Any idea of the proper wing or noble faction I can report such activity and potential earning opportunities to?

Someone must be up for the task!


There are no good guys in Elite - it ain't Star Trek

Hey do guardian FSD boosters stack?
18 Jul 2018, 4:59am
No.

But they can be Neutron boosted now. I have a ship with a C5 Guardian booster that can jump 285Ly after bathing in a Neutron tail.

Times have sure changed in the past couple of years.

There used to be eager bounty hunters roaming in open.

Seems things have gone south since then...

@Automatic....talk to your officers, you got about 24 allied wings wih the 104th, see if they can train you, help you, support you, or escort you... ....i think we're done here.... It's a freeheaven here on Inara, so you got many responses here from many different angles...i think the general consesus is that Jester acted within the realms of the CG...

talk to your wing how to handle it further...

Being a bounty hunter doesn't make you a good guy. It makes you a guy who kills for money. If some bad folk are paying top dollar to see someone spaced, most would take the contract.

was already thinking around something in the same direction..."one person's bountyhunter is another persons's griefer" :p ... often it's 2 sides of the same coin, but then paid...

I won't deny that popping trade ships in a sidewinder was fun. There was no payment, only joy.

Edit: Oh wait, we're supposed to be hating gankers? *walks off whistling*

LyonhaertI don't suppose anybody's mentioned that the 100 Mcr bounty on a player is moot because there's a cap on how much another player can claim of 4-5 mcr?



Nope LMAO

Nox, if you still reading all this I dropped you a DM concerning an allied faction on your inara that allows logging.


I got it the Coalition was ended directly after. Thank you for the heads up

And who exactly are the "good guys of Elite?"

Edit: Oh okay just delete your comment then. That's cool.

I think the crux of the matter is players flying their engineered FDLs and murdering new players, giving them nothing else but feeling of wasted time and money. The wasted time - this is what I felt that as a guy who did a save reset and earned around three million in bounties with random folk met in Open, then got killed at the doors of safe stations due to player interdiction (NOT CG SYSTEM!). Going into PG or Solo to cash in bounties, out of fear of getting killed like that, isn't the answer.

Sure, Elite has subtitle Dangerous for a reason and we could easily brush off such cases and tell newbies "git gut", further discouraging them from going into Open Mode.

But I've been to the community (for several years) which went that way. Now it dies out of lack of new blood, whereas bitter vets simply squish weaker players out of boredom, lessening interest.

Sounds good! I’ve been playing this game long enough to know how to avoid that type of confrontation, skills are just a bit rusy.

Hell, I’m not against pvp, just my ships are showing their age and aren’t currently engineered enough due to times changing and multiple updates.

I just thought I’d take a chance here, as I just joined Inara a day or two ago. I had no idea the guys that got me were so active on this board as well! It’s been interesting and educational conversing with everyone as well as getting the chance to hear the story from all sides of the coin. My first post even got me scouted by the 104th, so it wasn’t all that bad!

Anyone who I may have offended, I don’t have any hard feelings. Can we put this little incident behind us guys?

Thanks for your insight and patience! Respect!

I'm not sure he does, tbh.

He makes out his misfortune to be the responsibility of others; not once does he question his own actions. There is so much you can do to put yourself in control - choosing the appropriate game mode for your playstyle is a great start.

If you're willing to learn, you'll never meet a more helpful Elite Dangerous community than the one here at Inara. The diversity of player types here, from gankers to explorers, means that someone will be able to give you help and advice.
