Ballsy move though! Those guys weren't ready to give up, even at the 100 metre mark :O

No he didn’t! Just good shields :D As you can clearly see he smashed quite hard on slot! And if he would’ve been smart, he should have positioned his Vette so that it blocks whole slot so nothing can pass. But pirates are idiots. Thats why they are pirates. Most lousy paying activity in the whole game.

@@timppaUT May not pay a lot of credits, but, it offers great human interaction in a game that can at times, lack it, also the rush and satisfaction from a successful plunder is one of the best experiences in the game, but like everything in elite, it is subjective and looking at a situation after it has happened (from a replay) it is easy to say how things should be done...BUT when you are actually doing if realtime, quick thinking on the spot makes us do different things, BUT to call pirates idiots because the style doesn't breed millions of credits an hour is ridiculous, the cmdr was in a vette so either they are doing other activities to gain their millions or.....this pirate is not an idiot ad has made a great living off what he does.

@@darkphoenix6811 Naah! Obviously he was just some wannabe-pirate that does pirating just as a hobby and other than that he just mostly mine? Thats how he could afford a Vette :P

@@timppaUT Pure genius

🤣

"I made the mistake of trying to run from the lion instead of staying still and submitting to the rewarding experience of being bit"

I stead of eating him it started making love and that's even worse lol

Yeah, the CMDR took the hard road and it paid off. Was it reckless? sure... stupid even? maybe! But he pulled it off! At the end of the day, he posted 1bn credits worth of Void Opals through the mailslot and the pirates went home hungry. But there'll be other hauls. I think about it this way - if every hauler submitted life would be no fun for the pirates! They'd go from adrenaline fuelled pirates to fairly bored tax collectors. So, the chase makes the game... and this CMDR gave them a chase they'll remember for a long time : )))) It isn't cowardice to run... it's cowardice to stop, bend over and unscrew the lube for them so they don't get their fingers greasy.

only an idiot would not run in that ship! play to your strengths - its fast -gogogogog!

GB3770 Exactly. Use those imps for what are they excel: speed. When I was cruising in my Courier in Open, someone interdicted amd tried to kill me. Since I had no experience countering interdictions or submitting then bailing, I learned the hard way that a FAS can punch holes in my hull - but I got away and after a quick repair, I was able to turn the tables against him. When I got my Vette from the chinese market, I went to the engieneers. Not in their system but before that I was interdicted by a Ferdie. I submitted and tried to reason with him in chat. I knew that I have no chance against a fully kitted FDL with my stock Vette so I was sitting in my ship, engines stopped and the adversary CMDR stopped attacking after he saw my message in local and realized that this ship is indeed a “stock” ship with A grade modules, without engieneering, fresh out of the shipyard. So he let me go. Later the ship was blew up by some douchebag when I was done by an engieneer and I was attacked out of the no fire zone.

he stole the opals from the asteroids..

@@GB3770 plus it's awesome.

Depends on the player. Some are "gankers" that only exist to kill others for the fun of it, some are actual pirates and will cooperate with you for a small chunk of your cargo.

My first interaction with other players in this game was dropping into a thargoid signal that already had a player fighting it... who silently turned around and blasted me to pieces

Wait, that's wrong, my first interaction was with a ganker camping out felicity farseer in a suped up 'conda

Sounds like Eve...

Bizarre indeed some would even say cucked.

Pretty sure it was the thing snipers get where they start thinking of their targets as humans and wonder what their lives are like and how their day has been. It's kinda like Stockholm syndrome but reversed.

A problem that we're all dealing with now.

Exactly. So strange. Think he was just trying to fluff up the video with something that he thought sounded profound

necropost - He's encouraging player interaction. We don't want cmdr-cmdr piracy to go away, the game is empty enough as it is at times.

I remember that story it also featured a real legendary stagecoach robber from that time although I don't remember his name

Apartisland IOU pirates do not deserve any money.

@@hunternelson3018 they only deserve what they can catch

I don't play the game but the part about negotiating made me think that I would probably have gone in as a mercenary, asking if he wanted to hire me to escort him. Of course, since he ignored the hails and just ran for his life, that might not have worked.

@@RelativelyBest elite unfortunately doesn't have the ability to transfer money to other pilots so mercenaries aren't really a thing

@@Alucard-gt1zf Couldn't you pay in a cut of the cargo? I figure that has to be possible if you can negotiate with pirates to buy them off.

@@RelativelyBest he could've paid with his cargo, just dropping some of it for the mercenary to take

@@quasur57 oh no, how would he ever pay it off. those littering fines are expensive, no way he could afford that after selling 1 billion in void opals lol

Fined for littering But it’s a void opal. Finded for loitering while argueing it’s a void opal. But… Fined for being fined.

@@dissectingdiy STOP RESISTING

@@dissectingdiy cease and desist! Submit to the fine! 😂

Too bad most “pirates” are just gankers and don’t even care if they get money from it cause they already have a top notch engineered vette and just wanna fuck people over. Most pirates just start shooting at you and rarely get on comms. I’m not gonna risk my cargo to see if they are role playing or not

Not even a wing of Corvettes can take all 752 tons that my Type9 can carry. They can go haul 'Agronomic Treatment' around themselves, I'm not doing it for them.

haha the cynic in me also thought this but I know there are real pirates out there who genuinely wanna role play, it's just that same game is littered with yukyuk gankerbros too. I play in open regardless, it's more exciting to me

Lol. I just had my first player pirate come after me last week. I submitted my ftl from the computer pirate so I could murder them and collect the bounty (I mine in an anaconda). When a couple players come in. Helped me with the bounty and then robbed me of about 1/8 my cargo. I gave it willingly and gladly.

​@Provisional IRA Member Said the entitled pirate, who thinks his way is the only way to play the game, and that it is his right to victimize any and all who cross his path at his whim and pleasure. PvP is optional, and there is more than one way to engage in it without it being on some minmaxing ganklord's terms. But go ahead and stay mad that nobody wants to play with your type, pirate.

Jhonny Slickback yeah but remember he posted on a sub reddit what he was doing. Basically asking to be shot down for the video he was making. I enjoyed watching but knowing he brought this on himself I couldn’t help thinking he knew what he was doing and knew he’d have a good chance getting off with it.

It's about the role-play not just gameplay

This is a video game, not real life, i hate when people compare the two in situations

Well that would be if people played this E:D in a way that leads to real emergent gameplayetiquette

I was just sitting here thinking.... I should create a protection wing with three mates and do transport security. 30% of hold. Thats 10% for each wingman. Just for the RP element and fun

I mostly fly in open, but rarely meet pirates. I do however routinely run into players who proceed directly to destroy my harmless rated unarmed type-9 carrying grain for a community goal. The skill and courage required for such a feet boggles the mind.

Reading the comments tells me I am one of the lucky ones.Playing exclusively in Open I have sold a little under 2 Billion Voips with no Piracy what so ever, not even a scare.

I 100% agree with this

@@virtual-viking CGs are a melting pot for gankers for sure. That's different to the piracy role play thing

@@TheWizardGem i also only play in open, and i never see pirates, save for the ones that hang in high res sites, and they tend to leave me alone.

It didn't even look like he was trying to escape interdiction.

@@mjcollee It's nearly impossible to escape interdiction from players, especially in bigger ships, so any commander who knows what they're doing submits to interdiction, since if you submit you get a much shorter fsd cooldown and avoid getting knocked around and damaged.

or play solo play....

Do you have reverb cascade mine launchers or torpedoes or something?

@@pukalo I do have reverberating cascade mines amongst some other nasty destructive surprises.

What’s ur steam :)

@@hippawable I stream on mixer as MadmanInsane. Been attempting to give away free void opals to new players after interdicting them as my yearly giveaway for Christmas. Its harder than you think.

@@milanondrak5564 I'm building my PC on Jan 1 and then getting started as a new player. Will take as many as you'll give. :D

The Code is just a bunch of gankers who couldn't take a fair fight even if their lives depended on it.

depends on how fast you were going before dropping

But piracy is fun and stuff and it lets them play in a group ect

Might be fun but the amount of pissed off players you might cause is not worth it.

@@Zeckmon3 not if you pirate nicely. Most of the time players will willingly give you a tiny bit of cargo, I normally ask for 1 to 30 units of cargo depending on what ship they have and what they are hauling. I also only pirate people with "competent" combat status or above, as to not get new players out of open. Sometimes the person will even stay in contact with me, a lot of my friends are people I met through piracy! I only use cargo hatch limpets as a backup plan incase they don't give me cargo and try and run. If they attack me though, they can walk the plank! I'm also a fuel rat and help out players so I'm doing my fair share of giving as well as taking

@@databite2549 how do you pirate? I'm relatively new and have only run into a couple players in many hours. How do you even go about finding targets reliably?

@@CB-xp9ew Pirate in known populated systems, at the moment Borann is a really nice target because everyone goes there to mine LTDs, also nice are common engineer systems like Deciat or if you have access Shinrata Dezhra (I may have spelt that wrong)

These types of things arent often.

Pretty much this. The reason that is is because the interactions and Elite Dangerous in general has absolutely zero integrity... The game is a convoluted mix of pointless mechanics, the only REAL thing in Elite that has any merit or value is blowing up another ship... So that's why people do it.. In EVE that cargo has real value to another player somewhere, the difficulty it is to even get ships in EVE, and the fact once its gone you're far more royally screwed than in Elite makes players less "kill it cuz lawls" and interact a bit more realistically.. That and they know they could be staring down a very angry corporation and friends ready and willing to ruin their own day if they get too aggressive... Elite has none of it.. So shoot it cuz lawls and fuck witht heir day is the only enjoyment you can get in Elite.. One of MANY reasons I dont play elite in general.. That and the fact the game literally revolves around just making money.. Making Money is its only real goal and end goal, and once you get the best ship there is literally fuck all nothing worthwhile or meaningful to do with it...

Talking about realism does not make any sense. At all. People reacting more realistically in eve? Seriously, wtf are you talking about??! First: the loss in eve is way more heavy, you loose a lot more. True, I agree with you. But this is exactly the reason why A LOT of people act in evil manners, playing the villain (what you call unrealistic). Wanna talk about burn jita? Wanna talk about stations/gate bubbles? Blockades that had the only goal to blow ANYTHING up, just for the fun of it? Wanna talk about the pod killers? They just wanted expensive pods (with expensive implants) to showcase on killboards and forums. 2. The UNREALISTIC reaction is total bs. It is something that does not have the minimum amount of sense. People act as they want. Eve players act as they do in eve. Elite dangerous players act in other ways, so what? The way they react is real only in the world they are currently playing. Comparing with the real world is simply stupid and of a close mind. Beware, I can understand your fear and the will of not risking a loss in open, and I do not agree with some playstyles, that I find simply stupid, but I just don't understand why you find unrealistic how people play. How do you know how people would behave in year 3000+ in a society based in space stations, with completely different laws! Laws that make ships and assets wanted instead of the 'people', hey, maybe those 'grifiers' are acting just realisticly considered the context they are in! PS People in the real world take advantage of the others every single day. They scam, they murder for every reason and for no reason at all. They steal, they enslave others, they exploit the laws. Kids are abused and tortured. And no, the consequences are often not enough, justice is not always done. And a lot of the criminals are never caught. Think about realism again.

@@ShinigamiAnger lololololololol

@@Cramblit if you can't understand it, it is your problem

@@ShinigamiAnger oh I understood it completely, it was just a whole lot of smoke and crazy though.

Right?

haha. I just started playing a couple weeks ago. I had never considered playing in SOLO for hauls. but its a good idea to be safe when I am hauling 100mil credits a haul.

Me to man

I've been hauling 300-400mil credit loads in open. There's a double void opal spot I know of and the dropoff spot is 1 jump away in a quiet corner of space. The trick is to research and catalog all of your dbl rings and plan your route prior to cracking a single rock. I also engineered my thrusters and shields and I'm fully loaded on ECM's, chaff and point defense.

@XxX Guilty King XxX I would agree with you if it weren't for gankers, I'm sorry but I can't compete with every g5 A-rated cutter/Corvette/FDL that's out to kill me just for fun or for my hard earned painite, I don't have the patience to do it all over again for the express reason that someone who has put in quadruple the time as me got bored. Because of that I stay out of open.

As someone who does. If you understand how many painful hours of grinding goes into deep core opal mining only to lose it all in a matter of minutes, then you'd realize how eventful this video is. It takes about 4-5 hours just to collect about 300 million in opal.

Robert T lmao scrub that’s way too long

@@samualfartinson7437 OK, well at least we know now you don't play, lol. Even in the best farming spots you're luck to find and farm 1 Opal asteroid every 10-20 minutes only receiving 15 Opals per IF you break them perfectly every time. AND that's ONLY if you're not being harassed by other plays.

@@bloodbath-and-beyond of course your a pro right? GTFO here with your I can do it way faster comment! Always a jackass that can do it better!

Unless you've engineered that ship from the ground up for the sole purpose of PVP then they very much are a threat to you. but I admire your spirit lol

@@NickHunter I have some engineered stuff but no where near top top tier in that sense. However the rebuy cost of my ship is over 200 million in it's current state.

@@cookiebandit101 And i call BS on that. A fully engineered Vette clocks in at around 40-ish Mil, how is a Conda supposed to hit 200 Mil, please elaborate on that :-)

@@shaheenaevelga8604 you ever used the tools available to figure out which stations buy for the most? Takes prob extra 30 minutes of jumping to the right station but you get maximum profits. Each painite unit sells for roughly 300 to 400k each and I have maximum cargo space on my anaconda aside from bear minimum limpet controllers. Don't believe me I'll link you a old video I uploaded of one of my good runs. Unless you mean rebuy cost. Mine currently costs 96 mill to rebuy in its upgraded state. It's no where near endgame tier but 90% of my modules are A grade.

@@cookiebandit101 " However the rebuy cost of my ship is over 200 million in it's current state."... "Unless you mean rebuy cost. Mine currently costs 96 mill to rebuy in its upgraded state". Which is it? lol

Even easier if you combine that with the anti interdiction corkscrew

It has been many, many months since I have played E:D, but if I am not mistaken submitting to an interdiction does not impose the much longer FSD cooldown that occurs when you are successfully interdicted. So if your ultimate goal is to run, it is beneficial to submit to an interdiction, immediately engine boost to create distance, and FSD back into the safety of super-cruise asap

big galaxy, I rarely see other players outside of certain popular systems and CGs
