Special ID.....Terrorist-Phantoms

[ProwlerPC]

Let's see I ran into Dreygon's Mon'Star twice, one of them was quite comical I had bit of lag so his ship suddenly showed up and scared the H*** out of me.
I met the Phantoms 3 times, survived twice because I escaped and just recently found out that I missed out on a lockdown of Sigma-13 while I was at work. I guess that would be my regret.
I can tell you though, going into a system mid-way through a Phantom raid gives a grim view. But for the most part by then they are already engaged in furballs.

There are things in the 'verse that simply want to bite your head off. Launch at your own risk.

Also, you'll find that terrorists vs traders comes down to one thing: stop and kill the traders as fast and efficiently as you can, because if you try to type out RP, they'll use that chance to hit cruise and escape. Simple as. We have to compensate by not serving up any RP, but hey, it's how things work. Not the ideal way, but what can you do?

What can i do......well ask the community opinion like i do it here,thats the only thing i can do

What I'm saying is that its as much the traders' fault for wanting to escape more than they want to RP than it is the terrorist's fault who is forced to kill fast instead of RP. What are you going to do about that? Bashing the terrorist for reacting to how he has to fill his role doesn't seem the solution to me.

I remember the first time I ran into Mon'star. I had never heard of that ship before. All I saw was an Outcast Dessie waiting on the other side of a jump hole with an Outcast tag. I was quite upset when my ship loaded with cardi went boom. I didn't understand that one at all and I thought it was very wrong. I've since learned what is going on and I do my best to avoid those situations now. It's not always possible, like I said, if they are on the other side of a jump hole and you fly into them.....oh well.

The bottom line is that flying a trader or a smuggler is just no fun if there is no one to hide from or sneak past. Yeah, I get blown up sometimes, and I don't always like it, but it keeps the game interesting.

I've not had my trader phantomed...

I actualy look forward to it, given I know that I can expect some damned good RP should I initiate it. If people are in a big furball or trying to take down idiot silent traders then go and make their day by engaging them in roleplay. Rather than just trying desperately to get away and then whinging about how it disrupted your perfect trade.

Enjoy the novelty of it.

KOOLMO! You're needed!

Funny you submitted this as a sanction report and nothing happened. Nothing done here was done wrong. You weren't even killed, you docked with the planet before that happened. Now from the screenshots you submitted, your angle of entry suggests you were in fact docking from run in, rather than undocking as you suggested. So we're inclined to believe you're being a bit fuzzy with the truth here. Stop.

And on the subject of rainbow loadouts, my fighter has Krakens, my LF has wyrms and my bomber has ... krakens. Nothing rainbow about my loadouts.

Can we keep this alive so as to ponder over our various ship-go-explodey encounters with Special ID holders? Pwiddy pwease Ms Del?
