Abusive players.

If this is the wrong forum, please move thread. Thanks.

On the 24/7 RP server, doing a mining run with a friend when we come across 2 Lane Hackers, working with a Junker.

One had a Fighter of some sort, one had a Gunboat, Battleship, Cruiser. Whatever. New to the game, so not 100% sure what all the ships are.

Disrupt trade lane. Fine. Lane hackers do that.

Then they spend 10 mins making us do stupid tests like "Shooting them", which they decide from that "Me and my friend are the same people" I didn't know a English and Belgium were the same place.

Oh, they also decide that only one us were miners. Even though we each had Mining Arrays on, and a Cargo full of Helium.

I don't mind being pirated against, but when someone basically stops you, and has cannons that 1 shot Police craft, then basically keep you there for 10 mins, wasting the 10 - 15 mins we spent mining, and the 15 mins we spent getting to that point. That's 40 mins of our time wasted, just for some children to go "We 1 shot you now." just because they thought we were the same person.

Isn't there some sort of system to prevent people like this from picking on new players, who are just trying to start off in the game by doing mining? Fair enough, you have those Recruit I.D. codes, But The fact they said that "You have nothing to fear from us." then they open fire because of all this crap? It's just stupid.

We were both flying Mammoths with 2 Mining Arrays, and 4 Civilian guns (For fighting NPC pirates if they became annoying), just so you all know.
