You think you are getting revenge by blocking? Blocking breaks instancing so the more players you block the harder it is for you to instance with anyone. The ganker isnt missing out on not getting to gank you a second time. However, this is exactly the attitude I would expect from Ghost Legion, complain about gankers and do absolutely nothing about it.

First, Gankers know exactly how the block function works.  So, if they want to club baby seals and they are being "hunted" by experienced PvP players, they will simply block those players so they can continue to play ED the way THEY choose to.  And we know from other PvP'ers doing the research that is the case.  Gankers aren't interested in a fair fight, nor are they interested in real challenging PvP, if they were, they wouldn't be clubbing baby seals to begin with, but would instead be seeking out real challenges.

Your advice seems to be relegated to advising someone new to the game to go through the entire grind for engineering, at least a week or two of dedicated effort, grinding the credits for building a shipyard of PvP dedicated ships, building the dedicated skills for PvP, and then trying to hunt down a single or small group of players, months after the original gank to get revenge, just to find they can't instance with them anyway or that they have already gotten bored with seal clubbing and left for other games, or blocked the person because they realized they were being hunted.  
Of course, your advice has nothing to do with the fact that you are a PvPer, right?  You just have their best interests at heart.

Second, the schoolyard taunts won't work on me, I am over the age of 12.  Good luck trying that with someone immature enough to actually rise to the bait.

Third, when you start receiving flak, you know you are over the target.  My advice stands, the best revenge is living well.  And in ED, that means playing the game the way you choose to play it, enjoying every minute of what is, IMO, one of the best values you get from any game, and not letting any other player spoil your enjoyment.

i am so with this. It is Bullying (this is when you are ganked with no cargo and no weapons) - there is no fun. I got ganked early in my ED career and it kept me off the game for a couple of months. What annoyed me most is there is no real punishment for the GANKER. Also the ganked end up loosing more (in my case I was back to 10 grand and my side winder (which luckily I had A rated and stored) had it not been, then i probably would not be in this game now. What also leaves a bad taste in my mouth is the gloating afterwards. ( i know i can ban these players but I feel that this is counter intuitive to the game) so I play in solo as I gather resources and skills.

You are kind of missing the point of this game. I hear so many people complaining that gankers dont get punished for their actions, it is up to the player base to punish the gankers. If half the people I hear complaining actually learned how to fight and joined together against the outlaws the galaxy would be a much safer place. Saying "gankers bad" on reddit or on Inara or on the forums does nothing for anyone. Here go join the fight.

No you are missing the point - if I was pirated for my goods then that is fair, I was pirated for my goods and I decide too fight and loose then that is fine and good. But I f I have nothing to fight with or be stolen off there is no fun for the receiving player. It is you (the ganker/griefer) imposing your playstyle on players who are not in this game for that gameplay. I have other games for the violence inside me. Just being ganked or griefed because you can do it, is no justification for doing so. With all these new plyers since the weekend, the gankers are having a field day ruining new players experience which in turn is making some of them leave the game. This is not good for the game. The saddest thing about these gankers is that when the odds are against them they run. Basically gankers and griefers are the highest form of cowards.

SakashiroNot trying to discourage you, but you will get tired of the procedural galaxy. Just a matter of time.

I concur. For me the breaking point was going to Semotus Beacon during the Great content drought. After covering some distance you start to feel the urge to get back... Especially with so many action and opportunities going nowadays in the bubble.

Get the free Epic account and have a Bubble and Explorer account... problem solved?

EpisparhFrontier gives free purple paintjobs on their twitch stream.

Never seen that many elite players at the same time, close to 11k on twitch.

They gave purple skin for ships, srv and purple color for engine / weapons - you could claim all of those by watching their 1 hour twitch program.

There is another planned for 2PM ET Thursday and they might give something else.

ArcBlade72Hey guys. I finished in the top 75% of the cargo delivery mission in the last Community Goal. I had already claimed my money before Fdev extended the rewarded FSD from top 25% to top 75%. I have not seen it, so I flew out to Spirit of Nysa, it isn't there. How do I get it?

It should show up anywhere under Outfitting | Stored Modules - if you don't see it maybe raise a ticket to fdev?

I found it. I was flying a Python with a 5a FSD and G5 Long Range and the new one shows as the same. It gives the bonus of the faster reboot as well but that doesn't show up as a mod. It already came in handy, I was running rescue missions in Antropos and a ganker came after me and rebooted my FSD, it took 2 seconds and I was able to jump.

Does engineering improve it further or does it end up nerfing the module?

You can add an experimental mod.

ArtifactHunter_A little off topic, but looking for new pilots to recruit is an absolute *pain* when you can't find anyone. The only pilots I've run into both had squadrons, albeit too small to even create a Player Minor Faction.
