First off, why would you pick a forum name/alias name that can be shortened to "rimjob", AJRimmer?
But, Kragmier usually only hangs out in grayspace, that is when he's not being annoying in Deneb.
I question what any n00b is doing in grayspace.
Now, getting killed repeatedly by Dr. Lecture is unfortunate, you just were in the wrong place at the wrong time while he acted out his n00b-killing hissy fit he threw a couple of weeks ago.
Don't hate the game, hate the playa.

well..it didnt stay on suggestions or discussion long did it.
maybe they should up the subscription to reflect the amount who stay playing it ?
that too would make the odd moron think twice about wrecking others gameplay.

To be honest I did kill him in UIT space. Grey has gotten boring and unprofitable lately.
It was only 4 times though...

If it was more than that, it didn't show up in my logs. I'm sure if the devs think this is really a problem they have their own logs.
To clarify Leber's definition of annoying, I think he means "When he is not killing all of [Itan] over and over".
AJRimmer, 400k off of 2 moths is a good score for a pirate. I killed a TGFT trader today and didn't get squat.

And that trader got revenge.
AJRimmer:
You say that pirates preying on traders and not hauling off the booty is not pirating... I disagree. When I kill someone I generally camp their goods until they pay up, in this way I get multiple PK's (generally) AND my 100kc "toll." If I immediately ran to get a moth chances are they'd get back first and recover it anyways. If the owner expresses no interest in recovering his/her cargoes I will SOMETIMES haul it off myself... But often will just leave it for the cows. If I liked hauling, I'd be a trader. The money is much better.
So, my definition of pirating is: I hail and demand money, you pay-up... or die. Pay or prey... your choice. What we do with your cargoes afterwards is none of your business.

chillum baba...
i`m not arguing the pirates life...in fact when its implemented i would be one the first to join them.
but i aint gonna sit there waiting in a powerful ship for defenceless newcomers and demand creds 2 secs before blowing them up for jollies.
having free reign to make the whole universe a hell for anyone but a pirate is hardly balanced gameplay.
theres a reason so few do it right now,its WRONG.
whats happening is an exploit under the guise of pirating,and its a pretty thin guise at that.
after all thats said and done,its only 12.99 dollars wasted,no big thing.....for me that is.
but the effect its had is that i wont be putting anymore money into the games coffers UNTIL this is sorted out.
and i`m sure i am not the only one pushed away from the game because of the same problem.
it might be a "kicks" thing for some,but the effect it must be having cant be condoned,for some reason this is the point thats going over the heads of some here.
if it happened in eve online...who cares,they have thousands of members to fall back on.
the few players in there now should be aware of what effect its going to have.
but as i said,12.99/9 quid is nothing,i have paid 40 quid for games that lasted 8 hours !!!!!,so even the 2 days play before meeting this Kragmier character makes the money well spent.
and when it comes down to it,whats he doing ?..using his high rank and weaps to wreck newcomers gaming.
on day 29 i`ll just hand out all the creds and gear to any new members who want it and leave it.
[oh,and pay back those that were decent enough to give me some cred boosts when i joined]
ignoring the trolls and bs,all i am basically pointing out is whats put me off it,if i am the only one put off,then fair enough,who cares...but if its more,its a bit like shooting yourself in the foot.

If you think paintballs hurt too much, you don't play paintball.
If you think the fact that you can be killed anywhere in the universe by a sufficiently skilled opponent wrecks your gameplay, you don't play VO.
Can it be made any simpler for you, Rimjob?

for gods sake lektor how old are you ????,

this isnt a place for flaming,its for suggestions or discussion.

Well, I don't get the whole n00b-killing thing, it's not really much of a challenge now, is it?
Anyway, sorry to see ya go, Rimmer. But before you leave, you should keep in mind that dying means essentially nothing in VO. Just keep trying, you'll get better and eventually Lecture and Kragmeister will think twice about engaging you.
<taunt> Oh, and Kragmeier, I think last night you and I went 4/4. Which is sad, really, considering you were in an AGT+Flares SCP, and I was in an IBG. Perhaps we should set up some same-ship duels? Ha ha ha haaa</taunt>

look man, every city has a "bad part of town"
in some cases, the bad part invites itself to the nice part.
if you get mugged twenty feet from your front door, are you going to hate the outdoors? become a shut-in? maybe get 40 cats? hmmm? well?
suck it up, the factions for piracy would be nice to have for role playing (which is where this thread really should be), but it's not going to solve any piracy issues.
the only thing that having a player-corvus faction is going to achieve is not having to tank your own nation standing just to kill people.
big. deal.

Why do you losers keep responding to this obvious troll?
I mean, sure, keep at it, more fun for everyone and whatnot, but surely, you're not utterly blind about these things, right?

if i didnt have so many friends stateside,i would probably have just had some stereo types reinforced.

My dear chap, AJRimmer**, far from being flame, my last post made a serious point. Since your typing, poor grammar and the thrust (weak though it may be) of your comments all show that you are far from the sharpest scalpel on the tray... I'll lay it out less metaphorically.
Vendetta-Online is, for better or worse, the product of 4 rather opinionated Devs. This is their game, and it is designed to implement a certain ideal. That ideal is best summarized as 'reality'.
What that means in general is that, by design, no place in the universe is perfectly safe. There are no magic zones or barriers or other protective devices that exist outside the general universe mechanics to prevent anyone from doing any particular thing. What this means in specific is that although defenses based on the items available to players will launch to protect people like yourself from people like pirates, there is no special 'safe zone' around stations or in your home space.
So, given that the foregoing is part of VO and an intentional part at that... your whining seems ill conceived. What happened to you is not a mistake. If you want to say "I'm leaving because you designed a game where I'm not protected at stations!", then by all means do so. But complaining about Krag's actions like they're not a deliberately included part of Vendetta shows a lack of understanding about the game you chose to play.
Hence my comment earlier: if you don't like an inherent part of the game you're playing, then find another game.

granted that lecture can be a crude s.o.b. i'm with him on this (by the way... looking forward to the movie!)... life sucks... that's all there is to it.
i read "rimjob" and stopped reading,as insults tend to mean what follows is a mish mash of twaddle and more insults.
so if you dont like the suggestions then why not stop reading them,or is this forum so empty the troll has very few chances to try and provoke people.
you are not he first of your ilk i have met online,unfortunatly the one stereo type of the internet in true,theres always one on every board.
notice i didnt start the reply with DR White ?
quote "granted that lecture can be a crude s.o.b. i'm with him on this (by the way... looking forward to the movie!)... life sucks... that's all there is to it."
not for me it doesnt,doesnt suck at all,maybe its just emo kids think it does.

cute... but if you complain so much.. then the only way that it doesn't suck for you is that your a spoiled little brat who just gets his kicks by demanding the world conform to his delusion of reality... as for me i'm gonna go cut myself like the emo i am... right! that would be the day!
I read 'your' used as 'you're' and I stop reading. Poor grammar tends to mean that what follows is a mishmash of twaddle and further idiocy.
SHHHH kids...grown ups are trying to talk.
