I was looking for that pirate, but he found me first... to his own misfortune.
Python Mk2 is a quite good ship for taking down bigger ships. The only thing I need now is better shield.

This time a Dangerous Fer-de-Lance showed up trying to protect they fellow pirates that I was hunting, she could be Dangerous but I was used to kill big groups of pirates by myself and this ship wouldn't be a problem and it wasn't, took it down in 2 minutes and just get a few scratches at my Python.

FDL versus Anaconda

These NPC Anacondas do some crazy 180 degree as if they were a Vulture, and those 360 degree turreted lasers are annoying, but still, nothing is impossible to kill on a Fer-de-Lance :)

Always pushing my hull to the limit :D my hull pakages were not engineered in that one, was being lazy plus don't want to slow down the ship. I blew up once these days because those burst lasers do more hull damage that I thought, lol

mastercesspit's avatar

told you engineered bursts do near a multi damage, that's why i use multi weave on my shields, increases resistance across the board, i have a corvette with 10% thermal resistance on the shields alone, and a couple reflective heavy duty hull reins tops it off, burn baby burn, lol

  • i was recently invited by a new friend to participate in a BGS action that their squad was involved in, it was in fed space, so i was eager to take on some fed ships as where i base myself is predominantly imperial.

  • i was rewarded in the first CZ i participated in with this elite federal corvette, toe to toe, 2 corvettes having a fine dance.

  • have fun 07

I have a question about this post, does this also work for Thargoids? Sorry if I'm a little too stupid. I usually fight the Thargoids more than the players 🥲😆

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Hey Block9, yes Thargoids are included. However, we will prioritise PvP over PvE. So if someone destroys another player ship and you destroy a Thargoid, the other player is more likely (though not guaranteed) to win the prize.

I didn't know that. Every week I fight against thatgoids and I didn't know that they also counted.

Aha, well the good news is that you will have many more chances to enter this reward

Alex Sinclair so, next time an "ax special" is on, normal combat can be entered? and on the subject of preferring pvp over pve, one person has already had their youtube account deleted for publishing the defeat of another player, due to the fact that publishing that defeat in a public forum amounts to repeated public humiliation, and not can, but will be regarded as cyberbullying in most developed countries, the predisposition of fdev to favour the less morally and ethically minded players is well known, (gankers and griefers), but just about should really be mindful of their exposure to prosecution for promoting and publishing what is widely regarded as the promotion of cyberbullying.

i have nothing against consensual pvp, but to publish on a public forum a non consensual kil is distasteful and humiliating to the victim, and an invite to have your channel deleted, personally i would never publish a pvp kill in a public forum on moral and ethical grounds, you've won, don't be a bad winner by humiliating your opponent repeatedly, i have vids of pvp kills from way back in the deciat wars, they're for private viewings to squad members and friends, not for public humiliation of the opponent.

have fun, be nice 07

Hi mastercesspit, thank you for sharing your concerns. Of course, we'd never want to promote cyberbullying of any kind; that's the opposite of what we stand for as a platform. The reason PvP kills have generally been prioritised for this reward is that we want to reward the most skilful clips, and as such, a miner being ganked is unlikely to be rewarded over a more evenly matched fight. We'll consider revisiting the phrasing of these rewards to make this clearer, but the submissions so far suggest to us that members understand this. We want to continue to provide avenues for players to flex high-skill play, both PvP and PvE, and following the release of PowerPlay2.0, we expect to see a lot more PvP action in-game.

In answer to your question about Kill of the Week AX specials: no, a PvP kill wouldn't qualify for those. We aim to support every play-style and preference, and that was a chance to give PvE AX-focused players a chance to get some extra large rewards. It's also worth noting that PvE kills have featured heavily in the winners of these weekly rewards since we began the bounty despite always stating our preference for PvP kills. I hope this goes some way to alleviating your concerns, and we're always open to hearing more feedback. o7

no worries, that makes it clearer, thank you, much appreciated. 07

on another note, i have some epic vids of full cz's and hazres runs, i was thinking of uploading a couple for discussion, but they're long, up to 26 mins and i didn't know whether it would be seen as spam or attention seeking, it is content after all, while most want a short clip, i could imagine thee are a few players that would enjoy a popcorn session, idk, what are your thoughts? 1 or 2 a week? or no?

Thanks for your understanding. In answer to your question: absolutely, you're more than welcome to share your Elite content freely in the feed. I think we'd only considered it spam if there were multiple posts per day and our feeds started getting filled up. o7

A clip of my Clipper taking out an Anaconda. Good fun. Clippers often become RezHaz fodder but not this one. I'm a bit rusty but nothing like module targeting with some thermal shock beams. Testing some merit gain from bounties.
