A friend of mine finally decided to try ED. congratts!
Well, the area surrounding player starting points are surrounded by jacked up ships, piloted by players looking to kill all with an open symbol on the radar.
Him and my self struggled to move around in open play. There was just hour after hour with relentless ganking. I get the "if it flies it dies" thing, but this is ridicules!
Please educate me on the following; what does a player gain from killing another player on sight. A sidewinder and a lance. What does the player killing a sidewinder gain? There is something I am missing here for sure.
Work around, create private group. Play until maxed out engineered combat ship, and then go open play.
So my question remains; What should I look to gain from shooting another player, I never gain anything from that. I feel a bit stupid to ask this. For there is no loot, no extra perk for it infact beeing a player, what?
Reason for asking, it is impossible to move around, so people are for sure getting alot out of it, that the game is not supplying elsewhere.
At least interdict a player and ask them to drop cargo, have an argument first. Scan the cargo of a ship and ask for said items. And please, move along if there is nothing there you want. Now it is, open symbol on radar, interdict, kill instant, repeat.
I shall read the post about surviving the gank, but I feel that that will not apply to new players coming in.
Until then, solo or private group thanks.
