Glial2I'm sure you hear this one a lot but here goes...

*checks inventory
2x escape pods


It can get annoying (and kinda fun) in high danger Resource Zones while farming components from pirates. I suppose I could just put the escape pods on ignore for the limpets, but sometimes the only challenge in PVE is when you are dealing with one pirate and two more decide to scan you and join in the fight for your one damaged escape pod.

There are miners 5km away grabbing stuff worth 300K per ton and they all want this 16K damaged escape pod filled with red meat paste. Go figure.

Try soloing a Distress Call at a Megaship/Installation. That's a challenge. ^_^

They don't care for the money. They need the red meat paste.

So much so they will willingly interdict a Corvette with a full combat setup.. without checking that it is.

I've sent a few Anacondas to the scrapyard early that way. And some particularly daring pirates who had barely exceeded their Harmless rating in their Vipers but still thought pissing off the pilot of that Corvette with an interdiction was a good idea.

Some dreams are destined to end early. That particular one, explosively.

Small shieldless eagle once pulled me out for pirating. Ended up fast and bloody. The simulation here is too broken.

Anyone else mildly infuriated that the free anniversary decals are slightly off centre?

Very frontier-ish of them

Turn off crimes againts me on AX combat zones. The amount idiots not doing that especially in axi group makes me think AXI should enforce that rule or frontier should make a cahnge. Friendly fires happens all time. U cant control shooted pieces of shard cannons accidentally hit ally doing zero harm to him when he suddenly decides to appear in your los.

YES YES YES!!!
This happens so often and it scks having to jump to another system to get rid of the fine or, if bounty, spending an hour in-game to wait until your notoriety drops to zero again. This setting should be switched off by default.

The surface port in that place was also funny, placed on a hill, which the Thargoids constantly humped and clipped underground.

It should not be puzzling Frontier why people have been telling them to turn off crime reporting by default in AX conflict zones but for some reason they keep insisting on leaving in an obnoxiously annoying “feature” that would not discourage a pro-xeno activist… sorry, “ganker”, from blasting a few ships.

All it does is the above, or even more insulting “bounty” for “mUrDeR” of an NPC whose idiotic flight pathing led it to crash into your ship (or through your line of fire) before they explode due to a caustic missile or Medusa massacring them and suddenly you’re a criminal. But what exactly did I do wrong?

Then frontier should do smt about gankers. Harsher punishments or rework cqc to make that mode worth for pvp players. The scam-citizen has one where everyone knows your location.

the whole definition of them is to ruin someone's life, they don't interested in both pvp and cqc at all.

we can ruin their lifes aswell and grieve em. A taste of own medicine.

what exactly is there in star citizen that you can take missions and bounty hunt players that have serious crime and you have their locations. One of my friends told how the crime system works and stuff playing star citizen for some time. Imagine having a profession as The Gank Hunter and making huge money from em in elite dangerous. Pvpers would definitely be interested in this.
