' Wrote:One of my pet peeves is with the CD spammers. Don't mind you using one to drop me from cruise. But when I'm no longer in cruise and I don't attempt to get back into cruise ... its time to start role playing. Drop me out of cruise and start talking. Gotta be a reason you dropped me from cruise. Way too many people I encounter drop me from cruise and go immediately to the guns. And I think they have their CD's directly connected to their guns because when they pull the trigger both the guns and the CD's fly. Can we get some role play? CD me ... then speak with me. If I do not attempt to jump and run or try to fight you ... why do you need to fight me? If I have illegal cargo ... role play with me and be patient ... I can't go anywhere. You've caught me and I'm either gonna drop the cargo or get destroyed. Don't be so impatient that all I get from you is "I said drop the cargo ... bang." You don't gotta keep my shields down ... especially when NPC hostiles are about.
That's the problem Baltar. Until you show or give a very clear indication (speak and stop) to that guy who just CDed you that you are not just going to pull a fast one on him, he needs to assume that you might run.
A silent trader who just sits there might bolt or might be just impatiently for the CDer to initiate the RP. But the CDer just does not know.
That's why, when flying a transport, I personally type something in regard that we can take this easy buddy. I'm not going anywhere. The CDer has so much more stuff to do than the guy who just got stopped. Check the ID, cargo, armament, contend with hostiles etc.
That's why people use those /setmsg. Even as a trader.
