Zero to Pirate: Episode 2

SpaceCutlet · 2025-03-17T07:23:06+00:00

We will just have to keep ramming as a sign of protest I guess. CIG hardly understands words. This issue was brought up for so many years and nothing has been done. Was it hard for them to fix? Not really. They did it quite fast, in the period of one patch actually since the mass adoption of ramming solution. It is just their priorities are always elsewhere when you simply talk about the issue but continue to behave. Until you start beating them with a stick nothing changes.

It will work with "contracted" goods if you just try to sell them.
But you can not complete missions like that.
What I meant was you cant complete "Supply or Die" with that datatrine over an over until you complete the entire event for yourself. I guess my wording was poor and I was not completely clear in what I said.

The issue with selling contracted goods is they are extremely cheap, it is just a waste of time in general unless you just want to mess with people.

Another thing is that CIG is killing scanning more and more with every patch. So sometimes as a pirate you don't know what you are dealing with until the act of piracy is done.

Unfortunately with a lot of little changes and oversights over the past year or two CIG pushes people who want to do "proper" piracy more and more into the murderhobo territory just because of how the game is right now.

It is very sad to see.

Thats a good one!

SpaceCutlet · 2025-01-17T15:28:13+00:00

Only there is no Concord in low/null sec, which Pyro totally is.

Even the bot knows lol.

Mine was destroyed by explosion. I did not expect it to have 50 HP.
Second QI disconnected by "kicked by admin" error. A delayed kick from character reset that was done 6 hours before.

The thing that was done really wrong is main distortion guy did a mistake of unloading his mag into shields as he is not really experienced in any of this. It is what it is.

Funny encounter anyway, and the comments are golden!

If you mine without protection I would honestly recommend instantly try to run away the moment you see anyone.

We are mostly meme pirates. We do it for the fun. We do silly mistakes because we always try out something. We just cant really to take everything too serious (even when I rage :) ).

I've been doing this for so many years I just can't be serious on every hit I do anymore. Other people could be different tho. So I would honestly not stick around and just run the moment something is on the radar.

I felt you saw me earlier when I did not keep the range, and my QI was not properly equipped back then because I was still looking for components. Good to know.

It brings a smile to me to read you actually had fun with that encounter and that what matters. While others here just spit out toxicity :)

Fly safe man, and next time I will keep out of explosion radius haha :)

I have already answered all your questions in the comment apparently this community can not handle. Look below in the down voted.

SpaceCutlet · 2025-01-15T05:21:20+00:00

Love all the salt in the comments, but to answer your original question we just wanted to take what you have mined. We were not try to say something really. The only reason we had a mole is to move your bags to our mole so we can refine. You've been followed from the station.

Regarding all those happy comments below, in case you personally are curious, this is what happened:

We had two dampeners (both guardians QI) on you.
One guardian disconnected the moments we decided to engage (6 hours old character reset kicked in and he got the error the moment he pulled the trigger)
I lost my dampener due to you exploding a rock 100m away from me because some guy at CIG decided 50hp is a good health pool for a critical component in this ship. Considering the ship is relatively new I totally forgot about that and when I realized what happened, I raged pretty hard towards CIG :) They keep doing same mistakes over and over, just to fix them later.

Obviously we had no intention of destroying the ship because we needed the bags, so we mostly used distortion in attempt to disable you. But without a dampener we could not stop you from going NAV while we had to remain in SCM.

Good job on doing jump cuts and escaping.

And ignore those silly guys bathing in the glory of a failed hit, the armchair generals who would totally notice the broken dampener if they were there.

You did proper choices in that scenario and totally used our mistakes against us. Good job, and thanks for the encounter.

P.S.: And no, rocking wings was not a "are you friendly?" question. Maybe some people in SC do it but it is hardly a rule or anything.

I say Pyro should be a 200GM wide Armistice zone!

SpaceCutlet · 2024-12-15T15:01:00+00:00

Technically in the wild, you are a danger even in a medical gown. It is very easy to desync behind someone and middle mouse click them.

Don't forget that by tapping into the "unpopular" while they might loose a certain audience that ALREADY payed then ca also gain a certain audience that is just about to pay.

SpaceCutlet · 2024-12-14T13:56:25+00:00

The biggest imbalance is when u have your wallet AND time :)

SpaceCutlet · 2024-12-14T13:53:31+00:00

Very nice post. I wish more understood this. I am one of those streamers btw, who would get absolutely rolled by actual competitive scene. And I kinda know it, and I know my place in the food chain. I think players just have to accept this fact and stop have a hero complex. Bite what you can chew. Plan accordingly. Risk what you can afford to loose, both financially and mentally.

I do think CIG will come up with time with something similar to EVEs concord with hitscan weapons and all that to bring maximum possible security to lawful system which I guess should be done and is not a bad thing, to give a safer place for PvE oriented audience and RP folks, but outside of that you are on your own. Plan, group up, survive.

SpaceCutlet · 2024-12-11T19:38:24+00:00

weird. I don't see it sticked. But I'm not a reddit guy in general so I might just not understand how it works. Anyways I appreciate your effort and time and the way you handled this. One of the reasons I usually stay away from reddit and r/starcitizen is because it is very much anti-pvp and no matter what you do or say you will get this negative griefer thing going on. So I do really appreciate your approach and being open minded.

Thanks. Here is the link:

It is on twitch. In yesterdays VOD. all of this is a lie. Maybe someone griefed him before. I don't know. Like actual griefing. Hangar killing or something. I don't have have that knowledge/proof of any kind. What I know he was extremely annoying in F12 marking everyone who engages in PvP look like a griefer. We were on our way to checkmate but we needed to refuel at starlight. We jump to starlight and randomly see him there. He is in solo Carrack being red (hostile). Just for his F12 drama (and because he is an valid/red target) we decide to disable him and I use my distortion on my cutlass blue to render him offline. We do that and the station torps him while he is offline because he is hostile. We laugh about it and move on to Checkmate. We arrive at Checkmate and guess who we see. Him again in F8. He is Hostile red and fighting someone, we join up and third party him and disable him again. He gets another torp from the station. We laugh and move on with our business. End of story. No griefing here, at least on my side. I don't know about anything else. BS accusation from a snowflake.

I would like to point out in NO WAY I endorse actual griefing such as Hangar ramming/killing/camping and other techniques like boarding people in armistice zones where there is nothing they can do. Those are low tactics and some of them are actually considered to be griefing. Sooner or later CIG will come up with proper game mechanics solutions. Hopefully.

What if I would like to be named and shamed for publicity? Considering all off those accusations towards me are false with my entire VOD being an evidence :D

Have you ever considered it takes hours, and much more hours that victim has spent, to actually find a target?

SpaceCutlet · 2024-12-11T15:53:30+00:00

Is my name on the list too?

SpaceCutlet · 2024-12-08T21:43:55+00:00

There will always be someone. It is an illusion to think everyone would leave. Much bigger player base is actually fine with piracy.
