Hi there.

I may be hanging myself out to dry here...but this really bugged me tonight and is still bugging me now.

There was an incident just now at this weeks CG at Carlisle staion. I was about to dock,cash in some hard earned bounties when a player, with no shields,deliberatly crashed into me, killing himself and making me wanted, so the station would kill me as i tried to dock. This is an ongoing issue that happens regulary among players. Its been happening for a long time. I see this at almost EVERY CG. I noticed on my radar that he was coming in fast and was heading right for me.So i locked on - a clean dbx. but before i could move, bam, then the staion opens up on me. ive been caught this way twice before,(spread out over 2 years, and about a year appart)still though- costing me millions, ( i fly a corvette) 25 million. i did not have enough for a rebuy because id just been stung the night before.I normally would never fly without a rebuy and was actually going to dock and store the ship untill i had the money..... So.. i logged off. I know its against TOS to combat log...but this was NOT COMBAT. The reason im posting this is because when i came back to open the player said he recorded the incident and is going to report me and send in the video to try and get me banned. My handle in game is Electric Kite.

So not only was this guy content with trying to get the station to kill me for no good reason other than "lolz" (and some may call this griefing,) he then wanted to get me permanently removed from the game because his little plan didnt work out for him?

Is this the player base we are fostering now? What the hell is going on?

I swore a bunch at him, im not proud, but i was so annoyed because he was so hell bent on getting me mad and trying to ruin my game i had no other way to react but swear at him. A lot. Not my proudest moment.

I guess..i just wanted to share..video games..when they are good..they are great...but tonight? I honestly felt like i never sat down to play elite.

So well done that guy. o7 [up]

So not only was this guy content using a game explot to kill me (and this is griefing, i dont care what anyone says, this is the lowest form of griefing if you ask me) he then wanted to get me permanently removed from the game because his little plan didnt work out for him?

Yeh he was a cheat.

If you spoke to him, did he friend you after he destroyed your ship to communicate with you?

If so you can add him to the block player list.... you will never see him again in game.

always block players who cheat like this.

Sorry to hear that.

That said, are you sure you weren't speeding? Keep it under 100 m/s and you should be safe from that kind of shenanigans.

what is the system?
I may go over there with my Pink Anaconda with pink weapons and blast the self harmer.

The irony of this is that the speed limits were imposed on us because some players loved to ram people to death, ofcourse now those same people love to take a shieldless lowhealth sidewinder and ram other ships to get the station to do the killing FOR them.

It is indeed as people say about 187'ers they are not into pvp for the challenge, they are in it because they enjoy ruining other peoples day, not unlike that german video that surfaced some ways back of a group of youngsters that kicked a woman in the back so she fell down the stairs at the subwaystation, just for lolz, yes I know this isn't the same thing, and this is just a game.. but I am talking about the MINDSET.

Indeed. Suicide station ganking is a blatant exploit with a tangible negative effect on other players. Clear instances of deliberate use should result in account deactivation.

Unfortunately, the griefer almost certainly reported you for the swearing as well. But on the bright side, Support tends to show very good judgement when it comes to not acting on reports submitted with malicious intent.

Have you considered playing in a private group?

This is not an exploit and the guy wasn't cheating; the mechanic is working exactly as intended. Don't go over 100 m/s near a station when there are players nearby... I'm sorry you had to learn about it this way, but hopefully this thread will inform other players so they don't have to eat the rebuy.

I don't think you'll get banned though, don't worry about that.

I get how frustrating it must be.. and honestly you have my sympathy..

.. but to get caught out 2 nights n a row and flying without re-buy? Surely you could've avoided this?

"Report me!? On noes...not that. LoL."

"Haha..."

"I'll be back later in my other Corvette...."

Never let them mine those salty tears. :) Give them laughter, not sadness.

Fly at or below 100 m/s when on the final approach, It really isn't that hard. The station only fires on you because you are above the speed limit when the collision occurs, even if the collision wasn't your fault.

Have you had someone kill themself on your hull when flying below 100? Does that negate the bounty? If so..i didnt know that. Its not a question about it being hard. But thanks for the info.

That said..its not really adressing the real problem -player mentality. Not that i think anyone here is going to solve that particular problem. I realise its beyond most of us posting here.
