gives them multiple accounts, even though they don't buy multiple accounts with Frontier ???

Yes, thats an advantage of the XBox now. We only buy gold once, then share it to all other accounts on the Xbox. All games are bought for the XBox as a whole. Thats the idea of a console. Buy the game once, and anyone who has an account on your XBox can then play it. The best thing is, that because a basic MS account is free, you only need an email address to create one. I myself have two profiles with Microsoft, with entirely different Gamertags.

Incidentally, the same thing also applies to the PS4.

Quite happy to admit though that I have zero experience in mc, and am just responding to what I've read about it.

I can save a seat for you on my Corvette, if you want to play with things.

Then I'd have to download it again...

As an aside... mc could be a useful tool for pvPers who want to educate PvEers in what they believe.is a "better game". (No sarcasm etc intended)

***s don't care about 'cooperation', 'trust' or 'community', they care about being a ***.
Giving the owner of the ship an option to at least keep countermeasures control to themselves, would help in dedouching.

Is that like dedouchment .. dedoucherising .. dedouched?

Haha .. WORD OF THE DAY ! (love it)

Hello Commander Lightspeed!

Excuse me, Sandro, but do we have to repeat the crime and punishment suggestions threads all over again, or is this now work in progress at FD as a result of that discussion ? I thought we did this to death previously, and nothing substantial came out of it regarding addressing the balance and making it fairer !

We're looking at some updates to the crime system at the moment, hopefully for the next full update (no ETAs, no guaratees!), specifically with regards to Pilot Federation bounties and ways to limit "sidewinder switch" crimes.

This topic is rapidly becoming ammo for the PC Master Race...

Yeah why not show frontier how silly it was to bring consoles into the game, that is the approch the op is taking to the MC flaws. and in that vain is it true that an xbox can use mutiple accounts and only pay for one. I was going to buy a second account for my master PC but if true i wont i'll get my Xbox setup.

ways to limit "sidewinder switch" crimes.

"This FDL you've just stored appears to have been used during the commission of a felony in the area. Your FDL has been impounded."

"You have fifteen minutes to pay the fine on your impounded FDL."

"Your impounded FDL has been crushed into a cube."

"You have fifteen minutes to move your cube."

 

[Roeni]

While MC might not be perfect, i dont understand all the rage and accusations towards the op.
It's a sandbox, you do what you think is funny to do. Making someones time in game miserable can be fun to you, or did you never laugh about those videos, of people doing stupid stuff or failing hard? Schadenfreude at it's best.
If you want everyone to be fair and helpfull, maybe hello kitty would be the game for you. But in a sandbox, you have to live with getting shot for no reason and all that "negative" things.

If you played Eve Online before, Elite looks like ezpz rainbow wonderland.

Shooting at a station yields better results than popping all scbs at once [noob]

I don't think it's FD's business to patrol what crewmembers do on the ship. If you open your door to strangers you might get unlucky, that's how it is. Online gaming trolls are to be expected, it's human nature, some people just enjoy ruining someone else's day.

That being said, I also don't think that it should be the gunner who is in charge of SCB's, Chaff or Heat Sinks. These are clearly pilot responsabilities, not gunner. Gunner's role is to shoot stuff, not monitor shields or heat.

It's not FD's business. It's MY business as the owner of my multi-million credit ship.

As for SCB, Chaff & HS. They are not clearly pilot responsiblities. I don't mind giving these to a competent gunner.

I may want my Gunner to run support, using SCB, Chaff & HS.

I may want my Gunner to use my turrets to defend my ship.

I may want my Gunner to use my Mining Turrets & Prospectors.

I may want my Gunner to use my Mining Turrets & Collectors.

I may want my Gunner to use all my Limpets.

I want the choice, I don't want the Gunner to have access to all of the above. It's ridiculous that I don't have that choice.

Hey Sandro, thanks for responding ... appreciated

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

Spacegames like Hellion for example and that unfinished SC one don´t care about any safe-guards at all.
You do what you do and you´re either benefit or hazard to the mission / situation / goal.

...

It's been kinda overdone with the flood of survival games. Eventually developers will realise that KoS gameplay coupled with open world and grind mechanics isn't very compelling to a broad audience.

 

[Becky]

Firing shield cells repeatedly for no good reason is just an unpleasant thing to do. And I'm fairly certain it is more likely to be detrimental to the community than helpful.

Some people get a kick out of making other people have a bad day, and they are pretty certain that they don't give a flying turd whether or not it's good or bad for the community. So long as their get their instant gratification dopamine fix they don't care.

Surely you have learnt this by now?

This alone is all anyone with concerns about crime and punishment has wanted to hear for a long time now. Even with the no ETA/guarantee part. I, personally, have to thank you for it. I'm sure there will be plenty of ungrateful replies soon enough.

Yes, it's true. The account that owns the game just has to have the console set as "Home" and then you can have as many accounts on that console as you please.

What we have learned today?
Multicrew has flaws.....terrible flaws....which needs to be fixed. I might join some other ships today again, coz it was fun to troll innocent CMDR's.

You could have done some serious testing for multi-crew bugs with a friend. So, yes I learned a lot actually - Some people:
1. can't have fun without spoiling someone else's fun.
2. like to brag.
3. rationalise poor manners by pretending they're helping the dev's.

[znôrt]

The concept of Multi-crew, at its core, is about cooperation, and trust. If folk are going to troll each other, there's a limit to how much protection we can (or should) put in place.

the problem is that automatic unconditional trust in random strangers was never a good idea.

not gonna argue about the mechanics, but how about providing adequate information to the potential host about the risk involved and hint at possible ways to manage it? a one time warning before opening the ship to strangers would do.

 

[Shar]

Well I learn't something new about frontier today, they have rose colored classes. I'll have to put it down to inexperience i guess.

What about making security vessels much more effective and faster in response at their work in higher security areas?
