You were served fresh emergent content, and pulled the plug on your game?

Shame on you! As punishment, all your ships should be stored at Hutton Orbital and your transferring disabled.

 

[Vardaugas]

Log off! Refuse to be a toy!

this would be an awesome punishment, or.... economical plotting for 2 weeks each log

the bubble would be a 500 jump nightmare

No matter the situation, combat logging is wrong and (I believe) against frontier's rules. You are risking yourself by doing that.

There are several tutorials there on how to survive and interdiction, and many cmdrs willing to teach you how to do so. Don' quit, play and learn, it's just a game after all .

Someone shot me down in my unarmed AspX approaching the slot at Obsidian Orbital. He was in a FDL. Fortunately, I wasn't carrying anything mission critical.

It happened so fast, must have been like shooting a fish in a barrel. Made we wonder how many others he had shot down. (This was on a PC)

That depends on the CMDR.
Just because you consider it a punishment doesn't mean that others might not see it as entertaining.

And btw, no need to use route plotting at all for such short distances like going around in the bubble or to the pleiades. Maia to Sol is what? 10 jumps? No need for route plotting at all.

Just to clarify I'm been playing for 3 years now I'm not quitting lol.
I just thought I would warn other people of the danger.
If my conda wasn't empty for jump range and fully kitted out I'd have beaten him with his own heat sink ejections. I don't agree with 9 mill rebuy for no reason I wasn't carrying anything I had two cargo slots for gods sake.

The guy that interdicted me was also an FDL.

YUP Log off or just leave open, and sorry to burst your bubble. Logging is not cheating, unsportsmanlike? yes. So is killing defenseless ships. When someone logs off he neither gains and the attacker doesn't lose anything. Maybe people need to look up the word cheat. Leave the pitiful pk'rs to themselves.

 

[Tadeus72]

Lol. An empty Conda in Maia in Open. No idea why you are flying high rebuy non-defense fitted ships in a known ganker hunting ground when you say you are an experienced player. Next time fit your ship when you go into dangerous territory? Especially when you find the rebuy to be high. What have you expected?

I think I know this CMDR as he fizzed something at me on my way in to the mail slot to get me to react. I docked and basked in the safety of the station insulting him on comms. Nothing too saucy of course, anything rude just isn't cricket. I enjoyed myself, especially when others joined in. He was a good sport and threw a few back.

how is the topic in any way alien related?

do not feel ashamed using solo mode to dock there.
even the great pvp'er harry potter plays in solo

Actually good point.....about Aliens I mean. Who's Harry Potter?

 

[PigKiller]

Wow...interesting story.
I guess the moral of this tale is to make sure you always play in 'solo' or you might have to deal with other players.
Hope you take the lesson to heart.

Combat logging IS against FDev policy and they've stated as much. Menu-logging via the 15-second logout timer, is not (though still viewed as CLogging by many).

If you play in open, you are accepting the risk of getting murdered... some people simply like to play that aspect of it, and it's fine. I've faced a only few rebuys that way, and most of my play is in open.

Mainly, NEVER fly a ship without defenses in open! You do NOT skimp on shields, boosters, defenses in open for a few extra ly's jump, or for a few tons of cargo. A properly fitted trade ship, with the right engineer mods, can survive most attacks long enough to get into the slot... or to high wake away if interdicted.

The reason for paying insurance is because you would have been killed if you hadn;'t cheated. Its fine if you dont want others shooting at you, but then dont play in Open. You dont get to arbitrarily define the rules whenever they suit you. Besides, anyone in a conda should be able to just fly away anyway.

Maia is an anarchy system. You cant go into Open, fly to an anarchy system and then complain people shoot at your ship mate. [squeeeee]

I can loosely relate it for you... There is currently a prized alien related mission available in that area that these people are griefing others for participating in.

Again not complaining was a warning to fellow CMDRs.
Jeez everyone's Salty.
Just was slightly miffed that it cost me 5 minutes.
I'm not a rage person just a community spirit kinda guy.
I realized my mistake with open/solo when I saw the CMDR on radar. It happens.
If I had cargo however I wouldn't combat log piracy is a legitimate pastime and less legitimate economy. That's when you have to accept your busted.

Not mad, not salty
Just warning folks.

 

[GluttonyFang]

I recommend staying out of Open if your solution to encounter player imposed danger is combat logging, at least menu log, if you are insistent. Especially when Maia is an Anarchy system if memory serves correctly.

There's a reason FDev increased the no fire zone for stations out to 8km right after 2.4. Because of all of the little d**** sitting outside Obsidian Orbital taking shots at people because they are human scum.
