Give it time, soon item thieves will be put into the same category as PvPers and accused of mental illness and anti social tendencies...

That's a given.

So basically, no different to my real life.

Khm. How you can accuse someone of illness? Okay, you can. But that's really not right.

Item thief in an APEX You are lucky you haven't met more experience CMDR. Fun fact - APEX lift immediately after someone shoot at them. Instead of trying to kill you I would shoot one on the apext to close you the door. Than you would really need to do a PvP.

Anything that can even vaguely be argued as "antisocial", even something as trivial as video game PvP, will eventually and without fail be blamed on "mental illness".

Speaking as someone who actually has a small number of the things of things people like to accuse PvP'ers of, it is insulting.

That being said, I've learned to laugh it off as idiots being idiots. (And yes, accusing someone of being ill because they beat you in a video game is grounds to be called out as an idiot.)

(Obviously I speak about people in general here, I am not saying you've done this.)

You sure? Because I saw shield flash and it did not take off.

Sorry mate, don't know what to tell you here.

You're forgetting that they should be put to the next wall and then shot on the spot without a trial.

Yeah, that's a good thing to do. And I know what you're talking about.

No, I am saying that given the amount of bugs in this game right now, who knows what is happening.

I am not going to doubt you, but I expect the same in return.

Try for yourself , once the APEX takes some damage on shields It lift off and if you manage to land a hit while it descent it will not touch down at all.

Will do.

In any case, I am walking out of this wiser for the future, so all good.

Either this was a bug, or my eyes deceived me. And I doubt it was the latter.

There is another option. The guy didn't had a proper weapon.
27 Jun 2021, 7:36pm
Wait, are you saying there is a damage threshold that it can take before taking off?
27 Jun 2021, 7:39pm
Isn't this what I said?
