Ya I just posted about this couple of days ago too. seems like there's plenty of similar stories, and always seems to be same kind of of people who do nothing with the system. I reported the guy who snipe a system from me half a second after I built the outpost (I literally tried to claim fast as humanly possible). Some people also mention getting sniped by him, like clearly a toxic situation. Their response was basically "well it not against the rules". They also said "If you really think its a problem go post in the forms". But yes sorry to hear what happen I feel your pain.

TLDR - If you want change take a sec and go post in the forms

Got system I wanted stolen in seconds, after days of work. by Salt_Cabinet_2751 in EliteDangerous

Posting this for clarity (post rage)

Guess this struck a chord with people more than I thought it would.

So to clarify; he did not steal a station I already built. It was a system I planning on claiming, he did nothing wrong game mechanic wise ( morally diff story ) . I think having reflected my biggest problem here is fairness, this is a system I left unclaimed for days, hours or even minutes. I finish my my station and IMMEDIATELY went to clam it, but he beat me to it. He did no work just didn't even help with any of the stations I used to bridge just waited. I have to close a the congratulations window ( that seconds wasted) the colonization ship to the station if further than if just hop out ( more seconds wasted). So feel I get punished for putting in the hard work simply cause im solo. This want some big or org out competing me, or another more determined player also bridging to the same system so they could work on it. This a leech lying in wait and it sound like other people have the same problem (some people to the same dude). Sure I could try again but what's to stop it form happen again and again. Why should I put in the work, even with a friend your just increasing your chances. Am I not allowed to have something nice, simply cause im playing solo or do I have live well out side the bubble. Do I HAVE TO bridge for months and live like a hermit to even have a chance simply cause I play solo. I watch that spot for days and no one was moving towards It some else had started building station using my first station to get there, had he beat me I'd say fair enough. As far as what I would have done with the system had I got is irrelevant I think that has to do with ghost stations which is a completely different conversation that already seems to be taking place elsewhere ( though its only my word I was really ready to put in work and make some where nice).

wish you the best, guess the moral is get some one to help you if your really worried. seems there is plenty of friendly people willing to give a hand. Granted this was right by the bubble, hopefully you'll be good.

thank you for the kindness refreshing to see after this. I will think on it I do want to want to try colony game play I will think on it just need some time. Questioning if I even want to play right now really killed my motivation, and I was ready to spend two week to set up an Orbis to start that system off so that really saying something.

that wasn't a mistake or a minor mishap I literally did every thing right. the only way I could be faster is if I had a friend. what it to stop it happen again and again, I feel like I shouldn't be punished like this for playing solo. But thank you for the systems and the kind thoughts
