AutomaticAddictDangerous criminal activity around “Ebor system” haz Rez site. 100,000,000 plus bounty on the head of psychopath Commander “Jester of Sins”. This is on Xbox.

Jester of Sins is a dangerous player no matter where you are. He is a griefer. If you want to escape him or any other criminal the best bet would be to go into a PG

Nana. you gotta wanna have a task manager open. Combat logging isnt the same if you're being attacked and ambushed unfairly IMO.

BTW., what do you guys think about a Krait Exploration ship?

>being attacked and ambushed unfairly

Except that's part of the game. If you don't want this, go play solo.

It's the same deal with Dark Souls, people just love to bitch and whine about being invaded; truth is, you chose for that yourself. You became human/popped an ember/rang a bell, you opened yourself up to the online community. Same deal here, you chose to play in open. And don't give me this 'Co-op' crap, you can't have your cake and eat it too Heck, in ED you actually can, it's called private mode.

Look, I'm not advocating for the fact we should all become murder hobos. Just saying, they are allowed within the rules of the game, and just as much, there's tools to avoid/minimise meeting these kids of people.

Maybe I'm wrong. But it seems that we can't fight against human nature. Even in a far futur sci-fi story where humanity is facing a terrible threat, the mankind prefer to fight cowardly the weakest member instead of working together against our common enemy.

AutomaticAddict100,000,000 plus bounty

How exactly would you pay this?

That's just chump change for Jester.

That's not the point.

We all know that he can't pay that directly to anyone, so he'll have to use cargo transfer.

If he uses a common valuable metal like gold, that's about 10,000 tons.

Could you be arsed to sit through a cargo transfer of 10,000 tons for anyone's bounty?

Me neither.

I'm fairly certain the 100,000,000 plus bounty he mentioned is nothing more than the bounty I've built up at the CG thus far.

Draxxa KirethYou will see many different experiences and ways... you probably have lost ships for other reasons as well...did that stop you? You learn to evade just as you learn to trade, land or maneuver..

ArtieI think the major issue (from PvE players' point of view) is the fact, that the victim has usually more to loose than the attacker. I am not talking just about credits, but also exploration data, missions, cargo, crew. The attacker choose time, place and conditions whilst the defender has usually no other option than flee (if they have something precious to loose) or try to fight back (when they think there is good chance to win the fight). FD recently changed and improved the crime&punishment, which probably somehow limited ganking of the weaker players/newbies, but in my view it's just solving of the consequences, but not root of the problem. Why the victim should care if the attacker will be somehow punished by the game? It doesn't help them any way.

Then there is no surprise that people not very interested in PvP, new players just learning all the game mechanics and dangers or even PvP players that currently have something important that shouldn't be lost by any "unwanted interaction" choose the Solo or Private Groups. Simply because the punishment for death is too heavy. I see it quite wrong. The risk/rewards mechanics should be still present, of course, but when some action takes you back hours, days and even weeks in your progress, I don't think it's fair.

It must be pretty frustrating especially for the new players, looking forward to living galaxy, meeting people in stations, etc. and then their experience is ruined by somebody killing others just for fun. In their early ship, low knowledge of the game and low credit balance, they have no chance and even don't know what they did wrong. It has a reason why most MMO games have a PvP protection for low level players. Elite has none, except Solo/PG game modes, which may significantly reduce the impression of living galaxy.

In our eyes of experienced players, it may seem not that bad. There are many things we are simple used to over years, but for new players is Elite quite tough game and I see no reason why anybody should make it even harder for them by nonsensical kills. It won't help them too much to get better, so early in the game. But it will definitely help them to leave the game or at least leave Open.

So, I think some love and respect for new pilots is always good. We all want them there, flying in the game and helping hand and/or kind advises without a hidden tone "you are stupid" are something that everybody must appreciate.

DarkDiablo10Wow you're selling me dreams. I played Elite alone since 2015. I give it a try in open just 3 mounth ago. And I must admit that I quickly why I was playing solo for all these years.
Cause as a casual gamer with no skils I painted a target on my ships by flying in open. And it's even more with my current fiting ranks in my newly transfered account.

Cause to be honest, I still don't know where's the fun in playing a week in solo to get enough money to pay the rebuy that you lost during saturday night.

I will fly around your system though to see if I can find some friendly folks.
