Which is the point in a circular way- unless you are prepared in a mode that allows any action you are not really approaching it correctly. You have to play to the mode, not expect the mode to play to you.

It's a game.
Take any explosion as a learning experience.
Hedge your bets by preparing for the worst, as Rubbernuke said.
And go out there, find people!
Really, I met amazing people in this game, be it the Operation Ida truckers, Fuel rats, Teabaggers, Gankers, White Knights and last but not least the people
I have the honor of flying with every day in my squadron.
This game is soooo amazing with friends, with common goals, writing your own story... Go out there, find CMDRs with similar interests to yours,
and enjoy everything this wonderful game has to offer.
There is a whole universe out there, and PvP is just such a small part of it.
it's not really as bad as the minor vocalists make it out to be.
IMO of course
Kid, you know I don’t react kindly to that kind of humor. there have been women on the internet and in software development since long before you were born.
We’ve had PM’s conversations about this attitude of yours before.
BREAKING: Man takes memes as old the the internet to heart and grows offended.
"I'll show my age and therefore that I should be listened to by referring to people as 'kid', that'll teach 'em!" he continued, oblivious to tongue in cheek wording.
This is a pretty lame suggestion, real pirates are going to take what they can get, chivalry is not relevant so even following this wont keep you safe if you run into someone doing real role play - if you worry about griefers then play in a private group, thats what they are for.
The fact that this version of Elite is called "Dangerous" has a lot more to do with the devs trying to make the game sound fun than it does with any logic that says a game name must be reflected in all aspects of the game ("Elite Grind" or "Elite Illogical" or "Elite, better than Star Citizan but still only just about finished" dont sound anyway near as fun).

I’m not disagreeing, but its our combined attitude that promotes and encourages
them and resign open to amateur pvp’ers
Proper pvp’s organize and foster a
gameplay with consent.
So why not take that as a community rule?
Im Not Saying you can’t be a Major AHole online, please I’m one of the major ones you can meet
Gun-port rule of thumb enables more fun ways for everyone to relax and play together in different ways as it factors into keeping to the Role-playing as a nefarious person.
but it definitely puts more guilt of being an aHole on the people who do choose random violates another players gaming session.

But that would leave the player who wants non consenting targets with nothing to shoot at, so it doesn’t help.
The problem is you are trying to establish the rules the community will live by after the community has been running for years and evolved its own rules.I’m not disagreeing, but its our combined attitude that promotes and encourages

Good insight! I always kind of wondered this too - same tools available to everyone, why are there not more anti-gankers?
(That being said, i was in Deciat engineering last night and SPEAR were keeping the Gankers VERY busy)
However.....this thread is getting all very 'California-y' so i'll just say......
@Boff'in (and dare i say @Murgle) PvPers pretty much do what you want them to do already!
Seriously - if you bump into a random bunch of PvPers, they're likely to either ignore you....or invite you to join in! (Emphasis on the invite)
Gankers on the other hand....even IF they see your message....well, I'm sure you can figure it out
I guess what I'm saying is, outside of the hotspots, experience has taught me the game is already what you want it to be!
PS - Join a Squad!
Even then, trying to set up "community rules" doesn't mean jack if you've not got anything to back it up. Look how it went for the guys in colonia when a new group showed up that weren't a party to their collective bundle of existing treaties and agreements as to which groups had a claim on what systems.
"But we agreed that our faction would have that system!"
"who agreed"
"all of us!"
"I wasn't there, I didn't agree."
"but... we did! That system's ours!"
"funny, the name next to where it says controlling faction seems to read otherwise"
You don't play in Open. You said it yourself. Far as I'm concerned you've got no standing to meaningfully comment on the matter.
I play sometimes in Open and I can't think of any reasons other than the ones he's listed.
Because you refuse to.
cracks knuckles
This conversation is tiresome so I'm going to go ahead and break it down as clearly as I can.
You can't think of reason beyond what Murgle has raised because you refuse. Anyone that engages in PvP can't possibly be doing it for any other reason than to ruin someone's fun. This betrays an extraordinary dearth of imagination.
First off of course they're not horrible people. Don't be silly.
Second, Open Play allows for unrestricted PvP. That's core to the rules and the experience. If you can't accept that it's your problem.
As far as the motivations of the people in the game you've got three: I like making people feel bad, I'm selfish, I just want to dominate others.
Mr. Screemonster is talking about me and my group, Loren's Reapers. In case you've forgotten, about a year ago we mounted up and headed out to Colonia. Our goal was to flip Carcosa to control of the Nameless.
Why? Because gee golly, it sounded like a lot of fun! Nothing more, nothing less.
PvP was of course part of our strategy because we play the entire game. The agreement Scree refers to is the Jaques' Accords. Here's a copy of it:
If you want to know why Colonia used to be so unfriendly towards PvP here's a big part of the reason why. Of course, we somewhat famously don't follow the rules and shot down more than a few explorers from enemy groups (especially when we caught them in Carcosa working for Explorer's Nation).
Over everything that's been posted about our adventures on this forum - all the laughs, the fun, the drama, the good feelings in spite of fighting each other - can you honestly say we engage in PvP just to ruin people's fun? There are countless examples of this kind of thing all over the Bubble. It's funny you and so many others have never, ever noticed after all these years.
And furthermore, you can't think of a single reason why someone would do PvP other than to ruin someone's fun?
I don't buy it, buddy. You don't want to believe it because you, and so many others, just hate adversity - especially when it comes from a player - and so the colloquial you take to the forums to fight it out instead.
By doing that are you signalling you want PvP though, or just want a cup of tea?
Tea? How awfully civilized.
Its nothing but classy people in Dangerous Discussion.
