The BHG|Core players really should know better than that. Next time it happens, make sure to get screenshots of the minimal engagement notice (printscreen button). And send them to Agmen, he will give the Hunters in question a stern talking to...

Thanks Hawkwings. In my anger, I didn't even think to get a screenshot. Also because it happens so frequently. I appreciate that there is an attempt out of the more honorable players of this group to rein in the bad apples and I thank you and Agmen for that immensely. You represent your guild and faction well.

*breaths in heavily* It's a toughy...A corsair doing his own thing next to a BH doing his own thing is considered oorp. So not engaging is quite oorp, id expect the BH to engage, but not with just "engaging." Ive had this happen to me many times like this one time I was in alpha with my corsair, I strarted RPing with a couple of OCs and without a word they just came and attacked me full on with supernovas while I was not even moving (dishonorable) and owned me :(. Ive also done it a couple of times I guess, its hard to know how much RP people want untill PVP.

While I agree with the idea that a Corsair and a Bounty Hunter being in close range and not at least engaging in RP dialogue would be a bit OORP, in all the instances I'm referring to, I've been many sectors away from the hostile ships who've ultimately engaged me. In this particular instance, I was originally the max you can be away from a player to spot them on your radar (10k, I think) and he called for backup and started racing towards me to which another BH came to help him kill me from across the system. I'm just happy I managed to finish my mission before they killed me. I did lose all the loot from all the NPCs I had killed though.:(

It is bad luck for you. I did a lot of missions in Gamma, Minor and around, and I had never problems with other players. I do some metagaming trick before I take mission - I look who is in the system - to avoid problems.
A few times I saw hostile player on radar during mission, but always they lived me alone. One time a player wanted to pvp, I asked him (//..) whether he could kindly wait a while and he went away.
This is sever full of people, and you can not play alone, there is always risk to meet someone who want pvp only. This is part of this game.

PvP is fine. Ganking me while I'm trying to finish a mission and calling in backup on top of that is rude, disrespectful, dishonorable and makes the game less fun. Part of role playing is dialogue, even between hostile players and I am rarely, if ever, given even that simple courtesy.

Someone who do not want to fight should not be ganked.
As a corsair you will experience more hostility from players than in most other Factions.
This also attracts players who simply want to destroy you.
The best way to solve your problem is following tyro's advice or to report very rude players with a screenshot.
If you want to do your missions in peace without interferences you better not stay for long in battlefield systems like Omicron Delta with a BH and a Corsair base in it.

Thanks Leadcrows. Which faction(s) do you believe have the least hostility towards them? I'd like to know people's take on that.

Corsairs? You can hang around in Order space since there is an alliance. Omicron Minor I mean. It is also one step away from Delta.

OORP and bad quality RP engagements happen all the time. Even though players with a sense try to prevent it, warn others and sometimes, just for the sake of correcting the on going dialogue, start a new RP in system comm, it happens.

Even though, it doesn't happen much to us Order| since we operate close to our home systems and usually we can call in for backup if someone really wants to mess around, we keep ourselves safe. Of course sometimes major battles happen, RP or just for PvP but they are of less frequency then Corsairs.

Even when we operate within the house spaces, places that we are not wanted due to diplomatic reasons, we get a RP first from others. Perhaps its because of the faction fame.

Corsairs are, on the otherhand, known to go for a battle before RP in general, from what I can judge over community dialogues. Some of them rock with RP but most of the good RP'ers I saw around were from other factions, including BHG.

On the other hand, it is strange to see a Core player to do that cause, even though sometimes the quality drops on both sides, we have a rather good rp dialogue with them and bloody battles in the end hehe.


As Tazuras suggested, I strongly agree on using the print screen a lot, even if you don't use the recorded footage. Better be safe than sorry.

I was thinking of spending more time with the Order.
