Very lame Faction System exploit

By "a lot," I assume you mean 2-3?

Odd as I saw about 3 or 4 [ITAN] pilots and 1 or 2 ungiulded Itani doing this same thing to [THC] this weekend.

I guess I should have just complained about it here (or to the devs) instead of taking action against the griefers (the Itani).

Maybe it was on a "quid pro quo" basis Vardonx?

Non-Consensual PvP is a large part of what this game is all about.

Whining about being unable to pass through a WH, or that someone is killing you repeatedly, is silly. Take matters into your own hands - either get some friends and fight back, or go get a Hog Mk. II or Hornet Mk. II and blow through the blockade at full infiniboost turbo, it's easy.

I mean, come on people, this is completely idiotic. Only complete morons can't get through a player blockade of 3-4 ships.

And if we're still talking about the newbs, then maybe they should stay in nation space if they can't take the heat. Seriously, if they are thinking about going to grayspace and they don't know how to evade/dodge/fight back, then they get what's coming to them. If they don't have a grasp of how the faction system works, they probably should not be going to grayspace anyway.

Grayspace is dangerous. Systems bordering grayspace are dangerous. I'm glad to see it becoming moreso.

Well as I was talking about [ITAN], yes I was still talking about noobs...

Have you tried recently getting through a serco blockade with 30cu of ctc cargo? I'm no noob with ctc. I might not be good at pvp but i am good with running and hiding. 2 or 3 sercos can blockade a wormhole. And if someone is in a moth its even easier.

Bess - I'm talking about running blockades, not getting through in a Moth. Almost NO-ONE can get thru a camped wormhole in a moth, unless the campers are morons.

You wanna get thru, get a friend, both of you get Hornet Mk II's with FC batts, split the 30 cu of CtC cargo, warp into WH sector, wait for energy to get to max, then head to WH at full 220 m/s speed, without stopping except to maybe maneuver a bit by turbo tapping, just in case your opponents have rails.

On the other side, maneuver quickly and make for the jump point as fast as you can. Once you pass them, you'll never be caught, unless maybe they L-Mine Divinia M-14 or they catch you in an ion storm.

The only real danger is an opponent waiting for you on the other side of the wh, where they can kill you while you are helpless warping in.
