True.
The only real thing FD could do is add some kind of warning when you first load Open stating that it is a free fire mode and anyone can shoot you for any reason (or no reason).
And have a tick box "I understand" at the end of it.
At least that way, if folks come to moan about getting killed in Open - the answer is, "you ticked I understand" and you can then lock the thread
Good advice. I guess I misunderstood the "get caught" part.
Do you even English?
True.

That's actually really good idea. Hear this man out, Frontier!
That was from NPC's. That's part of the game. I'm talking about people who, instead of doing all the other 'tons' of stuff to do in this game, they hang around and shoot weaker ships, to make themselves feel good.
It's very different, but you know it's different, you're just trying to use this silly argument to justify been an antisocial greifer who is out to make sure other people don't enjoy and progress in this game.
I agree - i hate it too!

What is the difference between being attacked by NPC for no reason and being attacked by player for no reason?
What if we couldn't distinguish Cmdrs from NPC's on the scanner (I actually think it's a great idea)?

I concur. Also need a box for dying without insurance, one for losing merits on a Thursday morning.

That's actually a very good point! What is the difference? It seems to be OK and part of the game to be attacked by NPC's but we lose our minds when it's a player!

I did read the OP, and he was not wanted in that system, therefore killing him was a crime, but because this game cannot deal with that very well it is easy to do. But I am talking about newbie killing in general, which is the main topic discussed here really isn't it. And bounty or not, we all now it wasn't for the few K credits on his head don't we.
It's the intentions behind it. The NPC's are part of the game. They are there to add some realism if you could call it that, and some challenge.
We all know there are people out there who enjoying killing other CMDR's to make themselves feel big. To purposely seek out and target other players, specifically new ones in weaker ships which stops them progressing or enjoying the game. I'm not necessarily saying that's exactly what happened here, but it does happen.
Again, you know there is a difference, and you know what it is. You are still using this as a terrible attempt at justifying been an unsociable griefer. People's answer seem to be 'just play in solo' Great. This online multi-player game with no one in it.
Griefing is part of any MMO if your allowed to attack other players. Some ppl have fun when others throw bad words at em because they where killed for no reason.
I see no glory at all in killing weaker players, aktually i would say it shows that the griefer is a bad player unable to kill equal or better players.
PvP is also questionable with the huge drawback and inbalance in this game.
A PvP player will have modules for PvP only build in, while some other player is actually playing the game have a lot other modules build in he needs in his playstyle. So if a PvP griefer attacks even with the same type of ship, the other player has no chance because he lacks of shield cell banks or shield boosters.
Rebuy costs on expensive ships say, dont use me for PvP.
Dont even know why play in open ? I got ppl that can play private group with me, if your not in PvP Solo or group is much better.

And? Pirating sb is a crime to. Do you think pirating CMDRS is a no no?
No we don't - unless you know more then I do. Why should a bounty hunter not attack sb with a bounty on his/her head? You could say that it would break immersion not to do so.
The player knows better. The player is sentient and is aware of their own actions. And it isn't for no reason but it might very well be for a reason that has nothing to do with the game.

No. I am not into PvP - yet I relish the hightened danger of sharing the universe with ppl that can squash me.

The attitudes of some displayed on this thread confirm the views of the OP who is a newbie trying to play the game in open which is fair and reasonable. He like many others is driven away because there are players who simply get a kick out of just killing for no other reason than they think it is fun. Majority of these players have been around for some time and have good ships. I have experienced this myself, being set upon when not wanted nor carrying cargo and just opened fire on without any warning, simply because I was there. The crux is, unlike many other games where you are killed and respawn complete with kit etc, here there is a cost, and the poor who has sweated his way into a craft that is half reasonable has to find some credits to get back up and running.
Your answer to this is go play solo... well if we all played solo there wouldn't be any player interaction. All I am saying is if you have been around and have a kickarse ship, when you into a human player in an inferior ship at least have the decency to give them a chance. We all start somewhere, and some of you who have responded negatively to the OP are simply confirming the view about griefers.

I do it for threads like these because it brings about such vigorous discussion, not because I enjoy seeing them complain.
What can change to prevent what I'm doing?
What can Frontier add for large ships to do that's more fun than playing Psycho?
