Don't Get CAUGHT by the Mirai Guardian in Star Citizen 4.0!

[@Oridiian]

Piracy is fun in SC, but I agree that taking the Vulture was a dick move. Also targeting prospectors / ROC miners - these are just people wanting to chill, and they literally spend hours grinding for a pittance. Its sort of an unwritten rule to only pirate lazy cargo traders trying to buy low / sell high, or drug runners etc.

[@Hyena_One]

I've been pirating for many years and never heard of such a rule and am rather curious where one can find that. Rather I go by one where I don't hit the same person if I got them before and always give them a way out first. I appreciate the comment and criticism regardless! Thanks!

[@2324freedomgundam]

@@Oridiian so let me get this straight. CIG implementing a game loop specifically designed to go for high value industry players to make a profit. And you're telling me that pirates aren't supposed to go after the very people they make money on? That's like pirates in the Caribbean not targeting traders/merchants in the Caribbean because they aren't bothering anyone and have valuable cargo.... It didn't happen.

[@Cain3697]

@Oridiian Cargo traders buying low and selling high are hurt much more by pirating than salvagers/miners. They have to invest capital up front and that investment is gone if destroyed or stolen. Killing miners and salvagers only robs them of time. Did you used to date a cargo trader or something? Is that why you hate them?

[@Brian-us2xz]

Looks like seal clubbing.

@@Hyena_OneI agree

[@drksideofthewal]

Cool thing about the Guardian is it actually could have taken some of those boxes, if you didn’t have an org on standby

[@Hyena_One]

Yeah, it's no Cutlass Blue, but it can get the job done in small quantities lol!

[@grast5150]

Nah, just a newbie salvager which was not prepared. he should have had a QT point already select and kept his eye on radar. As soon as you arrived, He should have already started running and QT awayed before a disabled. Plus why is he salvaging near a QT point. There is a reason why Aaron's Halo exists. But good to YOU for offering an opportunity. He was scraping panels and that is basically free money. So for the hassle, I would probably just pay. Any then leave, sell, and get in my Gaurdian on a little bounty hunting mission. Later.

[@Hyena_One]

NORMALLY, I'd QD, hail the victim and make an offer but was hit with the QD bug... figured I'd at least give him the chance. It's something I always try to do and he still would have made ~100k+ wherever he sold it. I got a feeling they broke VoIP though, a friend I pirate with occasionally was not heard in VoIP and I got a feeling this may have been the case here as well. I need to do more testing. It was quite unfortunate that our paths crossed however! Thanks for watching!

[@grast5150]

@@Hyena_One Oh, I did not realize you had the Gaudian QI version. Well in that case only two options, either pay ransom or hit the destruct while I salute in my ship. Later.

[@RORO-xu4gr]

What do you think about the QI? I can’t get over the fact that it has a size 3 Dampner but only gets 500m more than cutlass blue that’s a little ridiculous to me what you think

[@Hyena_One]

I really like it!!! On paper it has the same stats as an F8 in terms of maneuverability but it feels a lot better than they portray. The S5 weapons are great and the interior is everything I'd want. As a pirate, it's not something you'd use solo, but it's a great asset when you have a group. It can have the same missile loadout as the Cutlass with more firepower but I agree on the QD size and the distance. At the end of the day it's better than nothing but we'll see if it ends up getting rebalanced if players give good feedback. I am just very happy it can be entered via the front as well and it fits in the Polaris when I pirate with my usual crew. The base variant is a little noticeable in terms of more maneuverability but not by a ton - even if you use the QD a little, the Qi would be more than enough. I am sort of contemplating making a review video even though that isn't my usual content but it would give more variety I suppose. If it's something people are interested, I may put a review video together :)

[@RORO-xu4gr]

@@Hyena_One yeah I would be interested in seeing a review. I usually use the mantis my favorite ship of all. But sadly I found out the my ruined the interdiction with server meshing. Of course we want server meshing but still my favorite thing was to sit there in deep space and wait catch them when they think they got away. Quick question if you don’t mind giving this info away how are you finding these miners and people salvaging? I’ve learned the haulers routes but salvagers and miners can be anywhere

Definitely NOT a pirate org, I am just their local hooligan!

You are truly strong and courageous, and honorable. It was that guy's fault that he was flying a ship with which he couldn't defend himself. And it was indeed his own fault that he spent time salvaging cargo that you wanted.

[@Hyena_One]

Lol I suppose he didn't know it yet! 😅

[@RedDwarf1]

What a stupid argument!!!

[@drksideofthewal]

Damn, if only there was a way he could have known that piracy is one of the core advertised professions before installing…

[@Tu49]

So is this the normal or QI version of the Guardian?

[@Hyena_One]

This is the Qi - Unfortunately there's a QD bug with all the ships equipped with them atm. Overall a great ship and feels more maneuverable than the stats show on paper!

I would have gone for bigger fish than low end materials that are not worth much.

[@Hyena_One]

Low hanging fruit on the way to a PvE bounty? I'll take what I can get 😁 RMC is still quite valuable even after the nerf, otherwise people wouldn't bother salvaging it in the first place.

[@j.d.4697]

He can't handle bigger fish, he can only handle the tiny shrimp.

[@tragickai5856]

50k would have been a steal to keep his cargo

[@Hyena_One]

@tragickai5856 Yeah, but it also would have been a decent grab for me since I really wasn't looking for him at the moment and could have done my mission. Very shortly after selling the server hard crashed so I missed my chance of doing the mission 😂

[@picapaukrk]

What a trash move. Until now all pirates avoided Vulture, like in this case you can play card "hire backup bro". Kids buy shiny ships and thing they are cpt. Sparrow now lol.

[@Hyena_One]

Why would any actual pirate pass up on a Vulture loaded with RMC...? Free money essentially. Until the RMC nerf, a fully loaded Vulture with a full hopper would have got you near 500k which isn't a bad score by any means.

[@picapaukrk]

@@Hyena_One why would? Because of honour? Kids on the streets are also free money for you I guess? Vulture has no possibility to defend itself, no one also will spend hours assisting it in panel salvage. Also now when there are 5x more people in shard even yela belt feels crowded. What is 500k when Reclaimers could do 8-10 mil? During the golden salvage days there was only reclaimers taken as a target. But now maybe with their buffed shield they are to hard and low morals guys look for "easy money".

[@ozramblue117]

@@Hyena_Oneyes how dare you pirate a ship that had valuable cargo! Also that $50k offer was a very fair price.

[@Hyena_One]

@@picapaukrk I think you misunderstand just what a pirate is... if honor is your angle, I easily could have just blown him up and given no options... 🤷 I've pirated Reclaimers as well being just as easy to take over but I won't just pass up on an easy score because something "can't defend itself"... Thanks for watching!

[@Hyena_One]

@@ozramblue117 I suppose I have to challenge an entire armada for a singular bottle of that delicious Cruz Lux if I want to be considered a REAL pirate!

[@tidussawyer3206]

is why you just don't solo salvage, bring a buddy to do the work in the rear and split profit with em so you never have to leave the pilots seat, if he was in the pilots seat the second you popped on radar, and was smart, he would have been gone with zero chance of being caught

[@Hyena_One]

Exactly! Especially since my dampener was glitched and I had no means to hold him there! Pretty sure he finished up down there and got to the pilot seat right as I opened fire.

[@spacecowboy4804]

Have not gotten into piracy yet, but I am excited to give it a shot!

[@Hyena_One]

It can be fun, yet challenging at times especially when faced with glitches. Takes quite a bit of patience and some prep/basic knowledge to get things done efficiently but it can be a fun time! Thanks for watching!

[@RORO-xu4gr]

It’s fun but tbh you don’t make that much money some days you go without making anything instead you spent preparing for a target that never came. I play solo and it’s not as easy as most other people that complain about pirates say it is it actually takes a lot of coordination and ridiculous amounts of patience. Playing solo just hope the guy doesn’t have friends lol. And bugs will happen I’ve taken a whole c2 of RMC when it was a thing and the guy dysnc over to my ship and killed be without me even noticing even though I’m staring at his exits on his ship

[@Hyena_One]

@@RORO-xu4gr These are all very good points! A lot of people see videos and get the gratification of instant action but piracy 99% of the time is anything but that with the 1% being what was portrayed in this video where I just stumbled upon someone. Some days with high value targets, I can make over 10mil in a single day or 10mil in a week. It's varies a TON! In the end, it's something you do because you genuinely enjoy it, and not only about the money. I enjoy the hunt, sneaking aboard ships, or blitzing a group of people with my crew when I am not solo. For many of us it's about the PvP, but I often remind people that there's a difference between griefing and piracy, so if it's PvP you want, at least make an effort to make some kind of gain from it. I appreciate the comment and you taking the time to watch! :)
