STEALING SOMEONE'S SHIP (ACTUAL THEFT)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1 Climb aboard, sit in the right cockpit chair and fly off.

ACTUAL RESULT
It has come to my attention on another forum, that part of the game, or gameplay, may include the theft of your ship.

EXPECTED RESULT
In Star Citizen, we BACKERS paid REAL MONEY to back this game in the purchase of these ships. Given it is now possible to do this in SC (admittedly no actual loss or damage can be done), I don't appreciate the fact that someone CAN DO THIS with my PROPERTY and CONTRIBUTION to SC's development. Even if there is no short term damage, other than someone waiting in the wing for a ship owner to climb aboard my ship, during my gameplay, and just walk off with my experience for their own, is just not right. To this end, I would ask that you take this as a bug, and implement a fix, like cyberlocking your ship with a code, to prevent what will certainly be a controversial issue in the future of SC. As well, I have posted the following on another popular space simulation site.

---
In Star Citizen, it is possible to steal someone's ship which cost REAL money, and it was an oversight or exploit not seen or considered Roberts Space Industries, but it was not ever intended to be a part of the game. Although it is something than CAN be done in SC, as it is an Alpha build and I doubt it will be allowed to continue. Bugs have been filed because of it, and most would find it an immoral act purely because there are REAL dollars involved. Those REAL dollars in SC were put there by those BACKERS wanting a massive space experience, and IS NOT there for someone to STEAL, however fun, funny, or exciting you may think it is. I am a significant backer in SC, and I can guarantee you, I would not think it moral, fun, funny or exciting if someone STOLE my paid for property put there in earnest to build a game I wanted.

If it shows up in Elite Dangerous. I will ask Frontier for a full refund. I backed this game for fun, not to have someone fixated on stealing, try to convince anyone here this is acceptable behaviour.

Gameplay does not need to parallel life, and just because you have real life examples, true as they may be, makes it no more palatable, reasonable or acceptable.

It's not my lifestyle, nor is it something I find acceptable, even if it is considered gameplay.

Be well.
---

If you value my participation as a contributor to SC, now and in the future, you will give this bug serious consideration.

(and yes, SC gave me a sidearm, and I guess I could have just SHOT THE GUY, but hell, I'm not a murderer.

Be well.

Hahahahahahahaha

Haha I can't wait til CIG figure out what they're actually doing with ship theft and locking and what happens to your ship when you log off and and and etc, there's no way it's not going to piss off the backers no matter what plans they reveal

If this ever releases, and I can play above 9 fps, I plan on becoming a tane German auditor in a wheel chair, wearing 3 fancy belts and stealing ships...

There are a lot of people that read this thread so just going to prime you for what is about to happen.

If you are reading anything to do with Star Citizen, a chat channel a twitch stream, whatever, whenever something usual happens just type "parp" because when the wheels come off this bandwagon, you want to be there and not miss out, because that's how close we are to the end.

SQ42 doesn't exist, these idiots are paying to keep the lights on and there's actually no game coming. Once they figure this out it's all going to end fast.

In the last 500 years, the Fourth Stimpire has dominated four systems, which it has united into one starzone, Stimsis. The Fourth Stimpire has origins from the Ten Empire War in which 10 of the United Stimpires revolted against each rules. All empires except for the fourth swore freedom upon their citizens. There is no free speech in the Fourth Stimpire, and all self-controlled transportation has been made illegal without undergoing painful medical verification methods, in which arteries are severed without pain resistant, operated entirely by machines. The way they work claim to be the most hygenic and healthy way possible, but these machines often rub against pain points, causing great deals of pain to patients. The heart is then extracted from the body and placed into a glass grinding machine. Various energy centers are also dissected and replaced with dangerous transplants. After the painful, 52 hour surgical procedure, patients will then have to use a fused guidance tool, which pumps painful resistors into the body every 2 hours. The pain they have caused is so bad, the victim would freeze in a tense position. They would then collapse afterwards.

Sexual stimulation in any way within the grounds of the Fourth Stimpire is strictly prohibited, and anyone detected even touching their sexual organs will be subjected to a penectomy or if the offender was a female, they would then have a razor inserted into their ovaries. They would pump a blue solution into the womb until the stitchings burst. Offenders would also be forced to show their operated areas in public, and they would always harass and punch them to a pulp, against their will.

Otherwise, offenders would be tazed with the worst type of electricity in the systematic district, causing so much pain, the victim would scream and flail in madness. The pain would also triple every second, but no death would be incurred. This is also used in combat against enemy units, which is why all UEE forces must wear the upgraded suit to block this effect.

However, enertainment is also questionable in UEE grounds. Sporting events end with the losing team being rounded into a grinder and shredded on live television, boxing matches end with the loser having their hands removed without anasthesia, flight races would end with the losers having their arms and legs removed, then being injected with insanity, for entertainment. People are also forced into these events, by undergoing a painful 127 hour procedure which involves tweaking the muscles so they will not listen to brain commands, and then having a painful drug injected which also causes madness if the player is not sporting. This is all for entertainment, and anyone not watching any of it during sporting times and cheering for the winning team, they will be imprisoned into galactic camps.

Snuff films are also broadcast, and actors are actually murdered just for entertainment. Stealth droids also guide these forced actors into behaving exactly as the director dreams, otherwise they will be punished by being placed into a macerator and having their execution written into the film. Any film that does not feature someone being murdered will be burned and the entire crew behind it will be executed in the most grotesque way possible - vivisection.

All executions are broadcast, and anyone who misses even a millisecond, even by blinking, will be executed. All citizens must boo to the person being executed, and the family is gathered to be injected with eternators, which cause pain forever, making them immoral but feeling the pain tenfold every millisecond. They cannot pass out, but they will feel like it forever.

Conquests by this Stimpire end in the planet being razed, and all the citizens being executed in the same way as their citizens are. The planet is then destroyed and all remnants of it are removed, and any memories of it will be erased instantly from civil minds. People who are also killed are also erased from memories, and all memories of them, including toys and pictures, are destroyed.

Prisoners undergo 40,000 years of relentless and endless labor, and anyone not complying is sentenced to the eternator injection. All prisoners injected with eternators are placed into capsules and launched into far space, then the room is closed tight to ensure maximum insanity. Some prisoners are also subjected to the removal of blood, the lungs, the liver, the genitals, the skeleton, the muscles, the eyes, and even the injection of pressure. Prisoners sentenced to pressure chambers are locked in until they are inflated to a high level. The decompression is then stopped to make sure they are inflated and uncomfortable.

Children born on the 14th of July are subjected to the removal of their skeleton and an implant of a silver liquid to replace it. The nervous sysem is also injected in various parts to ensure it is five times more sensitive than the average.

Restaurants also are ordered to serve civil meat, and anyone attending must give themself up to be cooked into a grotesque meal. They are cooked alive, undergoing extreme pain, and are then subjected to industrial grinders and blenders. The Stimpire orders at least 1 million citizens to be dispatched every day, as they are afraid the population may overthrow them. But only one planet is cared for, and the rest are banned from eating, drinking, talking, using technology, touching anyone, wearing unauthorized clothes, touching buildings, or walking a centimeter out of designated routes. Civil enforcers are on every planet, and they are engineered so that they are 40 times larger than the 300 quadrillion population. At least 7 billion die every 12 hours under this rule.

Thoughts are also surveyed, and anyone who does not think anything to loving the Stimpire with more than their capabilities will be sentenced to a prison. Prisoners who are punished for this violation will meet their greatest fear, only to have it amplified so they will turn insane as they imagine it exactly as they fear it. They then undergo a painful extraction of all fluids, to be replaced by a toxin which causes permanent irritation. The unknown substance keeps the subject aging normally, except they will never die. Prisoners punished in this way are unable to be reverted, despite many efforts, and they will never be able to be disposed.

The sickening truths have been revealed only today, and invigilation teams are still investigating the truths without setting foot in the galactic space of this sickening empire.

Tane.

I have been running through 3.1.0 today. It's amazingly poo poo. When you consider the massive list of things in the patch notes - and things are still poo poo - it's easy to see how this loving game is never - ever - coming out.
