There r lots of ways to protect ur credits. The moaners on here know who the pirates r, if 1 comes along just f12 BEFORE u r shot at. Its not hard, ask kb32a, he did it a while ago when attacked.
All i ask is that u stop ur moaning and engage ur brains for a bit, then we can all enjoy this very good, FREE game :D

And all u planet hoggers ..... stick to planets and keep ur space opinions to yourselves.... You know who u r :D
well said :)

I believe ran into a station ( which I was trapped in for eight long hours ) but anyway...basically the very same thing...

If you see a person that has a reputation of pirating, F12 or head for the nearest station if you think you can make it! I agree 100% with CB...If you don't like the way the game is right now, post a suggestion to fix it and continue playing, or leave space altogether until your suggestion is implemented. no need to complain so much...after all, its just a game. :P


p.s. Chat servers down.

Here Here very well put the last two posts.
I the Sandgroper have reset 2x in this newbi killing SAGA. 2x I have been able to get past the cargo transport. ( Man what a slow ship, you have to push it to make it go. )
I have never been blown to bits in space, I have been shoot at 2x and been able to get away to live another day. The first time lady luck was on me side. The second time was one hell of a time. I was at the rainbow part of the system jump, there is only 2 things you can do. 1-keep going with the system jump or go F12 and log off. I think I lost me cargo. ( Yep you guess right I was carrying narc's. ) I believe there's not much we can do about it, seeing as red alert was active. A system jump is the same as hitting F12.

I the Sandgroper is a Freelance Trader. Now I know when to trade an when not to trade. Knows when to take a change an when not to take a change. Plus I like to play cat and mouse with them so called pirates.

One tip I will give you killkill, Take notes and learn how the pirates play and may be one day you too will be as good as the Sandgroper and some of the other longer playing players.
Foot note: I may not have been blown to bits in space, but have been blown to bits in a space station while trading.

PS: I do like resting in them hollow space stations.

the thing is who is a pirate? peeps become pirates each day, and u could also be a random victim. I always try to avoid pirates, by landing on planets when i see something suspicious. then i just have a lot of time wasted going to some random empty planet.

i think its safe to say that everyone who has played this game has lost something at one time or another, but how many of us have you seen crying about it on the forums? i started playing this game in january of this year, and i have been able to explore the galaxy, complete the quest and save up a few credits along the way, by not crying and just playing the game. how much more simple does it get than fly from point "a" to point "b" with cargo? its not hard to evade if you are willing to fly like your asleep at the "wheel" because no ship can turn on a dime, and if they cant see you,they cant shoot you. i agree with biker, if you dont like the game, dont play the game, but please dont try to convince us that we are a problem with the game ( keyword: game). this is supposed to be entertainment, not see who can be the biggest baby. and just so you know, not all "pirates" are bad, just as not all traders are "innocent bystanders" . weve all seen noobs killed in uneven fights, but if you were when the outmatched noob attacked, youd know why some of them were shot. its just a game, and if you think its unfair, wait till you grow up and meet the real world adults live in everyday.

Maybe you could come along to fight nights kilkill, they were designed for people like you.
They are a game within a game where you lose no credits,bounty doesnt change, might cost you a few missiles.
You can lern to fly evade and fight in a completely safe environment and have fun and have the chance to win things :)

I know that you didn't say that. Nor do I think the game would be better without space, I just like the planet aspect more... Thats just me though..... Sorry if you mistook my message from the earlier post.

im not crying. whoever said i was? the only thing i'm trying to say is that their is an unfair advantage to traders in the fed systems. i understand if i got shot down in another non-fed system (as long as i wasn't carrying noob cargo), but to be shot down right next to zion with 12 waters? i would that that pirate was very poor, or very rich with nothing else to do. depending on the situation, i like space. but if u pirates dont want the rules to change... well, traders will be a lot harder to find.

Oh, ok. BTW, i'm re-arranging the treaty with SR, looks like it shouldn't happen again and if it does, action will be taken, we just need some proof though, screenshots would be useful if you can capture them?

And that's the whole problem.
The game needs new players.
If new players keep being killed before they can do anything useful, they will quit the game.
While it may not immediately be a problem, there won't be enough players in a few months if no new players are staying.
People leave the game, and other players join the game.
If the new players don't stay, people will only leave.

Fooli; is it too much asked to just ban weapons in the starting systems until you have a better solution, then once you implement the better solution remove the weapon ban?

It's not much to ask at all. Unfortunately it's not up to me, and it's not something I can do.

I was going to implement the new System Guardian stuff in at least one of the starting systems as a temporary measure, but while mit has helpfully provided a list of commands to do that, he hasn't explained how you initialise that system in the first place.

He's back from the US at the weekend... I'll see what can be done as soon as possible.

IF U MOFO PIRATES WANT ME TO GET MOFO SHIELDS< STOP MOFO-ING KILLING ME!!!

Retry_1, i mean u must be aa serious w**** to friggin kill me when i was trading 12 mofo-ing water and only .1cr left over!! Not only that, u have 51000 MOFO-ING creds!! no wonder noobs a friggin leaving space because of u a-holes!! i cant even get to 150cr without being MOFO-ING shot down!!

Same with u lordmyrth, i pray that the game still has friggin players after u go friggin noob killing!! TU needs a reform in the weapon rules if it WANTS to keep it's players/traders, and u pirates should agree 2 or u wont HAVE any MOFO-ING thing to hunt at all!!

-Edit-
I think zar is right. TU would be better if there were no weapons in the fed systems, like he said. then traders would be able to excel and eventually pirates would have better "kills"

P.S. I changed this to stop some confusion about wat zar said. srry!!
I'm up if anyone wants to give 'em a serious gang-bangin' :wink:
