Random Player Tries to Destroy My Ship While I'm in an SRV

In Elite Dangerous, I'm out in my SRV and get back to find a random player shooting at my parked ship with a PvP-equipped Federal Gunship!

What game is this?

[@FlyntofRWBY]

This reminds me of an encounter I had in the game EVE Online. I was mining with a friend once, just the two of us in a low security system, when suddenly there was a massive spike of people (like 20+ people). When we saw this, we immeadiately started aligning to the station in system to get to safety. I was in a bigger, slower, mining ship, so I had difficulty aligning. Next thing I know, just before I'm about finished aligning, the 20+ people warped in on me. They were all flying logistic ships (healers) and were using drones (5 drones each player meaning there was over 100 drones attacking me) for damage. For a good 5 minutes, they kept me warped scrambled while damaging and healing my ship at the same time. They were just trolling. After a while, I said into local chat "You guys having fun?" To which they responded by taking off their healing and finishing me off. I went back into a station right next to that system which had all of my ships in it, including a pipe-bombing Megathron (a battleship fitted to counter drone warfare). I sat at the warp gate to the system and asked my buddy if they were still in that asteroid belt. He told me they were camping the other side of the gate, and told me not to jump in because I would get destroyed. I said "Screw it, LEEROOOOOOOY JEEEEEENKIIIIINNNNS!!!!" and warped into system. When I got in, they were attacking a poor noob who was just trying to pass through the system, because the alternative route would've taken 12 jumps. I immediately uncloaked to get their agro. Sure enough, they fell for it and sent all 100 drones after me. Once I started taking damage, I dropped one round of pipe-bombs, and every single last one of their drones popped like balloons falling onto a floor of tacks. Just like that 95% of their damage output was gone. I kept dropping pipe-bombs to prevent them from sending out more drones. They kept attacking me for a good 4 minutes until I had them all down to half armor from my bombing. My buddy who was also in system brought in his own logistic ship and started healing me from a distance they couldn't reach. Then a guy I barely knew jumped into system with a Vindicator because he overheard the commotion and wanted to help me out. As he appeared, the 20 people noped out of there because they were already too weak to fight. It turned out this squad of 20 people was from Goonswarm, a really big corporation at the time in EVE. This will always be one of my proudest moments in EVE Online.

[@undeadpeak]

sounds like a goon thing to do

[@sadknife]

How does that work, have they got an infinite supply of drones? Or have they just got a large cache in their ships?

Getting that ship makes the game beyond easy in many ways, this video is proof. You can't get Mass locked (unable to warp) by any ship barring the faction specific large ships (might be wrong here, haven't used the Conda in awhile) and another Anaconda, you melt anything your guns face, you can take hits like a champ.

Seeing as this seems to be a pretty active comments section, if any of you lot are looking for a friendly face to float around space with: I am CMDR Krigherren. I'm fairly active and often take trips just to hang out. I'll even join up in multi-crew just to provide some company. I'm almost certainly not the best of the best, but I will very gladly help anyone who needs it, in whatever ways I am capable. Doesn't matter to me if you're a veteran player with months of play time or if you've gotten into the game just yesterday. I'm not judgmental or elitist about skill-level or ship-setup, so you don't need to worry about being nagged for not knowing exactly what to do and exactly how to do it. I will gladly provide whatever advice I can, if you want it. English is my first language, but it doesn't need to be yours, as long as we can understand one another well enough. I also enjoy taking scarab cruises on Achenar 3, watching a white dwarf sunset and sipping Void Extract Coffee spiked with Lavian Brandy from a Hutton Mug. 26/M/Achenar - Klaxians need not inquire.

:D I thought that might be it. I catch a lot of flak from Danes and Swedes about how there should be an 's', as in Krigsherren. But uh, when I did have the 's', other folks who spoke English as a first language consistently pronounced it as 'Krig Sharon', which does not work for me.

Haha, i never even thought about how English speakers would sorta struggle with that pronunciation, and considering how not cool the latter interpretation sounds, i can totally understand why you took that precaution.

[@Guo1234bob]

Dude a small word of advice. You might wanna get a ship with a bit bigger jump range if you wanna go exploring. Getting back to the bubble is kinda maddening when you are 30k ly out and in a krait mk II. Speaking from experience here.

[@jacobotstot2021]

@@Guo1234bob I can second this. If you really like the Krait. The Krait phantom has the 3rd longest jump range in the game. Then the Diamondback and then the Anaconda. But the MK2 has terrible jump range. Not an explorer ship.

I don’t mind the smaller jump range honestly, yeah, it takes a long time to come back but I just can’t part with it, it’s my favorite ship in the game and I wanna take it everywhere with me. Plus, having a coffee maker right there in the cockpit is a nice addition

It's been a few years since I first saw this video. I'd like to thank you for making it, as this was the first video I ever saw of Elite Dangerous. It's what got me interested into the game, falling into the hole that was videos from and about the game until eventually the steam summer sale came around and I got the game. It carried me through a lot of time alone during the pandemic while everyone was isolated indoors, and was made even more exciting with me watching through The Expanse during that time as well. Being recommended this video now brings back so many memories, remembering what it was like to see everything with the blank slate of not knowing anything about the game, and of being in awe about all I could see you could do in just this short video. Traveling on planets, flying through space, entering and exiting atmosphere, ship combat, jumping between systems, etc. It was so cool to me back then, along with you being able to locate who attacked you and get back at them. Anyway, yeah. I really enjoyed the video, and thanks for being my first experience with Elite Dangerous.

[@zakurn1086]

I've had enough of these jerks who kill without a reason, they just take all the fun and make more and more people go into solo play, so a game that has already a scarce and low population is having less and less people interacting in a good way. Edit: I changed my mind, I don't care about people doing this stuff, it's just a game, you're only losing creadits and a bit of time. It's not like they are unavoidable, there are many ways to not get caught by greifers and gankers and I find they add that much needed sense of danger in the game.

[@chris746568462]

Its because the punishment for doing it is pathetic. Hopefully the new crime system will prevent morons like this.

This was never going to be a massively played game. It's a hobby game for all those who were ever going to be in it for the long haul. Not only that, I would expect a lot of people over the age of 40 (or traditionalists) would rather play in solo mode or private groups anyway. After all, it's not like the prequels were multiplayer. The last thing I'd want is some upstart destroying my ship and costing me the insurance.

Also the rebuy cost is tiny there too. I used to run a PvP FDL around the Eravate system to ward off gankers, I've managed to save quite a few new players from being destroyed. But now because of the new systems I don't really need to anymore.

Fun fact! If you untarget an enemy that has deployed chaff, your weapon gimbals disable, meaning you can then shoot them as if they were fixed! Once they stop chafing, you can retarget them for gimbaled weapons again.

[@an_ordinary_goose]

I typically prefer fixed weapons. Right now, just using burst lasers with fixed cannons and prefer getting the hang of manual aiming - I thought chaff only affected missiles, but now that I know it messes with gimballed weapons, I'm probably going to keep with fixed weapons on my hardpoints for awhile

Hah, nice. I still have no idea why KZbin is spreading this video even to people who don't play the game, but it's cool that it's adding to the community. o7

[@DarkReturns1]

400cr bounty, wtf is that!?

[@StalkeraBg]

Not a player in the game, but from vids i can see it this way: If you attack first a player who is peacefull, you get added to the pirate bounties list.. And whoever kills the player wanted, gets the bounty from a list. In other games players get bounty lists if someone marks you and another kills you. Here its proly system based so it auto lists and is auto payed by the ingame govt or player faction (Just a guess anyway, from other games i played)

[@TomkosPL]

The guy only became wanted when he assaulted Chalenor, which counts as a 400cr bounty. If he had destroyed some ships beforehand, his bounty would have been higher. Simply assaulting players/NPCs is counted as 400cr to avoid people being overpunished for friendly fire incidents, it's the kills that get pirates to higher bounty numbers.

[@DarkReturns1]

Tomasz Karpiuk oh ok thanks. You would think he would still be wanted for his first attack...

[@TomkosPL]

Cheers man. The reason that guy was not wanted anymore is the same as in my first comment: not to overpunish players for friendly fire, a bounty this small lasts for about 10 minutes and to get rid of it, you just need to jump out of the system to be completely clean again when the timer runs out.

[@rusher2937]

Tomasz Karpiuk however, the value of the bounty will be converted into a legacy fine, which you will be forced to pay when you respawn under that jurisdiction.

[@flatmarssociety5707]

I watched this when I didn't even know what elite dangerous was and didn't understand it just enjoyed the ship fight now I watch it now where I have 1000+ hours in it and I can just appreciate it so much more now

[@bigtimeaorta]

Man the amount of thought that went into this. Props

[@kupus6622]

I just wanted to say I been playing elite since original on c64 just got into this modern one, forgive my emotion but it’s all my childhood dreams come true, I played with my dad , me as co jockey bring back some powerful memory’s . I love your videos and can only admire how advanced your tactics are. I’m still just delivering stuff. I was elite on c64. I got a lot to learn. I can now land like a hover fly tho. Thanks for vid.

No honor in the Galaxy. I'm new and I witnessed a sidey shooting an unmanned parked in a canyon - I vindicated his ass. Waited around for commander to text back , rolls up in an SRV and start shooting. Damned if you do damned if you don't. I flew my self to isolation, alone is better than disappointed .

Paracelsus the amount of people that do that stuff is actually few. About 95% of the people i find are nice and a bunch of them i've either had casual conversation with, taught or showed them a few things, where do get stuff, or in one case even played a whole different game together.

Perhaps the one you've dispensed indiscriminate justice on was the actual victim, trying to get some easy payback on the other one you saved. No way to tell if that was really the case, but seems to me like a good explanation for the ungrateful reward you got. ha But knowing how some people behave in games, it's probably still more likely they were both scum.

[@DerekMoore82]

I've had this game for years and I've only ever played in Solo since day 1. I'm too scared to try Open when there's guys like this that can drop an Anacondas shields in 1 hit, that's just so much more than I'm prepared to handle.

great plan and execution! nicely done.

[@medicyukisuna]

I'm surprised he didnt jump out the instant he saw that you were stomping his face in even without shields. Worse yet, he didn't even try to dodge your ramming attacks, even after you pulled them off repeatedly. As far as i know the gunship is relatively mobile (though not at all laterally) so i figure he was pretty new to the game (or to combat in general) despite having access to an engineered gunship. Imagine getting outmaneuvered by an anaconda...

[@andrewcurtin7003]

Nice work man, your super agile in that thing

[@ivojanssen6788]

A player did that to me once, he used a fed assault ship. Was really close with my escape hit me when I was away from ship, had about 20% hull left. Returned and took him down (just like you had a PVE conda and HUGE amount off armor so ramming and firing to take him down) But I just HATE it when someone hits you like that

[@Quidd_BRNN]

Then play in solo or private and stop whining. If you don't like the people in the sandbox stop playing in it.

Ramming the Federal Trios to death is always satisfying! No matter if it's a player or NPC.

Lol “stacking shields and armor” welcome to the WoW of the scifi exploration sim

[@eustacequinlank7418]

So what happens in PvP when you destroy their ship, do they eject and you can use the cargo scoop to take their escape pod and sell them on as slaves to dictatorships? Even though they weren't other real players, that's how I made money in the first game... BACK IN THE 1980's! That'd learn 'em. It would be a great feature to include really. Not played it since the recent update though.

Nice comeback! He wasn't expecting that, I'm sure. The only pvp encounter I've had was when I was flying my type 7 into Cleave Hub and a guy in a Crait interdicted me. I got away but then as I dropped out of super cruise at the station he drops out right behind me, and started shooting me, luckily I was close enough to the station that they were not going to take his behavior lightly. He started taking damage from the station turrets and the security ships shortly before he frame shifted out. I don't know what he thought was going to happen. Lol

[@popeandy6794]

Oh wow someone was really trying to grief. I used to just screw around in a sidewinder for kicks. Waited for the SRV to dock to the anaconda and shot the ship a few times. They boosted into me instantly destroying me. Wanted to suicide back anyway since it was quince.

[@leviathanskiss8720]

Yeah. I like that. Thank you Cmdr for showing me the way because another Cmdr attacked my ship while I was looking at my map, like you, doing your own thing. These CMDR's don't deserve their flight wings.

[@hypnotoad311]

Nothing screams “I’m a virgin please think I’m cool I vape” more than attacking an unmanned ship

[@sam23696]

They need to build a mechanic that rewards players for declaring hostility before they actually fire. This kind of thing sucks, just a player out of nowhere attacking for no reason. They will soon find less people to play with until the servers shut down. But, by far the worse part, the reason I only play on solo is station rammers. Literally every time I play on open at a CG I get rammed by some station rammer, just as I go a hair above the speed limit. I Lose my ship filled with cargo from the station defenses and I now have a bounty with the CG station. The guy was still there when I snuck in, so I had a chat. Apparently enforcing the speed limit on open, in a game with a declining player base is a thing he feels is justified. He complained about people that ignore the speed limit, causing a hazard to players without shields, and yet station ramming is a far greater hazard then letter box collisions ever was. I mean, who the fuck goes into a CG station in open without a shield?
