player kills on Elite

is it k for a lvl 49 (or 48, can't remember) to just camp outside a station and hunt down low lvl ppl?

'cause it just happend to me... the guy was F/A Hornet on his frekin' eagle.... he just killed me while i was departing... i lost all my cargo (=money) while doing luxiry goods run to tokyo and i was departing from tha research station in kepler system....
i respawned , departed, and here he was again, killin' ppl... no warning, nothing... it wasn't even a PvP...

That's why you have to be quick outside of Liberty, or you'll be dead.

If you make it to a trade lane, you can hit ESC before you hit the end and dock into the lane headed the other direction, to throw your pursuer off. He'll probably see you headed in the opposite direction, but it will take him longer to react when you're doing something he doesn't expect.

You could also try hunkering down and contacting other players on the server. It might take a while for them to arrive, but I think you'd have quite a few takers.

Hmmmm this reminds me of a huge noob trade group doing the hokkaido trade route 2 days ago... they all died, it was fun those big fat freighters *booom* *booom* *kaboom* *"WHO KILL ME????"*

Funnier was the reaction of 6 noobs bitxing and trolling around about that infortunate situation

Being a n00b sucks and monsters like me and NEO are there to make it hard on u

Btw ignorant n00b no goods were on the cargo haul of the PK'er because human ships dont drop anything

P.S. MAX_RAF: you own neo 500k according to the pay or die noob protection program so pls talk to a NEO member to pay up or we'll hunt u and make ur life hell

I know hornet. I usually travel with him and that sounds pretty funny what he did. It still might have also been a little cheap

2 that guy about pay thingy

i think u are mistaken... 'cause yesterday was the first (kinda sucesfull) time i've been playing on Elite...


and i repeat, i wasn't in open space! i was undocking, and he just camped me out there.... how cheap is that ?

if he wanted my cargo ho could ahve just asked for it... if it is 'fun' for hi lvl ppl, then it is not for lo-lvl.... i always hated bullies.... wait till i get da frekin' eagle and codename guns....

Useless opinion moment:

PK behavior should be banned from all 4 main "faction" areas. Why? Because if you're IN those areas, you're either trading (non-hostile), passing through (again, non-hostile), or it's the only place you CAN be, and you're doin' trading/mission behavior.

Anybody who's doing PK in those areas is FAR above their foes. It's no contest, thus I'd urge the code-enorced PK ban.... Doubt it will happen, but it needs to be thought about, at least. : )

He took a shot at me last night also. Waited untill I was in the docking autopilot going into a base and opened up. Luckily it was a bad shot as well as a cheap shot and I survived. By the time I finished my snack break and figured out where to go next (20 minutes) he was gone, so I don't know if he was planning to kill me on the way out too.

Real Classy Cams.

Hey Spliff, question:

Did he open up JUST as you started docking, or about the time the screen shrinks to widescreen mode? (you know, black bars on the top, bottom, can't do anything but watch.)

I'm just askin' cuz' in the first instance, it's a cheap kill, in the second instance, you're invulnerable, so they would just be screwing with you : )
