Anyone else enjoying the irony that after the comment how rude PvEers are, people are gleefully slagging off PvEers? No one?

but then, so what if I cheese some mission pay outs, and come away with 72bn credits. It's a video game, happens.
I agree.

What's the alternative...I'll sort of agree...BYT
If I want to enjoy WW2 Combat I'll play Il2 BoS/BoM
If i want to enjoy Modern Combat I'll Play DCS
Not done it for a while buth there always was Rise of Flight if I wanted to be the Rad Barron...
Now where's the same for Space Combat????

I was referring to her avatar.
And I am likewise asking you for evidence, and for just one point. That's half the effort you asked of Hellakiity!
So you do have the evidence right? You surely wouldn't make a point without it being concrete?
Ah, it's far too long since we've had one of these threads. How wonderful.
Just as its gitting gud, I have to "quietly evaporate" back to work. Damn you, real life!
There isn't one.
But that doesn't mean that ED has to be shoehorned into 'serious space combat sim' just because it's the only one out there. It's an arcade-style shooter at best, albeit with some nuanced and surprisingly deep mechanics that lie behind the ever-changing landscape that is the meta-game.
The solution for that ISN'T give up playing Elite Dangerous..and play an unrealistic subset of it where almost identical ships have 1 vs 1 duels in a tiny subset of systems within the Bubble...
Its give the AI FAR MORE teeth...and co-operative tactics
Typical Jason, evaporating before gitting gud.
Confirms what Mrs Barron told me......
I actually disliked playing small ships i do not like it at all. Ever since i got my hands on the big 3 i have only used those exclusively. (tried chieftain and T-10 did nto like those either)
For me using big ships is fun (just dont like the economy and the rebuy cost currently i would have more fun if i could afford to have 2-3 of each of the big 3 and have specific loadouts for different jobs)
You offer an interesting perspective on the effect of the new C&P. It may be that this 'middle tier' PvP crowd are still re-engineering their ships, but if it is working as a dis-incentive to play the baddie (but currently goes too far) this is good news if accurate. Getting that balance right is important, and Sandro did say he'd be looking at how it goes in live & tweaking it, but the basic idea that there is now a fairly effective deterrent to excessive ganking is a big step in the right direction imo.
I think that for the more experienced player like yourself it's not too much of a surprise that you are able to work around it (by your description just by knowing how to escape), I think this is okay for now because it doesn't seem to have made the game worse for you, just not necessarily any better yet.
Cops & robbers switching sides is good too in my book, to help maintain a bit of balance, makes it more fun for everyone.
Of course it's a game. Taking things serious about it is a general problem in the gaming community (just look at this forum...).
But it's perfectly understandable that people are frustrated about others who do things in game with the simple intention of disrupting them having fun. It's like the schoolyard bully who takes away the ball of younger students while they are trying to play soccer or something. I am pretty sure many of those gankers just enjoy to be the stronger one in the game (the schoolyard bully in the example above probably has a pretty bad live and parents who like to bully him).
I don't have any respect for gankers and the like. It's a virtual environment, so I can't say much about them as persons, but their intentions in the game are infantile rubbish.
Also, why the provocation line about crying and running to mummy? You like drama?

I always said that what happens in OPEN happens in OPEN. What happens in any mode happens.
Players are cheesing mechanics of the same in so many different ways. From station exploiting killing players with zero counter, or just milking some funky RNG from the mechanics of the procedural generating mission / economy.
The problem is, and I called it from the beginning of time, is that folks in ED, (interestingly) are way too wrapped up in what other people are doing, that what they're doing. If everyone concentrated on themselves, everyone would have a great time!
Perhaps just a symptom of this hybrid MMO model. You'll never please everyone at the same time. Ever.

The AI are tailored to the average player, if you want a PVE challenge you need to access the manual difficulty slider in the shipyard and outfitting or take wing missions solo.
That's been done before.
The forum owners had to get the contractors in with marine-grade water pumps for the tears.
The AI have been given small fangs in 3.0, and still that's too much for some. People just want to go seal-clubbing on the NPC's, simple as that.
Frontier can help solve the "killing for no reason" problem by making destroyed commander's ships drop 1% of that commander's materials, so that PvP kills pay a reward.
Speaking of avatars, you look mighty handsome today!
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in this history of mankind.
Mankind -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests.
Perhaps its fate that today Monday, and you will once again be working for some money.
We're fighting for our right to live, to exist. And should we win the day, the 12th of March will no longer be known as just another day, but as the day when the world declared in one voice:
Jason will not quietly evaporate back to work!

It's just shameful.
I mean, did they ever ask the NPCs for consent for being shot at?
Also, why the provocation line about crying and running to mummy? You like drama?
Love it. It's one of the few things I'm good at.
