IM CURIOUS WHY AFTER STEALING THE SHIP LOADED WITH CARGO YOU BOTHER TO LOAD THE CARGO ONTO ANOTHER SHIP BEFORE SELLING AT GRIM? SO IF YOU DID THIS TO A PLAYER AT A SALVAGE YARD , WOULDNT YOU JUST LOAD THE ELEVATOR AND THEN INTO THE WAREHOUSE MAKING IT YOURS TO SELL AT YOUR LEISURE AS TO KILLING THE PLAYER CANT YOU JUST LOOT HIS HELMET AND ALLOW THE ENVIRONMENT TO DO THE DIRTY WORK ?

Thank you Lofty for the inspiration, I've been a backer since 2014. I'm your typical Space-dad that wanted for the most part to be left alone...but was forced to kill over 170 players between 2.0-2.6 in self defense. I wanted a life of cargo-running, breaking rocks and salvaging - but Space isn't safe. Perhaps I'll join a Hunter Org and make it safer for others.

I agree with you Lofty. Love your work :) an opportunist after my own heart. I didn't take all the chances I could have in 3.23 but I definitely see where at a much earlier period I could have ended up one of these players quite easily haha. Entertaining to see how easy they made it for you. I also think firmer piracy sentences should be a thing and breaking out also more difficult. Note that I said more difficult, not buggy. Bugs are the majority of the reason as to why Kleschers just a joke right now. You end up profiting more from the A.I than you do actually ganging up on other players. I also think the comm arrays need more security and risk. Its so easy to mask your bad deeds by shutting one down. Not to mention shutting down Aberdeen's comm array makes klescher miles easier...

Wanna run to your cockpit without obstruction and don't wanna pay an escort and leaving your ship open because it saves you 3 seconds? It's a possibility, but you WILL get ambushed most time.

It's not very clever to fly those giant ships solo AND leave the cargo ramp open. 😅 If you are solo, fly solo ships. Problem solved. Like the Nomad or Hull A. External Cargo so you not have to open any ramp, Ladder for Entrance, so nobody can get in. To pirate those ships, you need another ship to disable shields. Mor effort and less profit for pirates, maybe they won't even attack you because you are just a small ship.

Solo piracy isn't as simple. Especially if you're running a CS3 on a full pop server and need to transfer items to your own ship without backspacing. This video to some extent creates a false narrative for solo piracy. Stealing is easy, finishing the rest of the job is a different story. Additionally, it's easier to move around as a crim player with servers as dead as they are. Just my two cents.

Pretty sure he said before that he stopped bounty hunting because the game literally stopped letting him bounty hunt. You lose rep on any “failed” contract, which includes so many ways beyond your control. Shoot the target and they backspace or Combat log before full dead? Failed. Target gets apprehended some other way? You failed. Target afks in armistice until the server inevitably crashes and breaks your contract? Failed. And so it’s possible to end up in a state where your rep is too low to get bounty contracts, even if you’re pretty successful. Which ironically means the most skilled bounty hunters get filtered out of even being eligible, since they take the most contracts and inevitably hit the state Hes in where his bounty contracts have been broken for months.

I agree that piracy is too easy but based on CIG's efforts its by design. They have increased cargo yields from destroyed ships, introduced soft death and now increased time on the ground for haulers. They want more people pirating. This year, they have nerfed mining, bounty hunting and now cargo hauling so salvage will probably be next. Other games have a more vigorous policing force to where some players can be the police that doesn't exist in Star Citizen. A pirate can sit at the same station committing crimes for hours if a bounty hunter doesn't show up; no police are coming; AI or otherwise. Piracy only cost time; if you lose the engagement all you have really lost is time whereas your victim can be out as much as 8 million aUEC so the burden is always on the victim unlike all the other gameloops. There's no rep for piracy so once you clear your crimestat you can charge them for attacking you as illustrated in the video. Point being, CIG codes all these restrictions to the other gameloops but none for piracy; in fact this will be another patch that benefits piracy which reinforces the implication that CIG wants more piracy. Ironically, some players assume Pyro will be a pirate haven. If CIG sets it up the way they claim Pyro will be guarded by gangs and gangs don't suffer thieves in their territory. In many ways, Pyro should be safer to trade in than Stanton, but honestly no one expects CIG to start restricting piracy; they haven't up until now.

Tired of people acting like current gameplay is intended gameplay...it's not. The thing is, a proper law & order system is just not a priority and requires a LOT of other things to make it work, as follows: 1. An enhanced/dynamic reputation system where ALL your actions, small or large, have impact 2. Better servers (which will follow server meshing) to create the stability to stop a lot of dumb accidents from happening that gets lawful players in trouble (lots of people accidently get crimestats due to bugs and bad server performance) 3. With better servers comes the ability to have better and more performant AI logic for NPCs, making them true threats to even skilled players; also, server meshing is required for NPCs to allow for a greater number, thus...NPCs will be smarter AND more numerous, creating not just a challenge but suicide for violent players in UEE star systems with higher security levels. 4. Security levels of star systems will need to be implemented AND enforced via points 1 and 3, and what I mean by security levels are the 3 security types CIG have recently stated at the 2023 CitCon: high, low, and zero security (some will be more of a mix between high and low and low and zero). Thus, high sec will be true safe places where violent gameplay is pretty much non-existent and treated with heavy consequences for those that try....low sec will be a mix of non-combative and combative gameplay...and zero sec will be places where anything goes and you'll have to watch your back constantly. This will help to split players up to give everyone their desired experience without infringing on their gameplay that they want (going to low and zero sec systems will be YOUR choice, so you will have to accept the risks; going to high sec as a violent player will be one's own choice, a choice where one will be annihilated). Without all of the above, pretty much all but the vocal minority of PvPers will not be satisfied with the game and we'll likely get the constant doomer statements that happen on a weekly basis on Spectrum and Reddit. Without all the above, Star Citizen won't really be able to exist as intended.

In my opinion, SC encourages far too much ground-based piracy (or mugging is what it really is) rather than ship-based piracy in space which is where it should go.. The snare mechanic is too chance-based and too difficult to target specific ships. We need a way to detect and track Quantum signatures in normal space so pirates (or bounty hunters) can trap the right targets... Otherwise everyone is just going to continue to camp sell points (it's going to be worse with the cargo elevator selling requirement at scrap-yards).

You need a large squad for space piracy and it pays less. It is much more fun though.
