I'm aware of this and like I said I accept it. I'm just saying that it's come up more than once with people and in some ways I agree. It's a little annoying that I have to compete with AFK faction farmers by risking getting my butt shot off when there's no real risk to them, but I guess that's an argument for a different forum.
At any rate, I'm sure everyone here can agree that they'd like more people to be involved in space-based PvP but the fact is, some people depend on macros to do some of their work for them. Does a looping target macro indicate a lack of skill on the pilot's part? Yeah, probably. Some people have a knack for being situationally aware and some don't. If you're the type that doesn't, getting blown up by someone you never knew was there isn't going to seem that fun and may discourage you from PvPing in space, which is the exact opposite of what most people want.
Accuse people of being lazy and lacking skill all you want but if that's really true and you're such a great pilot, is their extra couple seconds of warning really going to do much to help them?

That wasn't directed at you, it was just a general statement. =)
How's the grind going? Double XP starting on the 27th, that's gotta be fun for you.

I hadnt noticed. I already have a X 3 modifier on my master pilot bonus.
I dont grind, i just do missions
Currently on vortex, just starting teir 3 missions. I souped up a heavy 95 with some high end gear before resiging reb pilot. Grinding for me, is gong to kessel to kill a gunboat real quick to hit my XP cap.

But not faction and I hate to break it to you, but that's why a lot of people are up there. I'll be honest, I'm a master smuggler and a decent amount of my money comes from selling faction. I can make more faction in 10 minutes in space than I can in over an hour on the ground. Sometimes I want to just farm and not be bothered with PvP. I accept that it's part of the game and I don't complain about it but that doesn't mean I'd unhappy if there was a way to avoid PvP while grinding faction. I've had a few people mention to me when they asked where the best place to get faction from is that if you can farm faction on the ground without risking PvP, why not in space?
Oh, sorry...I was being rhetorical. Of course it is for faction!
You know what they say though, the higher the reward, the higher the risk.

Unless you're talking about sliced weapons.
