SPEAR have abandoned Deciat. Watch yourselves out there CMDRs.

[Dillon Fallon]

I'm sure of you have noticed, but it seems Deciat has become rather spicy as of late. Now, we all know gankers are usually found in Deciat, but what we have at the moment is a massacre.

So what has happened here? Well it seems SPEAR have come up to protect the Colonia region from... well, clean ships by the looks of things- so watch yourself up there as well.

Regardless, whilst they're off on their holiday, they're not around Deciat to to distract the rest of the gankers. If you want to go there in open, make sure you're confident in your build and ship flying skills as any gankers have a free pass to do what they want this weekend (more so than usual anyway).

Can confirm.

Colonia On The Brink of War

Well. That's that. I log in the first day in a month, and promptly get attacked by SPEAR in a CZ. No biggie, I was on the opposing side, so I bailed out. Am a bit rusted. Sadly those holier-than-thou heroes followed me out of the CZ, and tried to blow me up. Well, too bad I'm a lawful citizen...

They are ganking clean colonial citizens.

 

[Jellicoe]

SPEAR are just another bubble puppet seeking to oppress the free peoples of Colonia in aid of the theocratic dictatorship. Defend liberty in the nebula.

A small guide to discern wanted from not wanted:


wanted

not wanted

I'm safe I have a fleetcarrier in the black so i'm not logged in

They are out trying to bring order where nobody really wants it. Well, as long as everybody's having fun.

There's good fun being had in Colonia. I can't speak for everyone who's tried flying though Deciat though.

Breaking news.

Spear attacked the CMDR who is single-handedly responsible for most of the high grade engineering available in Colonia. Why, because he has the LRCV squadron tag. Colonia unite against this ganker intrusion.

 

[Nutter]

I'd love to get involved, but I have a Carrier stuck in the black... wait this could get repetitive...
Um, lets see what the next patch breaks then I'll come back to you

 

[CMDR Tony]

What does any of this even matter? People just hide in Solo and\or block people from their instancing. Good job FDev (/sarcasm).

Yeah, I figured that would happen to yianniv when I saw him in squadron chat.

Well, they aren't here to make friends, they are here to uphold the law and protect noobs.

On second thought, strike that

Well, with a combination of every engineering guide funneling new players though Deciat, SPEAR off galavanting and the default mode now being open, I thought I'd do my bit to help out. Sure, it won't reach everyone, but at least there's the possibility of a new player seeing this and making the choice of whether they want to run that gauntlet or not.

Obviously some players are in open. Inara is now saying 11 murder attempts there in the last hour.

 

[Old Duck]

There are no bugs gankers in Elite Dangerous.

 

[Bigmaec]

We're up to 18 27 murder attempts.

Ahhmmm

 

[Bigmaec]

I mean, not that SPEAR would've prevented those murder attempts, they aren't that good anyways...

[NCFCpaul]

Um, they got me one out of two!

In my nice shiny clean Federal Gunship!

You mean they got you two-on-one.
As in two of them got you alone (I wasn't fighting that fight).
Still not the typical 4-1 but unfair nonetheless.
Especially as you were clean and without notoriety.

 

[Dillon Fallon]

Ahhmmm

It's fine, that was only a spike. It's dropped to 23 now.

If you have been affected by today's ganking, please contact Loren's Reapers and we will happily provide advice in how to prevent it happing again.
