I got one of the two power plant snipes. When someone uses penetrating weapons (like rail guns) they can damage internal modules. When the power plant is destroyed, one of two things happens: 1. The power output is reduced to 50%, and if you don't have your power priorities set properly, this can disable your whole ship. Ideally you set thrusters and FSD on priority 1, so you can get away in the event this happens. In this case, the thrusters drew too much power, and my beluga was disabled. 2. You blow up.
I can't help but imagine Freya Wion singing along to this in the copilot seat and flailing her arms around. Seriously, this entire video is some Macross-level Deculture, and that's why we love it.
LMFAO! I'm 1:15 seconds in and I'm already in tears laughing. Thank you for that. It was damn refreshing. Usually these videos go as follows. "I'm in an obviously inferior ship but I saw xyz commit a terrible atrocity so I popped a can of spinach and swooped in to help. That evil griefer stood no chance against my awesome piloting skills." Pure gold in just the first minute. Thanks CMDR. Also, extra points for the EWF.
Thank you, bro! You gave me good options for anti-gankering activities in Shinrarta Dezhra. I called my troll-ship "Yellow Vomit" in honor of your "Vomit Comet". The first weekend of the anti-gank gave magical results in the form of burnt griffers. The whole RU-vid will now know who of the griffers has a weak bunch :)
While naming and shaming is great, it also feeds their weak egos to get attention. May I suggest two options that could be done about senseless ganking: 1 - anyone with more than two million credits in bounties, would be hunted down by wings of 10 Elite+ NPC bounty hunters (regardless of what ship they are in, and solo is not safe of course) in maxed out combat ships. They should of course employ typical ganking tactics and avoid attacking a ship without weapons and cargo. They should also not make their presence known until those ten blips appear on the radar. While a player get 2 million of the bounty, these NPC wings would only get the rebuy cost (so if you are in a sidewinder your bouty decrease a few thousand credits), and once a player is flagged, they are unale to repay bounties except when killed in a sufficiently large ship. Remember, these are the supergankers, they are in it for the sport of killing gankers, not for the money. 2 - allow us to blacklist people. Just being able to play in open without ever being in the same instance as a known ganker would be great, if ganking is an essential part of the game, just add the option of blacklisting anyone that killed you when you did not have a bounty on you.That way they can only kill every other player once, which should be enough to inflate their flaccid ego.
@@Noruzenchi86 Does not solve the problem at all. Finding a good private group is better. IF however, there was a global blacklist, say that people who do a lot of ganking is autoatically not instanced with people who are clean, that would be a transparent solution.
@@57thorns Nah, that ruins the game. Don't want to be ganked? Play in solo or private. I would like NPC bounty hunters to be a thing, or even just have system police try to arrest you/search you more often etc to discourage high bounties. But just dropkicking someone with NPCs destroys an entire avenue of play that these people enjoy. Its part of the experience. Space doesn't care who you are.
@@SendarSlayer It only ruins the game for people that ruin the game for others. What you are saying is that putting people in jail for robbery, assault and murder is ruining those peoples lives. I love consentual PvP even is I suck at it, because it is a real test of skill. I would have loved if they forced conflict zones to automatically be pvp areas. I take my combat ship to a conflict zone (instead of just hazrez or bounty hunting at a navigational beacon) I know what I am getting myself into. Being in a wing would give some protection. And remember, any gankers would be wanted by both factions in short order, and have "some problems" even when leaving the combat zone.
The moment you boosted out and pegged the mail slot I was reminded of a brief video of a puppy rolling down the stairs and when it got to the bottom it stumbled to its feet and the words "nailed it" popped on screen
I did something similar. I minmaxed the engineering on an Imperial Eagle, reaching a 691 top speed and a whopping 922 boost speed. After equipping a grade A long range scanner, FSD interdictor, and Grom Bomb, my top speed dropped to 677 (meaning I could still outrun any seeker missile without boosting) and 903 boost speed. After locating a ganker or being ganked myself, I'd hop in it and go find them, interdict them, and after dropping out of supercruise, I'd wait a few seconds for my FSD to cool down while dodging the enemy with zero difficulty. Once I could jump again, I'd fly right up to them, hit them with a grom bomb, then immediately fire up my FSD (meaning they would hear back-to-back COVAS messages informing them that their FSD was rebooting and that mine was spooling up) and jump back into supercruise. I'd quickly loop around and wait for them to reappear, then repeat the process while they bitch at me until they accepted that there was nothing they could do to stop me and leave in frustration
We call that a cope eagle, and it's kinda annoying. You should put reverb mines on too. Take a little speed hit but you will be able to take out their shields in a few passes with some practice.
Hmm. You have nearly 200 m/s speed advantage vs his FDL. It's not a big deal to escape him. But in case you see me ingame, I'd like to give it a shot, too ;)
Commander deZpe... der Pilot der mit Rails Sachen trifft, die ich nicht treffen würde, selbst wenn sie still halten... ;D Lass der Flitzer-Adder doch ihren Spass :)
The vomit comet is actually a real plane that is used to simulate zero G by diving at stupid speeds and making everyone in it regret life. Hence the name “vomit comet
"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FU-" CLUNK Brilliant editing hahaha I did a loadout just like this ages ago, but it also met a similar fate. Now it's my main Bug Hunter and it does the job really well. So glad there's other people out there doing stupid things with Belugas haha
Okay, hear me out: Vomit Comet SCO version: The goal is to perfectly drop from 'super speed' to a base. May need to be filmed before FDev 'improves' the handling to keep ships from overcooking. Could be fun or a bunch of circle-backs of shame. :) Doable?
Yes, I know. But the meme lies in the fact that this is an Adder. Nobody knew an Adder could do this because nobody tried doing this to an Adder before me. As a result, people tend to still see the Adder as a slow, soft target. Easy ganker pickings.
I don't think he can even claim to have killed you there in the beluga.. you kicked your own ass at that point. but amazing go-fast skills in the adderall fueled adder
