Harassment in the D row is a thing now ?
Hi,
Yesterday I had two unpleaseant encounters back to back in the D row in the DD.
1st one I was compacting spice-sand next to my assault Orni on a medium field and suddenly another orni landed right on me. Because of the sudden camera change I thought the worm was on me and quickly ran back to my orni but then saw it was another player : he was actively stealing the spice stacks I had uncovered. And then using his compactor to make stacks so I too stole a couple of his to show him I could play that game too. He then proceeded to place a thumper under my assault...
And since I saw and heard that I just flew up a little while the worm ate the thumper and came back... Apparently he decided this medium field with me already having had half of it was not worth it and he went away to another one close by.
Dunnow if it's karma but we shared the same worm and he was the one constantly aggroing the worm while I was able to finish my field in total peace...
2nd was half an hour later while I was flying on the lookout of another field (after depositing my earlier spice at home) and this time it was a carrier and its harvester that proceeded to follow me and chase me. I then saw a plume in the distance and turned 45° and engaged the thrusters, it was a small field and I landed on it first of course and proceeded to harvest it with my compactor and before I had finished he landed his harverster, so I compacted the most I could before he could start his vehicle and seeing this he jumped out and tried to steal my stacks, for some reason this time he was unable to. He also tried to invite me in a group, In restrospect I think it was to disturb me with the invite window. Worm came and I jumped back in my assault (field was empty by now) and he too, and then we were flying up I just bumped him a couple times on the above to make him understand he should stop playing with me.
Then there was the speaker icon above the carrier : which I didn't listen to, dude was probably insulting me.
After that he followed me for about 20 minutes : had the time to scout the D row from one side to the other and back.
Thing is : I was flying up with thrusters up to 800m and was only gliding the whole time so I didn't even consume fuel. I think he did consume lots of fuel to follow me all this time and I believe this is why he stops stalking me after a good 20 minutes.
I think he was wanting to annoy me by landing on whatever field I would find and empty it quick with his harvester... A streamer doing a video maybe ?
Anyway...
