Why not just close open play fdev?

As a relatively new forum person, can someone explain this term please? Is it somehow related to the professor from Bagpuss?

You got your answer already but sometimes forum speak is a language unto itself isnt it? Sometimes they make sense over time and others you just have to ask :)

Let me guess, frustrated ganker with no easy targets to murder? How about you go and pick a fight with someone who can actually give you a run for your money? Just a thought. 🤔

On topic! Worth pointing out just for that.

Again, this just shows how the Crime and Punishment system isn't really fit for purpose. We need a ways to ;-
  1. Track notorious commanders so that bounty hunters can round up a posse and go ahuntin'. (You don't even need a monetary award, I'm sure people will do it for free).
  2. If a bounty is collected on a notorious commanders, maybe a notification is sent to all their victims that this particular individual has been liquidated.
Mind you, some players just make it too easy for the Gankers. Min/Maxed trade ships are like seals to their sharks.

1. There are ways but some gankers use PG & Solo to mat collect etc so they arent actually in Open all the time.
2. Some gankers will take each others bounty, thats why its capped at 2m Cr, sending 'they got killed' messages seems ok at first but its not, its potentially harassing type behaviour or witch hunt mentality, it doesnt lead to good places.

Thats what the lawfuls are for :) Most gankers arent that good they just rely on people panicking or being stationary or going very slow. I did suggest that the Gankademy see what is the lowest build they could get away in. So far I know an A rated un-engineered Cobra mkii got away, high-wake obviously, am waiting to hear if theres even weaker builds.....meanwhile I am experimenting on my own :) Got Grom bombed the other day for the first time in the explo Conda and still left with 2 rings of shields low-waking, 2nd time I high waked out and back in. If there were lawfuls around Id have carried on low waking.

Obviously there are more accurate or more experienced gankers, but most arent, they rely on easy kills or wings.

Some of us have not participated in that thread....

Dont go near it! You read one page and you end up going back 10 and then youre hooked forever (and it will be forever, it aint gonna end), its absolutely hypnotic.
