Been flying around tooled up to the teeth in an Anarchy system in my Viper, looking for 150K bounties.
Some tool, also in a Viper has been annoying the off me. He keeps interdicting me, despite clearly being less well equipped and having very poor control of his vessel, but then FSD-ing outta the place before he dies a terrible terrible death. I will not call him a griefer as I have a 50K warrant out on my head from Eravate, whch I am not going to pay, ever..........but....
on the last occassion, I decided I was going to unload my torpedo pylon on him before he could escape.....
Boom!
75% Hull
BOOM!
34% Hull
on with the beam lasers....
30%
25%
20%
10%
4%
.....and he vanishes into thin air.
Obviously, he managed to pull the plug on his internet connection and kill the game just in the nick of time.
Realising that I have just squandered 30K to teach this tool a lesson (and failed thanks to the pathetic way in which this d/c cheat can be executed), I try the same thing in order to save my torpedoes.
Did it work?
NOPE!
2 Torpedoes down, and this tool who was clearly going after my bounty is none the worse off.
Assuming that this cheat was in the game during the beta, I find it utterly unbelievable that it has made it into the release version. How hard would it be for the server to keep a vessel logged on for 30-60 seconds when people d/c right in the middle of a fight!?
