Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

This is actually pretty big. I never liked me and my friends getting raided by people who played for 2000 hours and memorized PvP mechanics, I might give this game another shot.

All in all, your logic is sound, but the diatribe is missing some essential facts. For instance, similar to the marine mine action you mentioned, a fairly common tactic for human-crewed ships (non-solo) is to drop off the back of the lead ship while holding a gunpowder barrel/keg and attempt any number of damaging goals from detonating it under the ship as it passes to doing so in various places onboard (my favorite is the crows nest as the game doesn't seem to count the elevation as distance for the fire spreading, and hardly anyone looks up, so the attacking crew tends to take a long-ass time figuring out why their ship keeps catching on fire). To sum up, this more than dying game has had years to correct the long list of bullshit, and PvE is not its salvation. To wit, they've not even begun to deal with bots/hacks and their response now is to incentivize PvE? Pfft. They're just stringing out their cash grab even further, trying to bleed y'all that much longer.

tl;dr: Find a better game to play, people. You deserve better than Roblox Pirate-flavored.
