I was flying out of PO with a freelancer to try out a HRT bounty that I just unlocked and while browsing the contracts I got attacked by 2 red ships. At first I thought they were some npc random spawns but quickly realised that they are players. 1 banu defender and 1 ares inferno. I evaded the missiles with countermeasures and prepped for combat. I had a good crack at the banu but then he just ran away and kept baiting me, it's then I noticed that the second ship which was doing the actual damage was the Inferno, my shields were still up and no damage to ship but the damn thing choose the worst time to just stop working, thrusters bugged out, guns stopped working. With only the thrusters I got back to the armistice zone near PO. What is the point of armistice zone If I get destroyed in it? I respawned and the offending PVPers were gloating in chat how it wasn't meant to be fair, they took much joy in their accomplishment. My ISP resetted my IP at that very moment and I got disconnected so I wasn't able to get back and engage them properly this time, yeah I clicked the accuse the player of destroying your ship and that. CR: "Players won't need to do PVP if they don't want to." Just add a pvp flag on/off already. If I wanted to engage them I'd turned on my PVP flag but this time I wouldn't be jumped and I might have given them a run for their money. I've destroyed 3 connies with an upgrade Aurora so I'm no pushover. Having a jump surprise on someone is not fair and PVP don't want it to be fair. If this is the hardcore experience CR wants he can keep it to himself and the 1000 griefers that will remain on his servers. I'm out.
