Trigger happy |PX| mercs - I AM VERY ANGRY!

There are 10 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by Michael.

    Ok I am angry at 2 |PX| clan members, who I will not name drop (you know who you are) for blowing my character away even though I managed to call a parley with them. I ended up on a planet and they were waiting for me to undock and collect a bounty on my head (which I did not notice appearing there...) They came along guns blazing and I just managed to tell them to hold fire and dock with planet... I explained to them I was a smuggler char. and it would be profitable of them to allow me safe passage for some of my wares/creds... I had a bunch of guns on board I had spent a LONG time obtaining and had just been farming some nomad guns when they turned up...


    So they seem to hear me out and we agree they would be given my guns, kill me for the reward and then give back the guns, I could only take there word... But the first instance I open the trade window I see I have something extra to trade over in my inventory, something that was not there on my ship as far as I knew, it was something like a 'civilian Power generator' or 'power plant' and I have never come across this situation before...


    So I wanted to ASK these two |PX| people what this thing was, knowing them to be mature players who probably know EVERYTHING about CF. BUT NO! Instead in the middle of trading them my guns, as I am franticly typing in a messege they BLOW ME UP! comletely going back on there WORD and HONOUR!


    I tried not to get angry but I told them they had just made an enemy for life if they did not plan on replacing my destroyed goods, so they agree to kit me out with some top guns, which is much appreciated... and probably more than makes up for the lost wares...


    My main concern here is there is very little leeway for new players to get along in PvP/RP situations, I can't type in immediately "Hold your fire! I'm a smuggler and I may as well just GIVE you the bounty in cash now rather than destroy what is basically a roaming Caravan of trade-able goods!" I even had my smugglers licence mounted...


    Does it mean anything to anyone the idea of engaging in CONVERSATION and not just in COMBAT? We are civilized space faring folk so where's the common courtesy of letting a guy explain himself OR ask a bloody question.


    and last but not least: Don't be so trigger happy in future mercs! you might end up blowing up a smuggler! save that for the fuzz :D

    Dear Smuggler King,


    the nature of Mercs is saving lifes (their own or the customers life) we normaly don´t talk that long as i´ve heard you prefer, which is the possible nature of a smuggler. It may be that after an endless monolog and endless time in a transfer where no stuff was exchange one of the Mercs lost his patience after half an hour escorting and helping you for a 1 Million bounty on you.


    Also you forgot to mention that it was an accident and that you got 4 of the best pvp guns instead of your crappy codenames and nomad guns - as a sorry. And ofc. i heard that you was very happy about the exchange, cause you just wanted to sell the stuff you had.


    For the rest: Being a smuggler and offer jobs (if so) will not protect you from being hunted.

    Before you write pls read:
    ... "Also you forgot to mention that it was an accident and that you got 4 of the best pvp guns instead of your crappy codenames and nomad guns - as a sorry"
    and he also got 2 Missile launcher.
    Total cost ~ 5millions. Bounty = 1million.
    So you can see that it is not a matter of "$$" its fun.
    All Clear?

    Yes, it's fun ^^ based on $ at the beggining(or as excuse to fight :D ).... anyways Cyborg shouldn't have posted here just for that , there's nothing wrong there except that Cyborg likes to complain about RP :D


    Have fun mates !

    Well it's just that I don't PvP... yet. Maybe Discovery would be better for me... they take ages to do anything sure but thats because they talk a lot of RP before fighting or doing something major...


    Well I thought times had changed what with the people I heard asking for more smugglers and 1.8 coming out... but it seems I may as well avoid everyone ingame except for other smugglers lol


    You guys don't seem to realise that not everyone on this mod has a a stash of 400 weapons, so in my case those weapons I did have were hard earned, alone no matter how "crap" they may be compared to DK weapons etc.


    I also don't know where the bounty came from... I didn't notice something like that, it's never happened to me before...


    I gotta ask now though after today, is there any point to playing this mod if you don't pvp?

    Try to chat with a pirate that is taxing u, or run with a ship full of BMG next to cops. The result is the same. Cf has his own RP rules. We like pvp here.
    when i start had pirates everyday taxing me, cops chasing my sos and sol runs and merc hunting me. So what did i do? Go to discovery talk about weather or learn how to fight.
    Your choice m8. U can always play Single player :)

    Please search for a server with no or few participants, then the danger of being shot down is very low or better play SP.
    Then the entertainment value is unfortunately also very low. But it is better if you stay and reflect about social interaction.
    Something went wrong yesterday. But all was said, yesterday in game and today in this thread.
    Try to have fun and do not mourning over your lost pixel guns.

    The answer to your last question is “absolutely”


    There is a large number of non pvp players in the community – a lot of them like trading, some like smuggling and some like exploring.


    There is a number of players that are learning how to pvp as well.


    Reading all the posts here – it seems the main thing is that you did not have control over this situation – and something like that takes getting used to if you have not experienced it before.


    In CF – you will find a great bunch of people – and you have noticed that the mercs involved even helped you out a bit afterwards which is saying a lot.


    Remember – space is not safe and always keep an eye on local –


    If you ever see a merc in the same system as you – always consider you maybe their target.


    Also – it is quite fun to be chased.


    And there is a number of people here (non pvp ers) who have built a huge reputation as being diabolically difficult to assassinate.


    Best wishes.

    Well, the main part of this game is to have fun... while you were chatting here about how good or bad things are... I was playing the game, spent over 20 Mills giving out to about 4 low lvl players, trained 2 clan members(UR and ANC), killed a pirate until he got lvl 49 (nearly no credits :D ), gave him some credits too as gift, not as tax... the server gave me the title of "godlike" as in all this time I didn't got killed... but I did killed many... and afterall I had fun for all this morning ^^ And my opponents/victims too.


    You should play more and talk less ^^ talking doesn't bring too much fun.


    I'm a busy moderator with some bussiness in this portal... so I have to stay arround here more than in-game, but you don't. So take advantage of that ^^ before this thread gets closed :P
