How are you going to move the pirated material?

With a sequer, perhaps?

What island are you on? I will be happy to oblige

heydelhorn eh? I ahve been doing it on your island, just at the other end. I will scout you guys out soon

Vorgrim, Please be sure to equip your bots with lots of good hardware for us to loot.

Back on topic...

Dev has already said deleting cargo is not an exploit.

This means your going to have to come up with a better reason than it denies you from getting the cargo. As I said before, if your target isn't 100% sure your going to kill them, they are not going to delete that expensive load.

This is no different than using tactics in combat to give you an advantage, and our opponent needing to negate that advantage. In this engagement, you are trying to get the cargo, and the seq is trying to prevent you from getting it.

In fact, sending them a tell about putting the cargo in a field container with the password and you'll let them go seems workable. Of course you're always free to blow them up afterwards if the cargo seems light, but again if word gets out you're just going to kill them anyway they'll get decline to give you the cargo.

Wait, so PVP'ers love the tears of Carebear industrialists when they blow us up and we complain in the forums about how mean they are... could it finally be payback? Are we carebears tough enough to feed off the tears of those poor pirates losing thier hard won cargo loot to the evil transport driver that deletes his load!

No, we are carebears and we sympathize with your loss. Please allow us to make this game more enjoyable for you by placing our cargo at your feet and thanking your for the pleasure of being killed by your awesome pvp skillz.

If i was running through in a sequer running through beta, i would have a few grenades linked up in the cargo hold (or more)......think i am gonna pop......pull the pins. I do not see how this could even remotely be considered an exploit....

Because elements like titanium will care a lot if you apply few granades to them?

By your logic: Why don't i haul a thermonuclear device and dead man switch while we are at it?
If i die, half the island will go with me!

+1 for this idea

So my other suggestion about letting them drive away if they drop thier cargo is FULLY valid, because they will know if my hold isn't empty.

Don't be greedy, take the kill or the cargo, beside if you let them keep the Seq they will have something to haul more stuff to you in.

That's the thing, destroying cargo is not easy in real world.

People take grate care to protect the cargo, so even a self inflicted damage usually gets mitigated.

Also not all materials even care if you try to destroy them. Expensive paintings are easy to scuttle, but few tonnes of minerals cares little what you do to it.

Hell, there is cases where people dump the sh*t in ocean only to realize other people will salvage it from the bottom of GOD DAMN SEA.

So please, keep the REAL WORRRRRRRRRRRRRLD analogies away from our "select all + destroy" 2 seconds click procedure.

Qft

I don't get why risk vs reward needs explaining. Funny how all the carebears jumped in with their random scenarios.

Sad to see a dev not get it either. Hopefully the team comes to their senses on this issue.

Less complaining from all the sequer drivers would be nice also. If your on beta you risk losing ur stuff. Deal.
