That was far too easy. And I didn't even mention my true nemesis: Jurassic Park. Never been able to finish that fracking game.What happened to Sonic 1 ? - I didn't even realiZe he was ill, GRHS

You must've never played Super Contra for the NES. After 20 years I still couldn't even get to the last level of either, let alone beat itThat was far too easy. And I didn't even mention my true nemesis: Jurassic Park. Never been able to finish that fracking game.
So... you didn't even think a minute about the possibility that
...but you assumed he was somehow cheating because you've been killed.
- your ship was really poorly equipped
- you are not very experienced (that's not a fault)
- he was a more experienced player
- his build was far better than yours
What's wrong with people and videogames nowadays, we used to blame ourselves for not being able to beat the final boss in Sonic 2.
It doesn't necessarily include the younger generation, plenty of older people in elite share the same ideology. But you said it perfectly anyway: entitlement. Where the game owes them enjoyment that fits their playstyle.Sadly this is the new entitled gamers that has enmassed the gaming society for the last 5+ years. Us old timers (well older than 30 anyway) grew up with games where you actually died and lost all progress and items, where save was only done at intervals chosen by the game. We took then that sportmanship and logic on to the internetgames arena.
Bottom line, I blame WoW and the likes. Where you never really die, you just pop up at the nearest magic "savepoint" with your inventory and weapons intact.
/end this weeks "dem youngens" rant
MDH
P.S I know I'm a bit harsh... but I'm mostly right
Psycho Bob is not a bad guy he's just misunderstood. You should try talking to Bob you two probably have much in common. PeaceWas it Psycho Bob? I hate Psycho Bob! I see him all time in Solo. If I could kill him, I would.
I blame Fdev for that: they didn't ever characterise their game as a "single-playerish" experience or a "mmorpg-ish" one, they gave us this hybrid that only create discontent with everybody.It doesn't necessarily include the younger generation, plenty of older people in elite share the same ideology.

Elite supports two very different playstyles. The notion that either is superior to the other is entirely subjective, yet people on these forums still complain about dying and gankers from entirely legitimate gameplay.
The fact that the discussion remains a discussion is extremely obnoxious as it's always the same thing over and over.
-Player gets blown up in open
-Player complains about it to the community
-Community confirms this is normal for open play, offers solutions
-Nothing else changes. Ever.
There's that entitlement at work
Back to the main point though, OP dhould provide a video to confirm if this was actually a hack.
Those old timers is the biggest problem with this game. They can not only put up with some ancient stuff from 1980s in a 2015 MMO, they preach this is the only way. And up until recently Frontier would rather lose money than stop listening to this kind of people. Not anymore /hugs ADCUs old timers

Well of course it depends on what you're looking from the game, probably if FDev were able to offer a single player experience and a different mmorpg-open-only-experience back in the days, we'd have far less problems and discontent right now.Myself, and plenty of others, are not discontented with what you describe.
OP: We're not trying to be hard on you, really, just throw us a bone here and answer some of the questions? What's your build? Do you have a video? This likely wasn't hacking which means we can help you prepare for the future.

Just my opinion of course and yeah, we're going too much OT (as usual when something like this happens).
Anyone better than me is cheating. How else could he be better than me? Duh.If Sonic 2 was multiplayer, we'd be blaming other people. You know it's true.![]()
