Simon DaturaSo they basically prey on Quincacondas?


Yeah, aswell. Basically anyone they assume not worthy of the ship they fly.

Luckily a whole wing of 'em failed at interdicting me the one time I met them.

A quick question:

How can I peek into detailed player faction to get specific info of what they were doing?

Thx for any answers.

Blood VipreJust got terrorized by Cmdrs Niatra and Dangerous.com

His souped up Fer De Lance and my teeny weeny Eagle. Bullies... Both of them.
No dialogue, I had nothing of value.
50 million in assets and credits, gone. Nearly four years of an hour or two a week playing time, gone..........

I won`t be playing this in open, ever, ever, again.




Don't blame open. Blame the fact that you flew without rebuy and in four years never bothered to learn basic evasive skills.

And how on earth did you lose fifty million in assets in an Eagle?



Yeah. I'm calling BS on this until there's more details.


No BS I`m afraid..... I was in an Eagle the first gank because I was using it for Planet Scanning Missions. Cmdr Niatra accosted me, blew me up without a word. Maybe I should have just bought another eagle to carry on, but stupid me got me FDL out so I could go hand in the mission rewards. Cmdr Dangerous was waiting, interdicted me, shot at me, and before I could fire back, he rammed me and instantly blew me up. Fight lasted around 12 seconds maybe less.

Yes, 50 million creds. Thats how much I`d spent faffing around with ships, weapons and other gear to get to the FDL... It doesn`t look like it that way, but that is what I term my gameplay in the last four years to be worth.

Anyway, I`m less angry now and couldn`t give a toss.

RenraikuI fly in Open, almost always, except when mission board hopping, never been griefed or griefed myself, I would imagine the only way to lose 50 Million credits in an Eagle would be if you committed a crime in a larger ship and then bit the bullet your rebuy would then be for the ship you committed the crime in, my Vette rebuy is 46 Million. unless you are talking about lost hand ins for Bounty hunting and such.


Exactly that. In this instance it was a FDL rebuy.

No... that's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.

The combined rebuys on your Eagle and FDL didn't cost you fifty million.

You can't just say "oh, it felt like a fifty million rebuy because that's the arbitrary, emotionally-based number that I'm throwing out", and then claim as a matter of fact that that the game cost you fifty million credits.

Please just stop with the nonsense.

Where do you get the 50 million figure from?  FDL rebuys don't get much higher than 10 million credits.  Are you just saying that's what it felt like?

Sorry, I'm massively confused.

EDIT: Basically what Matt's saying too.

Water under the bridge as they say. Well, as long as you continue playing and claw your way back to where you were, you will be better off because you have learned something. Revenge is better served cold and with friends

Hehe. Well said, Ren.

There is a group that does not like the WOJ, or agrees with the politics of the CG's.  So these things will happen.  What is the saying?  One man's terrorist is another's freedom fighter...Is the common denominator of these attacks coincide with running this weeks CG missions?

You do realize you can edit your comments, right?
10 Nov 2017, 5:28am
yeah, I just edited a few...lol

I've been made aware that the sensitivity of others is not at the same level as I may assume.

Listen pal.... I had no insurance left. I was stupid to go out in my FDL with only a million credits.... I had no insurance left, I could not afford to replace my FDL and get back the 55 MILLION IN ASSETS I had poured into my ship and gear.......

Jeez..... Why would I lie about something like this!!!!

What would be the point? Ive cleared the air with Dangerous.com, and the whole debarcle is over with.... Won`t be long before I get my FDL back, I might even stick with a vulture.... I had a lot of fun in that....
