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]
