Phisto Towers.
Question for Open players who don't like PVP/ganking... help me understand
- Thread starter Danquememe
- Start date
Phisto Towers.
We just need to find out what it is that really divides us, then find the things that don't. A conversation like this one is a good first step
Well I have to say you have been quite shining beacon on ganker side, reasonable and fun
To add insult to injury, because of the Colonia tritium crisis, their carrier is now stuck out there too.
There seems to be a lot of carriers in Colonia nowadays. Bloody nuisances, I hope they would make carriers destructable
This is true; however 22K LY does surpass anything we achieved on that score
The carrier situation is just gravy lol. I'm assuming this was Phisto and the boys from SPEAR. Quality trolling.They (someone) did show their faces on here, claiming it a massive victory. I believe they posted a video. It was rather like celebrating the fact you stood on someone's toe despite your face being covered in their filth.
Police badges are no good for mining? Ha!
Self appointed police badges
SPEAR Suicide Pact Ends All Resistance, or something.
So let me get this straight. Your response, and you enjoyed it, was to see someone beaten for a video game. Their equipment destroyed or stolen from them. You participated in all this, then admit it proudly? Yep gankers are the sociopaths folks. Nothing at all like the upstanding players who admit to assault, kidnapping, vandalism and theft IRL in response to a video game.

Communication is key. Solely from my perspective, I see the victims of gankers come to the forums, call gankers names and give armchair diagnosis's of ganker mentality, gankers fire back with more name calling and "git gud", and around and around it goes until everyone just hates each other. And if you go back and look at my old comments, I used to do the same thing but then one day I just decided to try being really fudging nice to everyone, to show that gankers aren't actually bad or mean people in person and I think it's safe to say I've been fairly successful with this approach so far.We just need to find out what it is that really divides us, then find the things that don't.

We actually all have a lot in common, I mean we're all playing the same game after all, so why not seek to find that common ground. I'm utterly shocked at how many players, who have previously said many nasty things about gankers, reach out to me and askes for PvP training, or advice with something.
I honestly think it starts with us gankers. We need to stop acting like the cruel and heartless people everyone thinks we are and start acting like the kind and helpful people we truly are.
Me too, my friend, just from the other side of the equation. Not my proudest moments, I'd have to say.
But, you live and learn.
Why not indeed?
Lan parties reminds of me and friend of mine playing co-op some submarine simulator over the lan. Who is that barstard shooting our ships? Well it was both of our AI crewmens manning the deckgun We were playing co-op, both of us as German submarine captains....

Is a gank evasion test a valid reason?Nope. You haven't attacked me ever. And my rule set is quite simple attack without comms -> block. Attack without valid reason ->block. For the lulz is not valid reason
I fully support people who do not want to experience unwanted PVP to use the block function, if they feel it helps tailor their experience. It's an in-game tool meant for that purpose. If it helps to make Open better for them, then I'm all about it.
Using blocks when you are or claim to be a PVPer seems sad, though I suppose everyone has their reasons.
It worked out pretty well, not going to lie.
To be fair, they did get me once. Rebuy well spent.
I mean, this is what I've been doing, thanks directly to feedback from "non gankers" in this thread, and it's been hugely impactful - in a very positive way - for my gameplay experience and at least a majority percentage of those with whom I've "interacted."
So, yeah, you're right, and I agree. And I'm trying to walk that talk.
Speaking of gankers trying to do good in the game... my homebase, the fleet carrier Mother of all Ganks, owned by the one and only CMDR ACowForAllSeasons, my Sith Lord, mentor, and good friend, just so happens to be making a trip out to the Rosette Nebula tomorrow (Thursday), so new players can get their 5000LY journey to unlock Palin out of the way.

This is the same thing that Cow did for me a couple months' back, and he's done it now 2 or 3 times for other players.
We'll be doing stock Sidewinder PVP in the pauses between jumps, for anyone interested. Or just climb aboard and park till we arrive. See vile gankers up close and personal, decide for yourself what kind of monsters they actually are.
Who knows, you might have fun?
Community Event / Creation - Gonking the Grind: Rosette Nebula Expedition (Palin unlock)
Get your Palin unlock folks. If you're new to the game - the best Thruster upgrades in the game are from an engineer called Professor Palin. Journeying 5000 LY into the black for the unlock is a pain in the ass. So MOAG is here to make it easy for you. Just jump onboard the fleet carrier Mother...
