Says the plum who tried to wreck players game time? Back under ya bridge ya wet eyed pion
QFT!!
I myself have had many instances where the target either logs or rabbits, many more than actual successful attempts. There is no effective way to get around the exploits. By the time I tell the they are not in danger, they are logged or boost boost jump...... Comms are clunky and anyone wishing to have ANY chance at fixing it will have to go outside game to use a macro prog. That being said, I'm not sure me telling them they are in no danger will have any more impact as they feel REALLY upset when they are pulled and rage-switch
The Code would come back, but piracy is still broken, so there isn't much for us to do .-.

Clearly, they were forced into KoS. I feel their pain.
Other than scouring the forums and chucking in the background?
It's my job as a semi-retired pirate, what can I say .-.
Whaaaaaa-?!

1: 2.1 beta testing forum is archived (not visible), if i'm not wrong.
2: The amount of players we killed is irrelevant. It's all about the message, clearly there's a reason why we are the most prominent featured group in the elite community. Maybe if you believe your group should be featured on news outlets you should work a bit more on your own propaganda, image and what you do/bring to this community.
3: Two last thing's, piracy is dead. There's been no updates or attempts on frontiers end to fix it despite long feedback and internal discussions. It's sad and dumb to think there's no place for piracy in this universe.
Heat, should have been fixed in the weeks following 2.1. I understand it wasn't a major global problem gameplay wise but it was game breaking for the pvp community. Frontier is slow with communication (granted they improved in the last month), they are still bad at balancing ideas, pvp and combat... it might explain why it took them 3-4 months to fix the most simple thing's like heat.
I think we need Frontiers to open the testing server more often to test out ideas and suggestions from the community. That would benefit everybody and create a more pro-active community to find quicker long term solutions.
My 2 cents

That sounds like you are playing in beta?And as I just found out over the weekend, that PvP Piracy is basically impossible at the moment. Only just discovered that if a CMDR jettisons cargo, and then flies off, as you'd expect them to, you (the pirate) cannot collect their cargo.
Supposedly it's been like this for months (maybe someone can confirm how long)? And FD have felt it's OK to leave it as such for all that time?
I actually flew all the way our to Maia to PvP pirate for the first time in a while, only to discover it was a complete waste of time due to this bug. Sort of a sad reflection on Piracy and PvP really (2 yrs into the game)
Since beta has had a chance so limpets don't pick up own jettisoned stuff, which if you are playing it would seem to indicate a bug if a pirate wants to limpet that stuff up?
"The message"
Here's the thing though.
Pick issue that already has been brought up by many, claim Frontier is doing 'nothing', attack a ton of people to get forum activity, claim credit when change does happen.
Is nothing but a publicity stunt, that is it. You want attention, and you seek the bluntest and most disruptive method to get it.
- You do not know if or if not Frontier was working on it.
- Claims that they don't respond to PvP people complaining, when this game isn't based around PvP, should tell you that frontier might be busy, and as such do not have time to read everything, and respond to everyone.
- You could get EXACTLY the same amount of reaction from frontier, if not a quicker response, by submitting several tickets on the issue, in fact this is the proper method to get their attention on a subject that is considered critical, except, this wouldn't be public.
# But the method chosen is basically as disruptive as it can get, you are basically going around kicking down sandcastles on the beach until enough kids are upset that their parents react. When you can basically you know, chose other methods, to convey the issue, but of course, that wouldn't get you public attention. And considering how the talk is on SDC streams...yeah..that is what it is about, not helping the game, but finding a thinly veiled excuse to be as disruptive as possible.
Also add that you are basically saying it is the 'only' way to get stuff done, knowing differently from many other Elite players, maybe, just maybe it is the only way SDC knows to get stuff done, you could do so much more 'good' for the game in many other ways.
3: Piracy is not dead, give it a rest, PvE Piracy is fine, Elite is not a PvP based game, do some PvE piracy which is working just fine and quite valuable, PvP piracy is having issues, guess what, because of the PvP part, NOT the piracy part.

That would have been me
It bugs the crap out of me that with all the cool things our community does, it takes a group of people "protesting" something that FD had already decided to change anyway to get someone to pay attention to Elite's player base. The Fuel Rats alone are a kind of community support that I have never seen in any other game, let alone all the other player groups and projects that make this community so amazing. All the commanders out at Colonia have had a bigger impact on the dev's plans for the game than SDC can ever pretend to have, and is one of the coolest emergent gameplay events I have ever witnessed, but nope. A group of PVPers claiming to have achieved something they had nothing to do with gets the first mainstream attention I've seen Elite get in probably a year.

I thought that there is not possible to beat first selfie post, but I was obviously very mistaken

Well I'll give SDC that. Their best feature is that they make me miss The Code.
Lies, damn lies and SDC, here, have your 2 cents back, they're worthless.
While I'm sure you are hesitant to state how many players play in each mode, would it be possible to show a player in game how many other players are currently in open? I think it would be cool to see how many other players might be playing in open when I login, maybe before I appear in my ship.
What a load of drama queen rubbish.
The weaps got nurfed because they needed to and FDEV were planning on nurfing them well before the drama queens went killing newbies in their orcas for all of 5mins.
I dont mind the drama, its the trying to claim credit for the thousands of feedback sent to FDEV from CMDRs who having nothing to do with the drama queens.
