Aleksander MajjamWhat a surprise...
But I was told ganking was a rare thing.
If it was rare, it wouldn't be the number one topic in system chat wherever I go.
I do see few gank attempts on myself these days, but I guess that's because of the ship I fly. Chasing engineered Couriers must be quite frustrating.

I'd like to see a couple of you PvP hating carebears at the next one.

I don't hate PvP. I don't even mind ganking.
I just dislike baby seal clubbing. Is that really necessary?

I also wouldn't mind a tutorial on combat without flight assist; I'd call myself a decent pilot, but I've definitely got room for improvement, especially with FA off.

i was watching ACOWFORALLSEASONS last night ganking at Farseer Corp, but when any one of his victims complained that they lost their Meta Alloy; he was taking them to his FC and giving them one in return. Then letting them land at Farseer and hand in the Meta Alloy - but warning them they will ganked upon leaving.
A lot of the pilots went in on open and left in SOLO...

Might as well comment. Someone I had a small exchange with earlier mentioned that new pilots should stay away from where the gankers are, but at the same time said the ganking was to teach them that they should be getting better ships. Lol. How can newbies get better tech when they're being ganked at the places they need to go in order to get better ships!!

Igneel PrimeAnother thing is that Elite just isn't a mainly PvP game. In a lot of other games like EVE for example there is at least some focus on PvP. In Elite it is an option. There are a lot of other aspects of Elite that are definitely bigger selling points for the game. PvP is more of a side effect of how we interact with the world which other players are also a part of.
I think this is accurate. Except for that bit about EVE having "some" focus on PvP - nah, EVE is entirely focused on PvP. It's built from the ground up as a conflict-based game and there are very few activities that don't put you in competition with other players.
Elite is built as a PvE game, with PvP as a fun optional extra. I don't think either game would do so well if they strayed from their core principles.

I came to E:D to experience what is to the best of my knowledge, the only space sim that is based on actual real-world current scientific data & as best within reasonable compromises in order to make it playable, physics.
I recall playing Microsoft Space Simulator (a MS-DOS game) & loaded into the machine with a stack of 3.5" floppies. Relatively crude & simplistic, surely.
Now, with all the recent advancements in discoveries & knowledge of the solar system, galaxy & universe, we have a game that thanks to the advancement of computer technology, allows us the means to enjoy them.
