Powerplay When doing PP stuff, and interdicted or otherwise attacked, how often do you die? (PvP)

[Agony_Aunt]

As per subject. How often do you actually die? How often do you escape? Or do you usually kill the attacker? Or are you the one doing the attacking? How often are you sucessful?

Of course to other players only.

However, if you die to NPCs, and are not ashamed to admit it, post here as well

What about when doing deliveries? Any problems with making those deliveries?

Naturally really aimed at people playing in Open.

All the time, never had a successful fight while undermining. All I meet is FDLs, FAS and gunships.

Once in a CZ to a false flagger. I've won the ones while underming and high waked while fortifying.

Umm.. isn't that rather expensive in insurance costs?

one step forwards and 5 backwards.

Depends on what I'm in. I die quite a bit in my Vulture, the FAS tends to be a bit more durable

Normally I'm the one doing the killing though If we have an expansion I'll average about 5-20 PvP kills over the cycle. Quite a few of them carrying significant number of merits

How do you quantify that?

Good question.... and, i understand you do get some merits in some circumstances for killing opposing PPers don't you?

if you know what you're doing and the other guys are not too good, you can escape

If they are fortifying, with a cargo scanner. Otherwise, maybe indirectly by their bounties?

No CMDR ever interdicted me when doing PP stuff.

I always escpaped so far. Flying a shieldless Imperial Cutter (with reinforced alloy) it's always a thrill to get interdicted by a player. My closest engagement was somewhere around 4-7% hull after a second interdiction from same pilot who brought me to around 25% on the first strike. It's a bit sad that he/she didn't bother to even type a message...

In that case, might not even have been a powerplayer. Maybe just someone out to kill other players.

For me, back when I was pledged, interdiction by a player meant a 90% chance of death, but it only happened less than a dozen times that I can recall. It doesn't help that I'd forget to high-wake, and I was always running around in jump-range optimized cargo builds, Asp Explorer mostly. They never talk, though, so who knows if it was even PP related.

I never went around attacking humans when undermining. The PvP meta was just too expensive for me to be competitive.

I've never died doing PP stuff, sure players try to catch me, but I tend to be slippery.
