Pirating Outside Stations.....and other questions

[Sandmann]

So you're quoting your afterthought about OP chasing someone via their wakes despite the post I made before said afterthought was posted, which contradicts you. I'm being evasive by pointing things out, before you posted, that explain in detail about how your complaint is unfounded? Riddle me that one.

I replied to the OP before I ever read your missive. You replied to me as if I'd been speaking to you telling me that you knew everything and had already told me blah blah. In the mean time I read Fergal's reasonable and polite reply to me and I agreed with it. Since then you've been jumping around shouting "I said it first, look at me!". So I quoted myself agreeing with what he and you said and now here you are still getting angsty with me. It's ok, we can all see you there, you can sit down now.

Yeah, see, that's what you're not getting even though I've stated it several times so far:

Yes yes I know... You said it first, kudos to you.

I hate having to rehash my points

I don't think anyone here believes that.

Ok ok.. You said it first, it's not possible, you are the pirate king.

Feel better?

yet another grifer post, have we not made clear that kids like you are not welcome here?

Yeah, everything is griefing.... woes me, woes me, what ever shall I do.....but, wait, theres a solo mode... so, uh, well... what's your point?

Play your way and I'll play my way. I care not for solo play, so go have fun on carebear island and leave PVP fans to their on devices. Thats the point of solo mode. I have no intention of holding a rally to burn down carebear island... yet, on the flipside, carebear islanders want the rest of the universe to be converted to Carebear Island 2, The Huggening. Sorry, that's boring.

Anyways, this thread has got off topic.... back on topic....

Pirating via station stalking.....

I actually tried it a bit today.... I scanned 2 players, they had goods, but seems to be mission goods and not the high end stuff.... so I let them go. Will keep scanning until I find paydirt..... gold, precious metals and such.

Let me know if any of you have any luck with this.

I did some interdicting, and I must say that even if I get pay dirt.... the interdictor mechanics are very poor. So poor, that anyone that has played for even an hour knows he/she can simply submit to interdiction, boost away, charge FSD and then get away while laughing at our attempt to steal from them. That sucks the fun right out of being a pirate when everybody has a "carebears eject" button for every encounter.

But still, piracy is a lot of fun!

no more ideas?

Yeah... I'll just submit, boost away while my FSD cools down, and be gone long before my shields are down.

Even when submitting, your cooldown is 10 seconds plus the 5 seconds it takes to cahrge your drive. Unless you upgraded your type 6 shields to class 4 or 5 any decent viper or cobra will be through them in a split second. The default class 3 shields might as well be for show for all the goood they do.

I wonder what happens if you do an "emergency drop" when someone interdicts you?

Doesn't work anymore, they patched that out during beta.

Don't you need other players first? Lol..... Solo mode is king, and thanks for reminding me why I switched over .

Why even bother commenting on a thread if it has zero effect on you?

You replied to me as if I'd been speaking to you telling me that you knew everything and had already told me blah blah.

Uh, no, I didn't. You brought up a point that held no water, and I pointed you towards a previous post I made that explained why your point held no water. And I did that once in my second post, and now you're making it seem like I'm jumping around for attention? You're deflecting, and you addressed NONE of the points I made, instead criticizing me as a person and some imagined personality flaws, because you have no argument.

In the mean time I read Fergal's reasonable and polite reply to me and I agreed with it.

No, the only thing you agreed with was that he said he'd pirate someone by using their wake instead of "station camping," which he told you directly you can not do, but right after he says that and you "agree" with him, you reply to me explaining that you can "pirate someone to death" outside a station and cause a kill-spawn loop to grief someone. You contradicted yourself AND you're not addressing the fact that you're wrong.

Since then you've been jumping around shouting "I said it first, look at me!".

As I said, my second post mentioned my first post once. Any references to it after that are because, just like right now, you aren't addressing anything I said. You do realize this isn't how arguments work, right? If you say "X is this way" and someone says "refer to Y which explains why X is not that way," you give counterarguments Z for why Y is wrong, you don't just ignore everything in Y and start pointing your finger and screaming "attention monger!"

So I quoted myself agreeing with what he and you said and now here you are still getting angsty with me. It's ok, we can all see you there, you can sit down now.

Ad hominem. This is practically an admission of falsehood right there.

Ok ok.. You said it first, it's not possible, you are the pirate king.

Feel better?

Wanna know something great? I've never once pirated anyone or anything, player OR NPC. See, again, this is you making assumptions about someone based on their arguments. I've never engaged in piracy, and I'm making my arguments not because I'm a pirate but because you're wrong.

You want to keep making snide remarks about my character and dodging the discussion, you go ahead. I don't think you're fooling anyone.

You can't spawn camp people.

Fine... You're perfectly right, everything you say is gospel, you win. Now can we please move on or would you like to jump up and down some more demanding that everyone listen to you?
