t want to come across as bullying someone. I was in the Army, sometimes I get carried away. Still haven't transitioned to being around civilians. No excuse though. I apologize.

Lilith2980Oldsasquatchso stoked for the 28th. looks like we have two tribes of thargoid. on verry agresive and one that isnt. but no less meen if provoked. fly safe cmdrs
I advise you watch this video. Not sure where you're getting the idea there's two Thargoid tribes beyond the green/red ships.
From here: http://elite-dangerous.wikia.com/wiki/Thargoids
Presumably, the video seems to show a Klaxian Interceptor. Not as friendly as the Oresrians we've encountered in Witch Space. Either that or the Oresrian was just tired of running... :-)

You may not want to use it as an excuse, but knowing many people who just left the Army, it's a good one. I didn't serve myself, but I know it's a hugely different culture and takes time to adjust. I didn't personally feel bullied, but thanks anyway, the explanation helps. See you in the black! o7

And tons of empty place to make Paintball/Airsoft games as long as there is not too much wind.
For me Personally, I live in the North-East of France, far away from this shit place that is Paris, surrounded by forests, the weather is totally random and my neighbours are Belgian, Luxembourgish and German.

Whenever I log in to see something like that I half-expect to find a mass grave of hammered posts.

Jack DekerdtBattlestrikeValidiumWas playing the other day running some cargo missions. And I admit I'm pretty lazy so I use a docking computer. While my ship was on automated approach some little fly of a ship did a sucide run on mine and blew up. Next thing I know all hell broke loose and now i'm wanted for the murder of the sucide fly and my ship was destroyed it cost me all my cargo and a 40mil rebuy.
I had this happen on two occasions while landing on a planet base last week. I think the ships were 'Security vessels' or maybe a skimmer like vessel. I thought it was just me being clumsy but now it's happened to someone else maybe it is a bug. I'll wait a while before I report it. It cost me two ships (over 4 days) and all the cargo.
Nope, I'm guessing this has happened to just about anyone who has used a DC, my last, a while back, auto-docked me into the station wall; total face-plant. Had gotten very close before when the DC decided to reroute me last minute due to other traffic but that time around, BAM! Cost a pretty penny. When I first started ED, a couple of years ago or so, the DC was VERY wonky. It is better today. I am about done with it for a while. I just bought a 'conda and was not used to the size so I DC'd a few times to get the feel. Sorry that happened to you.
I never use a DC so that's not the problem. I think it's the 'security vessels'. I had another narrow miss yesterday. Of course I get the fine for their mistake. It has only happend on planet bases. As soon as you get hit they fire their missiles and you are distroyed in a split second. I am now approaching wide at a planet base and avoid flying over it.

If using the DC then do not speed and the station will not fire at you, the main reason it fired on you is because you were possibly speeding at the time. Sometimes the DC will boost if you are too far away. Best to get as close as possible whilst not speeding and then engage the DC. Hope this helps

AesirAnd quince will be crushed in2.4. I guess we will all have to start playing the game, 1mill at a time haha
There are still low-effort, high profit techniques out there if you look. If you share them, people whine, they get nerfed. Just look around and you'll find some.
EDIT: Don't just look at profit, look at time. Some great money makers pull less than 1m, but take 5 minutes each.
