EpisparhItem 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.

This I took as meaning they take off after taking one shot from any type of weapon.

Read the following message. One hit from low damage weapon won't do. I've hinted you enough. Experiment and see.

Most experienced commanders would leave their shields up and guns out, because they know better than to take anyone at their word in Elite.

But alas.

... And always eyes on the other commander preferably out of their sight. This Executioner moded scope is such nice thing.

Gavin FreemanI'm not sure how many people have picked up on this, but found a rather entertaining means to create some "emergent gameplay" yesterday.

I was at a surface settlement looking for an item for a mission, when another CMDR showed up. I told him that I was not interested in shooting him, as I was just there on a pick-up mission. Fact he turned his shield off said I was in the clear.

Then I noticed that he entered the power building. I followed him, whilst trying to feign an appearance of looking for an item, and when he went into the reactor room and put down his power regulator, I swiped past and grabbed it, having just before called in Apex, and ran like heck.

Think it took him a moment but the fact he started shooting at me indicates he worked I just stole from him, and likely landed him a fine and mission failure.

10/10 would PvP steal again.

I still have the regulator BTW.



LOL Nice work Commander Freeman!

KurakilSo the Engineered DSS CG said it would be available at all human tech brokers "by the 25th" but I don't see it anywhere so I'm assuming they really meant "sometime on the 25th".


How much better than a grade 5 engineered DSS is this anyway? Is it worth upgrading?


just got it and it offers a 40 percent increase range and area. I have not yet tried to use it yet though.

Some retain confidence and Trust no matter how often they get disappointed. And over time one can separate those who are trustworthy and those who are not. Elite isn't as bad as EvE in regards to Toxicity of its Playerbase and those few who are you can block and that'll be that.

We'll agree to disagree on the "hinted enough".

In any case, I appreciate the wisdom now that you have made it truly clear, rather than "hinted".

I had few encounters with other CMDRs on foot, most of the time me observing them from scope what they are doing thir stuff. It is funny how they react when they see "hi" or "o7" in local chat. Most of the cases they are going straight to the ship/Apex and leave. I had also few occasions in which a ship entered my instance while I was doing my business in settlement. This situation is more dangerous because of the dumbfire missiles but so far no one attacked me or my ship.

With that being said one random CMDR replied my "hi" and after short conversation I understood that he is farming OPs so I gave him all I had in my inventory.

Was in Open lately and one of our Pilots mistook me for a NPC despite my SRV being out and visible. First tried to shoot me in a Container (was a Irregular Markers Threat 2 Instance) and then blasted my SRV, landed and came out with his own and continued the barrage. I left the Instance, came back and found myself locked inside the Container with no ways to open it so I opted out by blowing myself up via Grenades. Got the message "You were killed by Soandso" and made for a good laugh in the end

I prefer to do the Mat farming in PG and Solo since you need quite a bit of stuff (for now) and I'd like to get my G5's in due time. Down to 4 Weapons that still need the treatment, rest is done (each of the Suits at least once G5).

One more thing - don't try to get the Magazine Size Mod, its currently bugged and will eat your Components and not apply the Mod to the weapon.

I recently added a scope and magazine on my 2nd Executioner without any problem. There is a known issue where the mats do not update after you applied a mod, hence if you try to apply next mod it might show as you have the mats but you actually do not have them. This is why some CMDRs thinks their mats were "eaten" but the mod was not applied. The solution for now is to apply relogski after each mod applied. This will refresh your mats to your current one after previous mod was applied.

If you menulog/clog/disconnect/crash in container, you will end locked in container. If you insist to do relogski in Open dismiss your ship so when you got ganked you will spawn in the ship in orbit. (I am not sure how this works if you leave the SRV too. EDO handles different rebuys for vehicles and on-foot)
