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.
That would be correct!
I saw you from afar, while in super cruise in your Krait and thought perhaps I should not pursue the haz Rez site and all its juicy bounties in my own “C” rated Krait.
“Maybe I’ll be okay if I just steer clear...”
You and a crew member snuck up on me pretty fast and blew me to pieces in seconds not soon after I dropped in...
Perk of building your ship in the opposite direction of the "meta".
Most PvP types run an overpowered plant & stack as many MJs on their shields as possible.
I prefer cold ships with low mj & as much hull as I can get for the real Jaws effect when I'm out to murder.
Crept up on a few known loggers & blew them away before they could think about closing out.
Might be the only X1 player with a kill on LogCop. A clip I'll cherish forever.
Tip: Avoid CG haz rez sites until well equipped/engineered, my "type" gravitate to them as system security won't help you there.

Combat loggers deserve so much worse than a rebuy screen.
Well done!

One of the first cloggers to suffer the wrath of Fer-De-Rails
Think I've got a Vette kill up on there too. 1 shot his PP.
Admittedly didn't know he was a logger until I went after him a second time & he force closed.

What the hell is up with all these socially frustrated losers? Griefers suck. Period.

Still, here's my take on it:
1. going where no people are, avoiding hotspots.
Yep, that will keep you fairly secure, but why then play in open ? If you stay where you are likely not to see anyone ever, you can as well play solo.
2. Getting gud and learning how to avoid getting killed.
All fine and well, but in case of a CG you also get nothing done if you always have to highwake out, because you got interdicted by a griefer again.
3. combat logging
Totally agree that this is unacceptable.
Bottom line: If you want to play with other players but don't want to get ganked, join Mobius. If you insist on playing in open anyway, make extensive use of the block feature.
And one afterthought: Why is the "play how you like" and "blaze your own trail" only ever invoked in favor of the gankers, emphasizing that their playstyle is valid ? It is by the rules of the game, but so is the playstyle of those who just want to get their cargo delivered in peace. And for that Mobius exists and should never be looked down upon, because it's an equally valid playstyle.
One person's freedom ends where another person's freedom begins.

Nana. you gotta wanna have a task manager open. Combat logging isnt the same if you're being attacked and ambushed unfairly IMO.
Is your opinion of cheating representative of Wolves of Jonai?
No. It's my personal opinion. Although now, i may change my opinion

NumaHow did the Hotel California thread spill over to Inara all of a sudden ? This will never lead anywhere.

You're mudding the waters in so many ways :
You don't differentiate between pirates & gankers...there is a big differnece, and many pirates are against ganking. pirates have their funtion in society, but gankers not.
the advocates for open are not gankers, but also who believe in BGS, Powerplay, or political mind-set like anti-slavery or anti-drugs. For example: The Silverbacks are opposed against Gankers, and many of them believe now in Open....and why? because they know how to deal with interdictions. It's just another skill-set. And they have so much more fun in it, instead of avoiding the issue
At the same time The Silverbacks are also opposed against those who smuggle and trade slaves...and would like to make it more difficult for slave-transporters. and slave-trading. In Solo or private group there is absolutely no chance to hold them accountable, whereas in Open there is always a chance, however small or minute, in spite of geo-or platform differences) (Silverbacks again are in multiple continents and different platforms, although we could use some more PS4 ;) )
Same issue with BGS. Nothing worse than being in godmode and affecting BGS in a way that you are totally untouched. At least in Open there is the slightiest chance at minimum to impede on those who are affecting your BGS. . And trading affect BGS quite a lot. A small chance is better than godmode.
Again, nobody likes Gankers, espelly with starters, they are universally considered bullies and pychos. But that doesn't mean that the only possibility is to hide in private or solo. There are more interesting alternatives, like in winging up, work with friends as escors or support. But also enhancing pilotingskills.
You dont need to be a ganker or pirate to advocate Open, or oppose solo/private
