How did you get 6?

There are 3 sets of solo and pg. PS, Xbox and PC/Mac
Sorry, didn't see the word "other" in your other post, thought you meant total.
Was about to explain there are 9, lol.
You can tell it's close to half term, my brain is already in the off position and ready for 2 weeks of not having to get up / rush around.
..... because that would be silly!

Sometimes I go to say something and know I am opening the floodgates...and say it anyway.
If your reasoning is kept in-game/roleplay...ey...there is nothing wrong with annihilating ships to hinder an objective. Even if they are leaving the station, putting them off the objective is absolutely any player's right.
All is fair in love and war.
Of course I won't deny some do it for the lulz, and that's valid in its own right. We should be more aware though that RP is indeed a thing.

On the odd occasion, yes.
Of course. However, given the design of the game, if any of the targets find the interaction to be "un-fun" then they can (and will, I expect) vote with their mouse and select a game mode more suitable to their gameplay expectations.
Almost word for word I heard you saying that before you typed it. At least you are consistent

Wouldn't it be easier to "Restrict or remove" the constant regurgitated PVP biased gameplay threads from this forum to make the FORUM a nicer place for those of us who actually enjoy the game and are very tired of this merry go round of catfighting. Just a thought.
Not really.
The design of the game clearly permits PvP in both multi-player modes; the advertising for the game indicates that PvP is possible; all players who either bought of backed the game did so with the possibility of PvP firmly in place - and some players seem to rather enjoy their PvP.
There are those who don't find PvP to be fun - and the game design caters for them too.

Yes I agree that "Roleplay" is indeed a thing. What I contest, however, is that there is no "purpose" in attacking ships *leaving* a CG station. Therefore there is no "Role" to play.
Also, let's consider "Roleplay" as a slightly more immersive experience than mere shallow gameplay. We all intuitively know that there should be a backlash from a station for continuously annihilating its patrons... So a Role player *should* acknowledge this in the context of playing "Role". Alas, my strong opinion is that "Roleplay" is being used as a deliberate excuse to play in a way that those players intrinsically know that there is no real underlying Role.
Now, if you were to go to another station where the haulers are bringing the loot *from*, and attacking them leaving *that* station, this would actually be performing a function, and a Role and possess purpose for CG blockading or PP prevention.
Sadly, playing ^this^ valid and legit "Role" sounds like it would be too much hard work for the "Role players" involved.
Please don't seriously tell me there is a purpose to attacking vessels leaving a CG station, because in reality we know there isn't. It serves no purpose. And is therefore a pretty lame excuse.
Really, the term Roleplay gets deliberately misused on here. If the activities being pursued by a CMDR are constantly changing to suit the desires of the player, this cannot be termed Roleplay. Roleplay as a CMDR character means the player follows the supposed character of the imaginary CMDR and not keep constantly changing "Roles".

That's your opinion. Dissuading players from even taking part in an objective is a completely legit tactic, as is giving them any kind of delay, or trying to box them in, or wearing their cash reserves to the point they cannot continue.
And what is there to say an Empire supporter cannot roleplay a pure and simple hatred for all Federal ships, for example?
Dirty tactics they are indeed, but tactics they are. Again: all is fair in love and war.
I already professed that some players are in it for the lulz (and again, until it's against the rules it's 100% legit in its own right). However it's fairly safe to say that many deliberately dismiss the possibility of RP when it is there.
I fully understand this and think it's great for all involved. BUT these particular threads really are getting tiresome. It's always the same 6 odd members endlessly arguing over the very same topic over and over and you get the picture.
The more that threads like this are almost encouraged really doesn't do the forum or community any favours. It doesn't change anybody's view or gameplay style. If anything it is more than likely making possible future players who read this forum think "Nope i'm not getting this game if this is what it all about" worth a thought everyone.
BTW it's xmas guys,, chill out a little eh

But if we got rid of the PvE biased threads as well.. that would get rid of the other same dozen or so members arguing over the very same topic over and over.

Indeed they are - however, as Frontier hasn't chosen to change the game in favour of those whose play-style is eschewed by an apparent majority of the player-base, they keep popping up.

There's no containing mode related discussion - if not permitted an outlet, it usually spills over into just about any thread where PvP is discussed.
.... and this thread is quite a "gentle" example of the genre.
It's almost as if the Christmas Spirit has permeated the forums....
Bah. Humbug!
