It's been about five years, you know, they could have done at least something. I get they faced quite a few challenges during kickstarter and release, but since then there were only baby steps, and no attempts to either pull this game towards solo or better online experience, leaving it weird hybrid that doesn't cater to pretty much anyone. It just shows any lack of care or passion post prodution, only filling checkmarks for investors on features that never were actually fleshed out and remained in tech-demo mode forever. To be frank, Elite is beautiful game we all love very much, but let's be realistic, it still holds its niche because there's virtually no other games in the same genre brackets that's even worth considering. Last that could remotely compete with Elite for playerbase was X3 from 2005...
Question for Open players who don't like PVP/ganking... help me understand
- Thread starter Danquememe
- Start date
I get cloggers about 25% of the time, but I don’t use ganker ships so that probably helps.
Yes, it's a daft thread, but PvP as such isn't what he's complaining about. It's more that some other people wouldn't have him in their PvP group. Wanting to get into a PvP group presumably means you're in favour of PvP.It would have been better if you'd linked from the first post - that put it into context better
Newb friendly PvP groups
Greetings and salutations CMDRs I'm a somewhat fresh commander finally looking to get into some PvP after a few hundred hours grinding away in the black on PC. Excruciatingly, the player encounters I've had so far have involved mostly hard ganks and am currently blacklisted on PvP hub for...forums.frontier.co.uk
I saw that thread appear - read a few posts and didn't bother again - reading through it I understand why!
@Brrokk - take a read from the start
I've been clogged on in a sidewinder. Lots of gankers used to be pirates, but clogging turned them to murder. Game working as intended?
I didn't say insist. You said "expect", although I know it was in jest.
You had better play my way, or I'll put a pink paintjob on your ship, and make you fly around with a frilly skirt on it, listening to the teletubbies greatest hit(s)....
Orrrrr, I'll just run away....! I have no idea where this post came from!?
Ps - I'd lmao though if I got ganked by you in a bright pink ship!
Sorry for suggesting you read it from post 1 - the link took me to the first 'new' post after I'd abandoned reading it.
Looking as an outsider the player wanting to 'join in' PvP was a little odd in his attitude, it appeared more to me to be 'baiting' the PvP group rather than a sincere wish to join in.
As designed.
A different network design would have prevented this.
It would also have prevented a lot of players joining in tho, since it would probably require some sort of subscription or another source of income.
Good job you are not on console: Pristine_Bump's Krait is... yep! PinkYou had better play my way, or I'll put a pink paintjob on your ship, and make you fly around with a frilly skirt on it, listening to the teletubbies greatest hit(s)....

No, the C&P system is not adeguate and yes, some players will log whatever you do or say and whatever ship you use.
It’s probably not totally intended, but frontier has made one attempt already at revising C&P, soa second attempt probably isn’t high on their list of priorities.

I have a pink python too, purely for innuendo purposes!
Why "don't complain "?
If I go to a dog park I'll know I have a higher than 0 chance of stepping in dog crap. I'm still going to grouse a bit if I step in some. It wasn't what I wanted and its not an experience I enjoy even if it is a regular occurrence in such places. And now I have to clean up the mess while berating myself for not being more attentive, I can also berate the dog owner for not cleaning up after their pet.
Venting is healthy, holding in our feelings is not.
In your analogy, you have the option to go to an equally rewarding dog park without dog crap, but you chose to go to the one with the stink.
Not true, I could go to a dog park with no other dog owners or enthusiasts, or to one with people I already know.
If I want to meet new people though I risk stepping in poop.
I'm so going to steal this quote...

Seems to me the guy was just asking for a PvP group, and got interdicted by the few experts in interdictions we have here.
Which is hilarious when you think half of them already clogged at least once or are just on wifi in their mom's basement painting sidewinders orange.
Ayyyy, welcome to the carebear contingent! Keep the salt flowing, buddy, we love it!
It's gonna happen. I'm buying a pink paint for my FAS just to gank you now.You had better play my way, or I'll put a pink paintjob on your ship, and make you fly around with a frilly skirt on it, listening to the teletubbies greatest hit(s)....

Because the game has provided you plastic covers to put over your shoes, dog poop bags so you can clean it up yourself as well as a two other dog parks that have no poop in them at all.
Pictures or it didn't happen...
I fear my mischief may have backfired a little...!
