Rat CatcherI do find the minority view that this game should be PvP focussed amusing...

Even sillier that open is considered something special and deserving some 'reward'!

Usually such tat is spouted by males who still believe something small is actually important



Rofl...which is why you don't play open

i don't think the game should be any specific way...i do however behave in this game as i do in any other mmo, a greedy murderous pirate. if you got cargo and no friends in open and i spot you. you are in trouble, that's HOW I PLAY...everyone is free to play however they want...including in private groups. I just Still think your private group wallet should be separate from your open play wallet. and i don't think you have anything to refute that. Also what is with the stereotyping? is that what we are doing here or do you want to adult for a second and try to make sense? What does me being a male have to do with the fact that my opinion is both wallets should be separate. Dont get me wrong you keep farming hard on private so maybe one day you can fight me in open, perhaps even win if i'm solo and you bring enough friends. but on the meantime do not try to project your insecurities on me through a video game's forum. It is impolite, WHEN THE POINT I WAS ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE WAS: If you are a carebear like many who buy this game just to explore or mine, then go ahead and stay in your group. but to get very rich very quick without me killing you constantly is what bothers me, if only open was all there was ah would i so make you my detail for a while . but there you are, running mouth in forum while from the safety of solo play. i see you in the dark sweetheart. if you ever got the guts to come out and play ;-)



See, that denigrating comment, putting those who've little to no interest in PvP in the "carebear" group could have been worded better... but this is a topic we've had here before ad nauseam.

Your following comments & points in later posts could have been attempted without all of the similarly denigrating barbs too. Just my opinion, ofc.

There's a WHOLE LOT more to E:D than just PvP. Some like it, others don't. I'm quite glad that there are options in E:D for progressing & earning credits without feeding the pirate players.

That PvP credits should be given some special consideration or classification is congruent with your pro-PvP Pirate presentation. But, it shows to me that you consider PvP & Open mode something superior or special, above the other 2 career paths & modes. Again, just my opinion.

Personally, I think that all of the posturing is unnecessary. But, if anyone wanted to add a name to a list of blocked/ignored players in-game, you've just made it easy.

Perhaps, you might consider adding a typical description of your pirating? Is it simply that of something akin to a berserker, wantonly attacking & destroying simply for the sake of PvP or is there any pirate-type of RP included? That might make a difference.

All this is coming from a RL 61 year old female, born without an overdose of testosterone. Thankfully.

I can't imagine that anyone would be impressed with a pair of hairy DD-cup b(o )( o)bz.


Thanks for posting the response (which has been removed apparently) to my comment

I actually don't recall my saying I don't play in open, just that it isn't special, despite some believing otherwise.

As for the rest of the posturing... I guess it looks good in the gym and impresses the other boys...

Igneel PrimeElite and EVE both have an older audience because the original Elite came out some time ago now so that audience is a bit older these days and EVE was made mainly for adults anyway and that 17 years ago now. And I think it's beautiful. Memes hate on boomers but those I have played video games with are some of the best team mates. We had an over 80 year old playing EVE in our alliance. PlanetSide2 I played with an over 75 year old Vietnam Vet (probably 80 at this point too). And Elite has a lot of 80s and 90s kids playing it because they grew up with the original.




^--see i like this guy...however im a lowsec pirate from Cruisers crew,, we fuck shit up and then we drop supers... in elite, i am the same nasty  pirate, if you pick me on sensors is because im already coming for you, your cargo, and your wreck salvage. iI go out of the bubble when i get bored of killing, i go take pretty pics then i come back and murder more shit. is all the same...buncha spaceships, buncha guns and missiles and ways to make your shinny shit go boom, so  I LIKE IT. and you can only stop me by staying hidden from me in your solo session or being good in open. And btw, when elite originally came out i was 5 years old i did however grew up playing frontier pc games among others.

And when people hate on boomers( specially at the gym), i show them my abs at 240 pounds 5, 11 after a 500 pound squat set and be like.... where you at young blood? Cause im at 14% body fat getting ready for contest and then i smile as they turn walk way while their friend goes, DAAAAAMMMMMM BUDDY!!! (minus 2020 of course)


If you were 5 in the 80's, you are not a boomer.

^this^.

"Boomers" is short for "Baby-Boomers", a term for the babies born during the post-WWII baby boom until ~1959 (Afaik).

I qualify, along with the other 'Old Farts' from the same era.

Generation X started in 1966...

Is there another made up category to pigeon hole people for no apparent reason, between Gen X and Boomers?

Rabid KiwiSo what does it take to get the Photographer ribbon bar?


Enough posted in Gallery, with enough quality to gather the 'Shiny' clicks.

I did some 'semi-pro' film photography in the past, back before Digital became the rage.

In E:D, I think that things like subject choice, centering, framing & balancing are some of the more important aspects upon which to focus. (pardon the pun!)

You can do a search for tips & how-to sites; here's 1 I quickly found as an example.

Digital Photography School - Composition

I use LightShot although there are others; it's free & very easy & simple to use, & it's a 1-keypress.

Good Luck, Cmdr! o7

I am (this supposed) Gen X and I was born waaaaay before 85. It is definitely in the 60s somewhere.

1965

Generation X (or Gen X for short) is the demographic cohort following the baby boomers and preceding the millennials. Researchers and popular media use the early-to-mid-1960s as starting birth years and the late 1970s to early 1980s as ending birth years, with the generation being generally defined as people born from 1965 to 1980.[1] By this definition and U.S. Census data, there are 65.2 million Gen Xers[2] in the United States as of 2019.[3] Most members of Generation X are the children of the Silent Generation and early boomers;[4][5] Xers are also often the parents of millennials[4] and Generation Z.[6]


Millennials started in 1981.
