[Elite: Dangerous] The Ganker meets the Beluga Liner

Be careful around Beluga Liners, kids. Some of them are piloted by deranged psychopaths!
Special thanks to CMDR zentzlb for suffering an additional 25.3 million credits slapped onto his Anaconda rebuy today. Also thanks to CMDR Blackout_ for the song idea.
Song used: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll

I love how the fact that so few play this game, everyone is so courteous. "Oh my, I didn't notice you AFK old chap. My apologies"

[@alex_inside]

@Iron Fire for real, most tankers just drop your shield in one sec and destroy your hull in five. The most fun I had with one was after I ran out of ammo in my krait and he noticed so we just started ramming. Well a Krait Phantom vs Beluga, no needs to explain who won the ram fight.

[@adambetterley3808]

You haven't met the xbox community. I go fight gankers all the time and they aren't courteous

[@calummcconnell7313]

It’s less that nobody plays it, and more that they made the galaxy SO DANG BIG that you can’t meet the other ppl

[@lennartgimm]

Yeah I got pulled yesterday and the guy didn't say a word. Shields were down in 2 seconds and I tried fighting back but my unengineered pulse lasers did less than no damage to his shields so I boosted away and got out of there with 47% hull remaining. Lucky I was able to get out, and had he introduced himself and said something, I would've stayed in and let himm kill me, but not like this...

[@thescruffinator8830]

@Iron Fire that's a ridiculous expectation, they're pirates, not british pirates.

[@ln9296]

Haha very nice. I always appreciate those who can finish the kill. Its too bad it didn't let you collect my full bounty.

[@CrimsonGamer99]

That's a game feature to keep people from farming bounties. Keeps gankers from letting their friends kill them for a free 100 million.

[@ln9296]

You could not profit from from it. One person pays the 100 mil the other earns it. Besides there are already so many money making exploits anyway.

[@CrimsonGamer99]

@@ln9296 ah well. Nonetheless, good fight, CMDR. Being AFK actually possibly saved you at the start there. I'm used to people flying toward me while getting a lock, but you stayed at zero throttle, which put a lot of extra distance between us by the time I fired. When you saw them coming at you, you turned and bolted. Had you just kept going, you could have gotten away and low-waked at your own leisure. That's a clever trick, I never thought about doing that to combat torpedoes. Just sitting, waiting, then bolting. Hm....

[@ln9296]

Yeah I had multiple opportunities to wake, but I wanted the immersive content. Thanks for providing!

[@SanyaJuutilainen]

"One person pays the 100 mil the other earns it." Not necessarily - you can have huge bounties on 0 credits sidewinder accounts.

[@octagonocologist]

rarely will you find someone as good of a sport to sit there and take the beating without resorting to.. erhm.. other means. my hat's off to both of you

[@PilifXD]

Have never seen this game before, but I'm intrigued and what do you mean? Cheats?

[@octagonocologist]

if you close the game through the task manager your ship just disappears, a combat timer would fix this though.. no idea why the devs haven't implemented one

[@TheWolfiet]

@@octagonocologist im not even a combat pilot and I agree there. Need a damn logoff timer.

[@Vevvev8]

There is if you try to leave the game legitimately through the game menu. Problem is a lot happens in 10 seconds.

[@octagonocologist]

@@Vevvev8 10 seconds is no where near enough. This game needs like a 60-90 sec log out timer even when the game is force closed.

[@WH40KHero]

@@otorvalds Well, to be fair most ships dont use point defense. Simply since missiles arent used that often and you need the slots for more critical parts of your build, like shield boosters and the things you use to flashcool your ship. So there is rarely a slot left which one would fill with PDF

[@Morfik45]

@@otorvalds also, single point defence would do nothing to pack hounds, because of their number and evasive movement

Lucky for me, I had yet to pick up the passengers I had scheduled for a sight-seeing charter.
