Can we please stop calling it PvP? There is nothing "versus" about this.
How about PaP; Players against Players?

How about PaP; Players against Players?
Like I said, you don't have to believe me, you can check their previous "event streams" and you'll find occurences of such things more than once.
The gap what they -as an organization- claim to stand for and their actual in-game actions is so huge, you could easiely fit an entire galaxy in it.
Well, that is the counter to the lame. Just fill every instance they can switch into with prepared commanders. Wheter they are PvP aces or just decoy drones who can laugh at a wing of 4 interdicting a T6 because it's so "menacing" and "top level PvP" doesn't matter. As long as you're having fun.
Don't expect too much PvP, though - once they're bested, them crying foul is also not unheard of.
Gankers v Carebears?
Personally I think groups like the SDC add a much needed sense of thrill and danger to the game, and the chance to experience encounters with the likes of them are what pushed me to stop playing in Solo and move to Open. That's not to say I support ganking, but I nor do I have a problem with it either. I got ganked and killed without question on Wednesday night and yet didn't shed a single salty tear. It just inspired me to get better at PvP. Not saying everyone should have the same mindset as me, of course not, but I do think people should care a bit less about being killed in videogame... especially given the demographic of the player base.

That last part is especially true. For a forum that prides itself on being "older and more mature", they certainly love to whine and carry on over the possibility of danger in a video game with "dangerous" in the title
As in real life the line between "dangerous" and "stupid" is very thin.

They do go on a bit..
I object to being called mature on any scale. I have struggled hard in life to still be a 43 year old kid.That last part is especially true.

But I wonder, can you turn that view into introspection dear Rinzler? When you hold the stone of judgement in your hand, maybe you shouldn't be throwing it in the glasshouse called SDC
edit: 44 year old kid with memory issues.

How about some of you move this event into beta and make some useful feedback instead

We have more direct feedback channels with developers regarding beta testing (a small PvP focus group)

For being a smart group of guys, you sure are ignorant from time to time....the possibility of danger in a video game with "dangerous" in the title
Standing by for:
- Cutthroat Galaxy
- Hunt down commanders
- Play it how you want to
- Blaze your own trail
Did I miss any?
Zero calories, same great taste?
"Dangerous!"[...] the possibility of danger in a video game with "dangerous" in the title
(I like this. It's like a sober version of a drinking game).

The issue with having an "older" user base is that they cling incessantly to a certain morality and are very vulnerable to stress and are easily intolerant of anything outside of established comfort zone.
Most weren't born in the age of diversity, can't really blame them. Some adapted phenomenally, most did not, for reasonable causes.
Well THAT explains a lot.

This alone should disqualify your post, the emoticon does not come to the rescue.
Fine. So you do have enough money, you do have the opportunity to go elsewhere after being slaughtered by outnumbered and outpowered ships. You're then a very lucky person.
SDC does not provide ANY thrill in game. Your statement is the first time I heard something like this, I have heard countless accounts of contrary descriptions regarding SDC activity. From people having paused (or quit) the game.
SDC is not a fun group for people outside the little ganking squadrons.
Problem is: There's no real player base demanding to change rules so this ganking party could stop. Even the "justified" or "honourable" PvP groups are so dry on real engagements, they lower their personal limits in regard to fair play so much they become a laughing stock when comparing their descriptions and their real actions.

This is by far the most interesting definition of "back then they had morale and character".
