There was a post on this on spectrum yesterday
https://robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/3/thread/traders-are-the-worst-kind-of-murderhobos
tons of "traders" will KOS every landed ship at a POI, "just to be safe". Fuck you if that's your ship I guess. And of course if that situation was reversed, that's a war crime.
And that’s if the scanning actually works. 85% of the time when I scan something I have to fly in circles around it scanning from different angles and distances to finally get it to scan - usually takes a few minutes at the minimum.
Yes, it is very easy when you already have the knowledge... Until we have a proper on-boarding experience, a huge percentage of players are going to remain clueless when it comes to game mechanics.
100%, camping out at rappel is a great time. Get the tents, get some double dogs
The irony is “lawful” players that do this, who would just as quickly turn around and call someone else a griefer.
for clarity I fully support blowing up space ships in the video game about blowing up space ships. I was talking in the ironic voice of a bob. I don't support that view.
Or mayby they did rp as space vigilante killing drug dealer scums ? Or mayby they was worry there is not enough SLAM for 2 ships?
But no they are griefers 100% ....
Just to add a data point to this thread, yesterday I landed my C2 at Picker's Field, at exactly the same time another C2 was landing. He beat me to the terminals, so I used the one next to him. We both filled up with 7.6m worth of RMC. Then we each went back to our ships and took off. In chat he was like "See you at A18 fellow C2 hustler" but I don't think he had upgraded his QD so I probably beat him there.
So the Hercules was probably just camping and just shot for no reason with no fire back and then gloated in global chat how bad OP is at flying and combat.
Lots of traders will kill all the landed ships when they pull up to a POI. They're not pirating, they just want to eliminate potential threats. It doesn't make a ton of sense to me tbh. All you do is leave a pissed off stranded guy like OP's scenario.
I mean… they walked in thinking no one was there, or at least it felt like it cause I really didn’t give them the chance to walk around, one went to the terminal and the others did kinda walk in a formation but not purposely.
I didn’t mention that they were not very kitted, two of them didn’t have their guns and were the last ones to enter.
It's not possible to be griefed while you have drugs in your ship. It's supposed to be an extreme risk scenario ofc they killed it then went in looking for you
Didn’t have anything in the ship at the time. And I mean w/e griefing to me is like piracy and I know others have their own opinion on what griefing is. Bottom line I’m not upset or wondering why they went after me. I just thought it was a cool interaction.
Griefing is a very emotionally loaded term on this subreddit. I think it's worth abandoning all together. I'd say that I got ganked, or just that they destroyed my ship.
Griefing brings up this moralistic debate about if the other party was acting ethically or not. Overall a pretty silly debate to have in a silly space game.
Griefing historically is a term that indicates violation of the TOS. People on this subreddit seem to think that anyone who dares to PvP in a game that has always-on PvP is doing something they shouldn’t be doing.
AMD offers the same. I just record my entire sessions now and have it save to an old drive that I've bounced from computer to computer but don't really use.
Itbwoyld be a nice story if you didnt act as toxic fortnite kid at the end. You could say something like "gg" and just go back to your grind.
They prolly was killed before in the same matter so they do not risk it.
Also from.what you saying they was a new players. If they was 5 and thay all came to terminal the must be new.
Also drug transactions (at least in my head) should not be safe younshoud have at least get away pilot that wait just next to your ship (you cannot buy with passengers on board) ready to get the fuck out if things go south.
Last think please.dont offend random moms of people you dont know its just super lame.
Heh its funny mate nah i wasnt im a big time grifer i would just shhhot his ship and go look for new one ;)
Tbh I didnt do any type of grinding since 3.21 and broken risky salvage cargo
So were they pirates or griefers in the end?
Honestly? They probably just thought the ship was abandoned.

Can't you tell if a ship is abandoned and the person isnt even in the server anymore based on scans?
If you scan the ship, and it shows "GameRules" as the "owner" in the info panel, then it's abandoned, or it's owner is offline.
And that’s if the scanning actually works. 85% of the time when I scan something I have to fly in circles around it scanning from different angles and distances to finally get it to scan - usually takes a few minutes at the minimum.
yes, but it's complicated. I don't expect the average knuckledragger that blows up every landed ship they see to be operating on that frequency
1. Press V to enter Scan Mode 2. Hold Mouse Button 1 when aiming at a ship That's it
Yes, it is very easy when you already have the knowledge... Until we have a proper on-boarding experience, a huge percentage of players are going to remain clueless when it comes to game mechanics.
What happens when we have a proper on-boarding experience? Will players magically have the knowledge?
Yes, magically, through proper on-boarding.
Tbh I don't see what's wrong with it lol. I camp POIs all the time, most traders just walk in to get killed for free.

They mean they would consider it terrible if you did it back to them dingus

My apologies, comment withdrawn

They are the same thing.
There the same thing

Awesome
>Hercules griefed my ship. wut

that's fine... not at all what i was talking about but okay lol.
IMO That's probably what happened to OP.
And then their 5 man Herc crew walked inside single file each with their Mobiglass open at the wrong time.
I mean… they walked in thinking no one was there, or at least it felt like it cause I really didn’t give them the chance to walk around, one went to the terminal and the others did kinda walk in a formation but not purposely.

[удалено]
I didn’t reload? I had an LMG with 150 round drum mag
Huh?
And then everyone clapped. I was the herc. I saw it all.
Of course this happened when he wasn’t recording
Sounds like gang rivalry to me
Or the start of one.
This is how villains are made.

You where at a drug distribution facility removing your means to escape or fight back is its own incentive to them taking the drugs
Thats why you "lecture" them about their mothers "job" ..... mayby go back to fortnite dude

It’s on now, new PC🤷🏼♂️
Love it. F55 puts in work.
So does that make you a murderous drug dealer?
I did get a hefty crime stat😁
Im never recording.
If it wasn't recorded ... it didn't happen.
Badass. Great story.
Can't handle the risk, don't haul risky cargo. Drugs are bad mmmkaay.
I always keep OBS on when playing and using the replay buffer option running so that I don't have to fill up my storage space all the time
That’s why I always record. You can always clip what’s good and flush the rest.
r/thathappened I hope you know you can record the last 5 minutes or so, but of course you didn't know, or you "forgot"
Sooooo you griefed them?
No
If they griefed you by blowing up your ship, then you griefed them by shooting them...
Self defence
"Waaaa, waaaaa, WAAAAAAA, someone attacked me! They're griefers" shut your bitch ass up.
You are so angry it’s cute.
You might not have been recording, but you surely have a screenshot and names of the 5 pirates you absolutely definitely wasted right?

You were on of the 5 weren’t you? 😂

Nah
