Sry to spoil ur party, guys, but there's a new tactic in Space that always works:
- find a sponsor who agrees to pay for your ammo
- keep attacking your targets, with unlimited ammo you can keep it up forever (until u simply get bored)
Notice, if u have unlimited ammo it's NOT important how good u actually are - u may suck at maneuvering and u might have shitty aim, but u can afford coming back and shooting away, and that's quite enough - your simple presence makes it impossible for your targets to go on with their usual activities.
Which means for pirates - attacking other quads, for space hunters - shooting mobs, for peaceful travelers - leave the SS safe zone, ever.
Your probably all excited 'cause so far it's the good guy using this tactic on pirates. I should be rejoicing with you, because it would mean safer travels for me too... but i'm not that shortsighted. Trouble is, Johnny won't be the only one, others will follow the suit. Xane already got that idea... and it's a very bad idea, it won't prove anything and won't solve anything.
Few "good guys" can shut down all pirates that way, if they are persistent enough. That would end all profit for MS owners. Would be funny if that mysterious sponsor owns a privateer or MS himself... lol
On the other hand, a few pirates (until they are still out there) can shut down any peaceful transport as a desperate "last resort".
Again, it's a bad idea, it won't do any good to
anybody. It does not solve any problem, and it does NOT matter who is using that tactic, either way the results for Space will be devastating.
MA should start dishing out (temp) bans for anybody who's doing this crap, asap.
