They think they do anyway. Might as well play solo. I do when I don't want to meet people or want to go to special places
.Fair enough, indeed...They think they do anyway. Might as well play solo. I do when I don't want to meet people or want to go to special places
I am sitting on the opposite, as I want to meet people Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Whatever tickles my fancy at the particular moment.Fair enough, indeed...
The thing about frag mambas and the like is...
I have one. It's fun.
I've never once used it against another player.
I bust it out for "assassinate politician" missions.
Turns out that the things we think of as "gank builds" are very very good at assassination missions. Who'd have thought?

...not most, but at least some of "gank builds" are also very good at avoiding to be kaboomed by other gankers
The only folks to blame for that are gankers and pad blockers
Because they would actually have to fight on equal terms and most of them dont have a clue about real PvP

If the ganker isn't in the wing and isn't cheating, he's within the rules of the game....not most, but at least some of "gank builds" are also very good at avoiding to be kaboomed by other gankers
Ganker links and cheaters do not give any chance to the player.
~pirate noises in the distance~Fair enough, indeed...
I tend to disagree with this as to the reason for it (PVP PG) not being popular. I suspect that there would be few weak trader/miner/explorer builds in the group, negating the means for their enjoyable gameplay.

Well, there's an app for that: https://edrecon.com/edmc-plugin
I'm not quite sure how it works and I certainly won't sign up for it, but it seems to send wanted-state of scanned Cmdrs to a central list or something.
Not saying it's a good mechanic. Just curious to see if anyone has mine beat.

PM me if you want the unblurred versions
You beat me, I only have about 75% of this. Mine's huge because I used to do a lot of multi-crew, hopping into other people's ships. Because Frontier don't understand basic multiplayer features like lobbies, sometimes you'd get into a situation where someone in an Adder would be AFK a few thousand light seconds from anywhere for hours on end, but they'd left "looking for crew" toggled on, so you'd be paired with them over and over. The only way to not be paired with that person would be to block them - then you'd be automatically paired with the second person in the queue instead. I'd spend 2-3 hours multicrewing and usually block about 4-10 people in that time.
Well any player can block any other player at any time for any reason, including none at all.
I prefer to have a consistent policy towards the measure but I don't write the rules.
Grom bombs too?
I've actually never encountered a ram orca. A few suicideys, but no ram orcas.That's the "subjective" blocking... OP is using "objective" metrics.

You could interpret it that way yesWouldn't playing in solo be blocking almost everyone bar the player
But playing in Solo doesn't affect the instancing of other players. Whether that's an important factor or not is up to the player, the game allows you do do lots of things other players might not like.
Can't please everyone
A few years ago I made a suggestion that on the insurance screen there would be an option to blacklist an enemy, as an option you could add people to the blacklist only there.
A Frag Mamba doesn't need grom bombs. It is designed not to need them.
