Attacked in Mobius by a player

[Black Rose]

Some thoughts of my own regarding an interdiction which I use on NPCs and it works on real people as well:

Preset a hot key to 75% power. I use the left arrow key as its close to the right side of the KB which is where my stick is.

As soon as the interdiction starts hit that 75% power key which will pull you into the mid point of the blue allowing you more agility and possibly beating the interdiction.

Also, hit the H key it will ID your attacker in the left hand panel, then hit the F10 ( on my machine ) for a screen shot for later. You will also see if he/she is in a wing.

Ok you are in normal space now. Four pips in engines, turbo, then full throttle. If you full throttle after you hit turbo the speed will ramp up faster. I notice in allot of pvp vids, the attacker is running with no shields and a ton of heat sinks since they are using silent running and its very hard to get a target lock when they are like that. So it could be prudent to fight fire with fire. Although just turbo boosting away works as well. Drop chaff and run. Panel 1 up and grab any jump point and align. so you are ready when the FSD cools down.

When you get to the new system jump again, anywhere because if they really want you they will wake scan you. I've been told that mass lock won't affect a jump the same way it affects SC although I can't vouch for that.

If you are being repeatedly pulled out of cruise by one guy you can start your cruise wind up, which the other player will see. Open your #1 panel and hit the space bar at the last second and hopefully your attacker won't notice and will jump into cruise while you stay in normal space. The moment he jumps and you are alone, log out or jump to a new system.

Hello,
Yup. Mass lock does not affect Hi-wake. 4 pips to engines and 2 pips to systems (for your shields to hold up.) The FAS can boost to keep up it has one of the fastest boost speeds in game but will build heat quickly in silent running and it's an Armour tank.
Double jump is always recommended.

These guys don't seem to fight one on one. So staying to fight might not be a good idea unless your in a wing.

Have fun, fly safe. o7

Yep, I might have to forget this game. I feel sorry for Mobius as I feel his only option is to disband the group. He will undoubtedly become swamped with people infiltrating. I would disband if I was him. Its not worth the grif I think he may get. As it is I suspect others are applying as I type.

It does appear that there's little in the way of game mechanics to support the PVE community. Shame.

Black Rose, they are all good tips, but sadly it's hard to execute on that when you're thinking "mm, wtf just happened, I am in Mobius, right?"

Me, I ended up in double-jeopardy. The ganker (I shall use that word) interdicted me whilst a hostile NPC Python was doing the "I've come a long way for what's in your hold". I'd literally *just* escaped a previous interdiction from the NPC, so when this one happened, I assumed it was him, again. And, well, to be fair, he joined in. It's just there was also the human as well. So I've got the human saying "stop and you'll live" and the NPC which would have blasted me either way, so it's lose-lose. At that point the last thing on my mind is a neatly executed hi-wake to another system, because my mind was still trapped in "NPC" land where that's not normally necessary.

That, plus I'd lost the interdiction as it went red whilst full centre on blue, so I had spinny ship and massive cooldown to handle.

AND the sky is falling.

I've been trying to count up all the Cmdr contacts I've made since I joined and it's definitely fewer than 10, but I'm not a very sociable person.

I was shot to death in Mobius early last year, but I'm pleased to say the perpetrator - horrid and vile though he is, gloating over his ill-gotten gains as he travels the galaxy - is now a Reformed Character and a Saint (so the gloating and horridness and vileness are - probably - all in the past - if they really were character traits - but that doesn't make such a good story).

Yes, SDC exploited a weakness in the administrative structure and a few players were annoyingly inconvenienced. This wasn't the first time and it won't be the last. But it probably will be the last time those particular players will get ganked in Mobius.

I'm behind Wolf's comments on this - I can't smell Rome burning.

To be honest I just like winding them up on the forum. I can see them slowly getting annoyed, then angry at me. I then get the salty and that just makes me glee. Sorry but I am an annoying bastard in real life too.

I know its not the end of the world and maybe I was being over dramatic. But there's a fundamental issue at stake. The freedom to play your way. Which is being eroded. That sits uncomfortably with me.

But you are correct Walter.

[Wolf]

As it looks like the bogus argument of the offenders is to "demonstrate how it feels to be affected by another gamemode" , we cannot allow the discussion of affecting their systems.

Sorry. No revenge to be found here!
