I have got to know(How is the online now)

[NetNomad]

May I ask if you was dropped on your head at birth, those lobbys are FSOD and hackers central, despite the fact I think your in major need of a MRI scan, you was probably still the most intelligent person on there.

The best thing to do is get people's GC's then you can scan them when you go online and arrange to meet in a lobby that isn't filled with genetic defects from the Primordial Soup.

You have one hell of a way of taking things "light-heartedly." > I should probably be more annoyed than I am...

But disregarding that, you can't expect everyone to know which lobbies are hacker-full. I don't know how many times YOU have been to the US ships in the last week, but Altair and Antares are very quiet, as is most of Deneb and all of Vega - only Deneb 6-4 is the new hacker hotspot. If you hang out in Altair and just make meeting times with people you know on a forum or offline, you're just fine. Case in point: about half an hour ago I was playing with someone who came from Vega; he was the brother of someone who I played with once before, and when I looked up his card I noticed he was in Vega. I called him over to Altair, where he told me he'd been FSOD'ed ten times in the last two days. Whereas I've never been FSOD'ed once.

I've met two FSODers, and I have been to Deneb, but only on invite. Yes, there are FSODers there; the last time I was in Deneb I saw someone threatening FSOD and I ran out of that lobby quickly. As for hackers: I've actually met two hackers so far in Altair, but neither had any interest in causing touble... one played briefly with me and some people from PSOW when I was trying to level up (I didn't know he was a hacker, until he pulled out the Dark Bridge... ). The second one I met last night in Altair 10 (I think Shiek was there at the time; I know Lostthought was). I knew he was a hacker when I was talking about my Red Mechguns, and he offered me a pair. Then he honestly answered they were non-legit, and seemed to understand that I wanted legit items. At any rate, neither seemed interested in FSODing.

EDIT: Whoa, when did I hit 1,000+ posts? *does the 5-posts-late-to-1000 dance*
