Cause they know that who ever is still there if they reply, gives them a feeling of power.

I kept one like that for a hour until he got bored enough to bugger off. I was just alt tabbbing from IRC to FL to add a reply to his questions every 5 mins or so. He kept launch killing my Drone, so I wasted His wasted existence for an hour atleast. Stopping other traders getting the same treatment for that time anyway.

Very good to hear (mostly just a BUMP I want people to respond to this!)

Han_solo base camped me for about 45 minutes tonight on Elite., so I know where you guys are coming from. I don't mind being hunted for something I did to another player...but he pot-shotted me because my group member in another system wouldnt drop his cargo...so I became his next target.

Now, I'm all about the straight duels and the fact that, yes, since PKing is allowed it will happen, but base camping is just silly..let alone those who harass you while they wait outside the base.

It's a shame that so few people can ruin the game for the many...just because bullies think it's fun to sit outside a base for close to an hour so they can have a shot at killing players who have no time to fight back.

...real mature....

Power gamers they all are!

Yea...but it's still a load of hooey!

Correction required here.

You we're red to Han_Solo, who was engaging police and Dauman fighters at Pirna. One time you undocked, you got blown to bits, you we're red, simple mistake. Every other time you undocked, had time to maneuver.

In fact, how many times did you make it *into* the tradelane and reach Bautzen, or even the berlin JG? Talk about base camping, hah! You should talk about how slow you fly!

And what did you expect. You we're teamed up with a guy loaded with diamonds. He ran away, and Han_Solo probably figured you're friend would arrived to save you.. he did have a big mouth afterall

When will players realize...

It is so much easier to just drop the cargo !!! Save yourself and the rest of the community loads of trouble! Drop your cargo and everyone lives on to play a happy game!

Besides this is the complete opposite of this topic. The only people flaming in the event you're trying to explain was crYptO and Ekee-Cunt! The ones that we're trapped! Han_Solo remained silent nearly the entire time asides from three or four repeated explanations that the diamonds would solve the problem.

Can't say i have ever been camped like that myself, but i can see where your all coming from it must be very annoying and piontless. the one that got me was a complete suprise attack, there i was flying my drone (empty i might add) when i spotted a titan flying the opposite way, didn't make any contat what so ever then all of a sudden from behin bam there goes my shield and bam i dead. . time to respawn.

With the control Yoke in one hand
and the throttle in the other. live for the day for tomorrow may never come

Well i'm just fed up, when I get killed, trying to get to Omicron Gamma through the jumphole, with NO cargo, and I have not annoyed ANYONE. he jsut killed me for NO reason at ALL.

eh, u guys sayin "u give us what we want and u wont get ur life made harder" that's bull, i bet u guys couldn't actualy kick sum real @ss.

by the way i mean u guys who camp bases just fo DIAMONDS, that means u han, u wana do somethin about it?

Actually smelly...I don't fly slow at all, if anything my attempts to get way were only thwarted by the fact that in the firefight the base and about 20 NPCs went hostile...making escape a bit more daring. My typical response was just to sit there and let him have his fun....since there's no penalty for death, why not let him dish out what he thinks is "fair" compensation for Diamonds I didn't even possess...seriously...he should tell it as it was. Besides, I told my buddy to do his own thing and let me take the damage...I'm not a gang tactic kind of player...I like to fight one on one.

Sticking to the topic, I used this example as a clear cut reason why base camping is just a pointless and immature way to "win". The only thing the person doing the killing wins is the satisfaction of seeing "Player X has died" in red on the screen. Whereas the player who's getting camped gets to waste time wondering when they can actually enjoy the game again. It's a bully tactic, plain and simple, and Han_Solo fit that category at that given time. He might be a great player...I don't know...but I certainly fail to see the skill any player has who blows you up approximately 15 seconds out of dock.

Of course, if admins played a more actice roll in server maintenance and would place strict rules of engagement and conduct, maybe we wouldn't see as much base camping in the FL MP Universe.

"True friends stab you in the front"

Perhaps someone should create a well organized clan whose purpose is to destroy those who play unfairly and base camp people. Sort of like revenge but also showing them what its like to be the one on the run! If there is already a clan like that then I might consider joining but only if they actually do what their purpose is.

"You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose, but you cant pick your friend's nose."

Han Solo - "What an incredible new smell you've discovered [!"

hehe there's already a clan exist that matched wat u expect ewok.
