Pirates need to work for your haul as much as you did getting it. If they can't catch you, that's on them. There is no honor amongst thieves.

Yeah, the CMDR took the hard road and it paid off. Was it reckless? sure... stupid even? maybe! But he pulled it off! At the end of the day, he posted 1bn credits worth of Void Opals through the mailslot and the pirates went home hungry. But there'll be other hauls. I think about it this way - if every hauler submitted life would be no fun for the pirates! They'd go from adrenaline fuelled pirates to fairly bored tax collectors. So, the chase makes the game... and this CMDR gave them a chase they'll remember for a long time : )))) It isn't cowardice to run... it's cowardice to stop, bend over and unscrew the lube for them so they don't get their fingers greasy.

GB3770 Exactly. Use those imps for what are they excel: speed. When I was cruising in my Courier in Open, someone interdicted amd tried to kill me. Since I had no experience countering interdictions or submitting then bailing, I learned the hard way that a FAS can punch holes in my hull - but I got away and after a quick repair, I was able to turn the tables against him. When I got my Vette from the chinese market, I went to the engieneers. Not in their system but before that I was interdicted by a Ferdie. I submitted and tried to reason with him in chat. I knew that I have no chance against a fully kitted FDL with my stock Vette so I was sitting in my ship, engines stopped and the adversary CMDR stopped attacking after he saw my message in local and realized that this ship is indeed a “stock” ship with A grade modules, without engieneering, fresh out of the shipyard. So he let me go. Later the ship was blew up by some douchebag when I was done by an engieneer and I was attacked out of the no fire zone.

For some reason I'm reminded of that one old Lucky Luke comic where Luke is hired to protect a stagecoach transporting a huge cargo of gold through essentially lawless territory. Much to his annoyance, the company he's working for makes a _very_ public statement about the fact that they're hauling a huge fortune, ostensibly to make the point that they don't fear robberies. Consequently every bandit and outlaw in the region decides to have a go at them. In the end they make it to their destination after a few close calls, but then it's revealed the giant strongbox they were transporting is filled with rocks. Turns out it was all just a diversion and the real gold was secretly transported by a different stagecoach which of course went unmolested.

I haul in Open. Sometimes I come across Pirates, most times I don't. When I do, they usually role play and want a little bit of the haul. Grand scheme of things it comes with the territory. Most times I get my whole haul. Occasionally I lose a couple along the way. 6-10 void opal to turn in my 120, it sucks but I would rather not lose it all. That being said, I don't advertise that I am hauling like this guy did xD. I say it doesn't really matter, I would rather have the element of danger (as seldom as it is) than not have it at all.

depends on how fast you were going before dropping

Back when the galactic silk road was a common thing for profit, I'd always have fun with the pirate faction "The Code". Back then there were few (if any) ships faster than the cobra mk3 and I intentionally ran as light as possible (no weapons, minimal shields). They'd pull me over to negotiate, so I'd strike a deal: You can have everything I'm carrying in my hull... you just have to catch me first! Got ambushed once and had to surrender, it was fun times. Pirates are gambling men, so I like to make it a high stakes gamble. If they can catch me, they can have it, if they can't, they let me go.

Nice post. Thanks!

My complete thoughts on the matter: you mined it -> it's yours -> fuck 'em all.

"Negotiate for your release" I DONT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORITSTS!

Can't say I was expecting some Polyphia in this video, but much appreciated.

I love your stance on this.

I expected your ship to look like a sunflower full of hatch breakers.

The first pvp interdiction I was in, I was whole heartedly ready to negotiate and looking forward to the interaction... There was no negotiation. Five seconds later, I was in the rebuy screen, having lost my Type 9 and my low value cargo. The pirate surely didn't have enough space for the 600+ units of cargo. I would have happily filled his cargo and continued on my way. I barely got to open my comms. I stopped my engines to show compliance. The other time was shortly after arriving in Colonia. I had made the treck with a woefully under equipped hunpback or what ever. I stopped at the first star port, to buy the cheapest ship, to travel to another station to buy the ship I wanted. The taxi I chose was the Asp Scout. Someome patrolling the space around Colonia took offense to my bone stock ASP and promptly proceeded to seal club me to the rebuy screen. Thankfully I arrived at the station I was goin to. I outfitted my ship and proceeded to chase him around with my un-engineered Krait II, not being able to so much as touch him. The third interaction was when evacuating refugees from a burning station. A Corvette rammed me to the side of the station, so I got a bounty somehow. Then he proceeded to rip my stripped down evacuation Conda apart. Not answering my comms about his intentions. In the prison rebuy screen I was annoyed about the miscarriage of justice and that I had lost my worn down 0% paint job, that had done three trips between Colonia and the Bubble. I wore that worn down paint as a badge of honor. These experiences have made me decide that I would no longer fly in the open. It's a shame that the MMO aspect is ruined by bad interactions or complete lack of them.

I just love the music choice...better luck next time.. sorry about noodles ...hope he's not too mad at you. But it's all in the game....I havent decided to get in the seat yet but its getting very exciting to take a chance and fly

The music is too loud and makes the whole video annoying.

Gotta say, I don't agree with your philosophy of "these guys spent money outfitting their ships and they work just as hard at what they do than I do, so I should have paid them and then we'd all win". If all they do is interdict you and get "protection money" from it, that's not working, anyone can interdict someone who submits and make a demand. Them working for it is in the chase, the ability to put their skills where their mouths are and MAKE you pay them. These guys didn't do that. They put up a decent attempt, but not good enough. That bodyblock attempt at the end though, that was a thing of beauty.

I had anxiety just watching this...

sounds like a good time to me

to be honest, I would not let them have it as I spent hours grinding it out (especially now that deep core mining exist). But, what you said sounds fun too. Negotiating to with them.

tell them the last one standing gets half of your cargo and watch them kill each other and run away.

I played EvE for over a decade, most of that timespent living in various wormholes, and even in that game you get more realistic interactions with the randoms you occasionally run into than you do in Elite. This game, at least in Open, is about as unrealistic as you could possibly get when it comes to how people treat each other when they cross paths.

Pretty much this. The reason that is is because the interactions and Elite Dangerous in general has absolutely zero integrity... The game is a convoluted mix of pointless mechanics, the only REAL thing in Elite that has any merit or value is blowing up another ship... So that's why people do it.. In EVE that cargo has real value to another player somewhere, the difficulty it is to even get ships in EVE, and the fact once its gone you're far more royally screwed than in Elite makes players less "kill it cuz lawls" and interact a bit more realistically.. That and they know they could be staring down a very angry corporation and friends ready and willing to ruin their own day if they get too aggressive... Elite has none of it.. So shoot it cuz lawls and fuck witht heir day is the only enjoyment you can get in Elite.. One of MANY reasons I dont play elite in general.. That and the fact the game literally revolves around just making money.. Making Money is its only real goal and end goal, and once you get the best ship there is literally fuck all nothing worthwhile or meaningful to do with it...

Talking about realism does not make any sense. At all. People reacting more realistically in eve? Seriously, wtf are you talking about??! First: the loss in eve is way more heavy, you loose a lot more. True, I agree with you. But this is exactly the reason why A LOT of people act in evil manners, playing the villain (what you call unrealistic). Wanna talk about burn jita? Wanna talk about stations/gate bubbles? Blockades that had the only goal to blow ANYTHING up, just for the fun of it? Wanna talk about the pod killers? They just wanted expensive pods (with expensive implants) to showcase on killboards and forums. 2. The UNREALISTIC reaction is total bs. It is something that does not have the minimum amount of sense. People act as they want. Eve players act as they do in eve. Elite dangerous players act in other ways, so what? The way they react is real only in the world they are currently playing. Comparing with the real world is simply stupid and of a close mind. Beware, I can understand your fear and the will of not risking a loss in open, and I do not agree with some playstyles, that I find simply stupid, but I just don't understand why you find unrealistic how people play. How do you know how people would behave in year 3000+ in a society based in space stations, with completely different laws! Laws that make ships and assets wanted instead of the 'people', hey, maybe those 'grifiers' are acting just realisticly considered the context they are in! PS People in the real world take advantage of the others every single day. They scam, they murder for every reason and for no reason at all. They steal, they enslave others, they exploit the laws. Kids are abused and tortured. And no, the consequences are often not enough, justice is not always done. And a lot of the criminals are never caught. Think about realism again.

EVE Online players : *Got shot the moment they left the dock*

If I had that ship and haul I would gear up with a bunch of turret thermals

I play in open. I haul in a very armed anaconda and yell at my computer when everything gets blown up. lol..

Not all pirates are pirates, some are just sociopathic terrorists.

I remember I slowed down and I stopped next to the pirate to negotiate. He said he was in no mood to negotiate, so in the flash of an eye, I shot him with a rocket and boosted away. It was a lot cooler than it sounds

I have never actually not played in open and have currently just bought an asp explorer. All the credits needed for that ship were acquired from mining so I've done my fair share of hauling for a player that has about 80-100 hours in the game. I have never been interdicted while hauling cargo back to a station so I guess I'm really lucky then.

I pirate common void opal routes. Surprised you didn't get flooded with hatchbreaker limpets, as that's my usual approach when they try to run. Stall their FSD long enough and their entire cargo hold is spilled everywhere for your collectors to pick up :)

I think that he was going too fast for them

Man this Vid was more entertaining than anything currently on t.v.! I mean.. a background in ED is vital, but i'm sure other gamers will get it too. "If legendary weapons could be looted in WoW... this is like telling everyone and running from 1 city to the next with one" . I was so ?under suspence... ?suspended?... THRILLED! If E.D. made high earning loot ships doing runs, with or without escorts... It would bring piracy into the game.. I didn't even know there were pirates!, I knew players could gank each other but not rob each other as well! Look out for me when my money pile builds to critical mass... I don't care if the job pays! I just want to see what goodies you have.

I think you did well, they where not able to get you, and that's on them. Next time they will be more prepared.

Ill be honest, I've got 250 hrs into this game so far, and I've only played solo, I went into open one time in the very beginning in an eagle and got interdicted and destroyed by a federal corvette, so I just stayed in single player mode lol. I just figured it would be gank city all the time. That being said, I didn't realize the people were so far into the game from a role-playing perspective. Kind of cool. Also nice use of Polyphia during the chase scene.

Get biweave shields and hull and modual reinforcements, my dropship (that i use for mining) is nearly unbreakable

You did nothing wrong. If you had to work that hard for the vopals, so do the pirates

I can't wait to become a merc

Beautiful video! COME BACK

Mad lad.

If I did not care about potentially losing 1 billion in 1 haul then I might play with the pirate/killers in open. BUT not even having obtained 1 billion yet playing this game so far,, I think I will stay in Solo to build up that nest egg first. Only then might consider that high risk. However with my cheap, cheap Imp Eagle (its Engineered) will I be willing to go "Hunting".

Sadly, it will take quite a bit more than 600T in void opals to value a billion credits now. As it is difficult now to find any place offering much over 300K per ton for voids. Void Opal mining paid for most of what I have now. But that was before a few mining nerfs when I could still get a million plus cr per ton.

I hauled a huge haul of void opals (compared to what I already had) and barley made it with my life. Had I not made it and died I would have lost my ship. As it was my first mining vessel and I went all in. Thankfully I made it but it was close. Now thats I’m not all in. I would consider negotiating with pirates. But if I had an opening to escape I would without hesitation.

As an Eve player, not playing in Open feels like a cop out. If I was hauling like that, I'd definitely get into it. In Eve, there's hardly a reason to negotiate because you can't exactly jump out if scrammed (think Interdicted in normal space that prevents FSD from even starting). In Eve, kills are often more valuable than negotiating, but sometimes you get the goofy players in wormhole space (think really REALLY outside the bubble) that will scram you and request you answer if Batman or Superman was better (this actually happened). If I was aware of this, I'd be that random odd player who would interdict, boop the ship, slap you with a fuel "missile" (limpet), then warp off.

Some Polyphia, nice

Wow, insane. Lol, I wish I had 6m just to buy the ship I want. Just started playing a month ago
