I AM LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW!

There were some good PVP battles going on in Sedina B8. Good fights. I died twice. Killed Ayn 4 times in a row. I was enjoying it.

I go back to the station to repair after a fight. I had just killed Ayn.

He had set the station as his home station and was there waiting for me. As i was docking he spammed missles and i blew up. He escaped the strike force.

I bought back my ship and left the station. He was there waiting for me. He launched missles. I blew up again. He escaped the strike force.

I bought back my ship and left the station. He was there waiting for me. He launched missles. I blew up again. He escaped the strike force.

I then challenged him to a duel. He never accepted the duel. Instead, he launched missiles and I blew up. I hadn't even gotten 50 meters from the departure station.

I bought back my ship and tried to again. I wanted to actually fight him. I challenged him to a duel. He did not accept. I was about to dock with the station when he came up behind and launched missiles. I blew up. He escaped the strike force.

I am now broke.

Does anyone else find this funny? Because I find it pretty ridiculous. I'm laughing so hard.

ok, all anger aside, my actual post is just that the issue of spamming within the Station Boundaries needs to be fixed.

It undermines the game, and insults the players.

There should be a limit of how many kills that can be made within the no-fire zone, and after that limit the player would get a permanent faction hit (and a big one). It is too easy to just run from the strike force (if you're not doing anything else).

I agree with the kid.

It just bothers me that now I have to spend hours trading to earn my money back.

I don't know about spamming missiles. What does this mean? I mean i've fought someone who used missiles before and i thought all you had to do was maneuver out of the way? There's something i'm missing right?

when you come out of the station and repeatedly get killed KixKizzle, there isn't anything you can do, the people are aiming at you before you come out, they have full ammo, you don't know what direction to look, boom, you die.

fighting in the open with missiles is easy to dodge, but when they know where you're going to be, you have little chance of survival.

I've ran out of a station with someone attacking from the second I came out before. I survived. Then again I have about a 50 ms ping and they were using energy weapons. Still though it's not impossible to dodge this. Dank musta been in a fat ship or something.

Guess what!
I'm not laughing.
Anyone crazy enough to keep coming out to his or her doom in an expensive ship is a very sad person. It's not nice to make fun of sad people.

Genka I wasn't insulting Dank by saying that he used a fat ship........

This, IMHO, is *repeatedly killing a player* without giving him any chance, which is also known as *griefing*.

HC.

I WAS insulting dank by implying that repeated suicide-by-spammer is not what I consider to be the smartest of the options in such a situation.
I guess I did a bad job.
Jan 02, 2005 Dank link
Genka-
I guess your right. I should have just stopped playing for an hour.

Yeah, that sounds fair.

IF your being griefed all you have to is play while no one else is on.

??????? Does anyone else think that calling this suicide is absurd? I was in a station, not unprotected space.

Wouldn't it have been easier to keep going out in EC-88s? Eventually, he'd get bored and wander off, and you wouldn't lose any money.
Jan 02, 2005 sarahanne link
good idea tyrdium. but the other message is how do we report true griefing?

There isn't much to stop somone in a Centurion from doing just this, since the strikeforces aren't really good enough at catching up with them, even when they have ultra-power infini-boost that no other figher has, the extremely light cent makes for a great ship against people around stations.

Yes, there is appearantly a faction drop thats permanent if you repeat kill people inside protected space, see my report about it in the bugs forum.

I'm not alltogether sure I agree with the current means of enforcement in the game, but....

I believe that if you attack someone it should be a 5 minute ban from the station and marked as kos, if you kill someone it should be for an hour.
Jan 03, 2005 Tertior link
the good news, is that you kill ayn in pvp 4 times and his 2 only.
for this he's come to come worse.
It's a Serco attidude
Banzaiiiii

It's _not_ a Serco attitude ...

Tertior, do me the favour and stop your Anti-Serco-Propaganda.
