Trolled by NPC beluga

Sooden · Feb 11, 2018

So i was taking out my Type-10 then, with its hardened drive, so not fast... when it came to docking i was given pad 25.

A wild beluga appears. So i slowly turn around and exit... very slowly. Once outside i request docking again and i'm offered pad 25 again ><

Rather than mess around anymore i decided to log of for 10 mins and do RL stuff. Once i came back, i requested docking and now the dolphins where in on the joke ><

-one dolphin comes at me ! I try to slow down from my blistering 140m/s but can't and get a fine... oh well
-another dolphin passes me and gets stuck in the mail slot.. so slow down again, reverse and wait for it to clear.

Finally get inside and see this:

*yes i know it's a know bug. but wanted a little rant as its getting beyond funny now

Belugas are bullies.

First time undocking with my new Type-10, a Beluga comes in the mailslot just as I was about to leave. Just barely managed to stop in time to prevent us both getting wedged in the slot. But what does the Beluga do? It rolls around and shoves me down on his landing pad. And I get the loitering and reckless flying warning. Just barely managed to push back enough in time to pass the loitering timer and make it out alive.

Belugas are bullies.

I have been inside one!

The things I've seen have scarred me for life!

I fly one. I especially like to fly them to stations where there is no Beluga traffic, as others start to appear shortly after and congregate en mass.
It's like something in the AI goes "Oh yeah! That ship... I have those too."

This happens all to often. Like Exiton above I was recently consumed almost entirely by one. Only the wings of my Conda were left.

They have festering favorite-ship envy (i.e. cutter, corvette, python, etc.). So this is their way of protesting since they don't have access to the forum..

I had this too! Couple of days ago at a planetary station. ‘Pad 5’ says the controller. I look down and there's a Beluga sitting there. Then Pad 6 activates and another Beluga surfaces and takes off. The one on Pad 5 never did move. I cancel and re-request... ‘Pad 5’ says the controller (I think there was a snicker in his voice but that may have been my imagination) Pad 6 lights up and ANOTHER Beluga rises and lifts off. I logged.

Belugas are a menace.... and yes, ED’s version of trolls.
