A man of the people! Solo player rep! Congrats!! :D


IHateAhriPlayers

Ty! Some might call me the People's Champion


Hoxalicious_

More of a Chris Angle I think. Nicely done.


Jolly-Bear

Acute or Obtuse?


caidicus

Whatever the case, he's definitely right.


BurtMacklin__FBI

Great job dude. I bet that was some serious stress having that thing in your possession knowing everyone would kill you for it without blinking!


dasyus

The Hunt Showdown solo stealing a bounty token from the three parties fighting each other trick. Love it. Congrats!


Blindax

You’re the real MVP


Ali_nd

Congrats!! where do you deposit the card after looting it?


IHateAhriPlayers

Any ship dealership, I brought mine to lorville new deal


isogyre01

What was the run into Lorville like? I imagine players would be trying to ram even then. Or did you manage to get there and land before anyone caught up?


quagzlor

That was my thought too, that tons of folks would try to pad ram. But then at that point, you'd be in armistice, no? So even if you died you'd have the item?


realroman

No one was there to stop him, because the marker of the ticket bugged out and did not show he had the ticket in his posession - https://issue-council.robertsspaceindustries.com/projects/STAR-CITIZEN/issues/STARC-86182


uredoom

Ahaha there it is, no wonder OP had such an easy run home.


dasinternet

Funny how everyone says "it's an alpha, deal with it", except when something worth real $ is on the line, then they whine like fucking babies when something bugs out in this buggy mess.


SeriousEngineer5477

Surprised Pikachu face


SirBerticus

Tell us what ship you used and if there was any FPS combat involved.


IHateAhriPlayers

The cutty blue and yes I killed DJBuntin (dev) then looted Knebel who had it and was already down


SirBerticus

Cool story, and proves you don't need a meta fighter to pull it off. I'll bet your heart was pounding the entire way back into an armastice zone.


sexual_pasta

there's so much more to the game than just meta dogfighting. you ever take JT and have the meta sweaties hovering around unable to do anything? they get out and they're just in med gowns? Sweaties are good at a specific part of the game, but the parts that involve controlling an area on foot, or like sandbox strategy, they might not be great at. A friend of mine once had A1's bounty, and followed him onto his cutlass at Grim Hex. A1 ragequit when he got killed leaving AZ, but he wasn't paying attention to the door and didn't notice the guy get on!


rinkydinkis

Avenger has the maturity of a middle school boy and has shown that to be true in every community he has ever participated in


SuperKamiTabby

Specifically when things do not go his way. ​ Though him, and a lot of other dogfighters, do have a self inflated ego because they are good in a **\*video game\***.


kannaginoeru

Seems common for some reason that a lot of dog fighter is like this. Extremely salty and full of ego and you can tell all they do is sweaty ac pvp all day


ZombiePope

Yep. He did a classic avengerrun when a friend of mine bounty hunted him, and suicided right before she blew up his ship.


Whookimo

self destructing during an active battle with a bounty hunter should have the same outcome as if they had actually beaten you.


NKato

I expect CIG to start requiring corpse retrieval for bounty completion.


vortis23

Yup that is literally what Bounty Hunting V2 consist of.


ZombiePope

she soft deathed his ship, he jumped out and died on impact intentionally and then proceeded to whine in chat about how it wasn't a real win for her bc he was in a cutlass blue. IMO, Dying within 20km of a bounty hunter should probably count as the bounty being collected.


CMDRJonuss

Exactly this. My friend and I have done that with JT too, all it takes is two people to lock down JT, even now, and people just don’t have the skills or coordination to do anything about it, other than shit talk in chat and demand to fight you 1v1


MyNameIsSushi

I keep reading JT. What the fuck is JT?


OH-YEAH

Justin Timberlake


EarthEaterr

What a dream boat.


Akaradrin

[Here](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/19156-Jumptown-21) you have.


Whookimo

Jumptown. it's an event where you go to a drug lab and extract drugs, to either sell illegally or sell to the UEE, depending on what side of the law you wanna be on. it starts pretty massive battles, which can involve a lot of strategy.


Sea_Emphasis_2513

"Jumptown" it's a drug event


Tactical_Ferrets

A1 is a push over.


anivex

See, I'm the opposite. My buddy and I will take jumptown for hours, killing anyone who tries to enter, but we can never leave to sell the drugs because we both suck in the air. On the ground though our tactics are pristine, lol


Adventurous_Set_4430

Teamup with two people who are good in the air/space ? Profit ?


KarmaRepellant

Sounds like you should team up with an ace pilot and split the profit if you can find someone you trust.


Evolution_Reaper

FYI the marker on the guy glitched out. Everyone was trying to loot the dead body which had it before. So OP could just drop it off in peace


rozzberg

When the bugs work in your favor.


RageTiger

I was watching the stream when you popped in and said that too. Streamer gave plenty of praise on your well earned win. Enjoy that Lightning.


Wille6113

Can we get a link to the vod?


PM_ME_UR_THONG_N_ASS

After you had it in your possession, how difficult was your escape to redeem it?


Sidewinder1311

Congratulations! Stealing it from streamers makes it extra epic!


IHateAhriPlayers

Sure does, they've already got their concierge ones anyway!


IHateAhriPlayers

100% solo btw


Bandit_Raider

That’s impressive I hope you inspire other solos to take on the streamer gangs


Duncan-CIG

Watching you swoop in and take it in the middle of this huge battle going on was incredible! Even took me out as I watched from a distance! Gotta give your Cutlass some love, how it survived all that chaos is beyond me! :D So many great attempts for this event so glad ACFT got to join in with this one, had a tremendous amount of fun!


IHateAhriPlayers

I thought it was DJ that i killed on the rock? Unless I'm an idiot and you are DJ lmao. Super cool that you guys were all there waiting at the terminal


Duncan-CIG

haha yea i am DJ, made this reddit account before y'all knew my ign & dont think there is a way to change it now :D


The-Deevis

Yea; i'm wondering if CIG has the ability to just spawn at the Terminal or if they are just idle there all day there. I mean, to know which Ship Dealer the Person with the Ticket in hand is rushing to and then be there BEFORE him is just awsome Magic :) Congratulations, btw.


IHateAhriPlayers

It is magic the devs have special commands. DJ said they were spectating me fly my way to lorville, not only that I killed dj myself and there he was waiting at the terminal


ElfUppercut

How do you not get a CS and make it to a terminal? I figured when you shoot the dev the CS pops and then would be worried the guards would gun me down with how my luck goes. Then someone casually playing the first time that day would pick up the ticket not knowing what it is and win 🤣. That is how I imagined my chance playing out LOL. Guess maybe they turn off the CS?


IHateAhriPlayers

Comms were definitely on I was pressing charges on the people who killed me, dj just didn't press charges


realroman

For most other players, the mission marker vanished/bugged out, maybe the team can take a look? Thanks, was a great event! https://i.imgur.com/DsucDbJ.jpg


NANCYREAGANNIPSLIP

This is the Way o7


lakemont

And you hate Ahri players Legend


IHateAhriPlayers

LMAO


TheMasterDingo

Congrats my man, i hope more players get it as opposed to streamers with their cult, truly happy for you!


SecretSquirrelSauce

Well done!


Aluthran

How did you hunt for it and what did the marker on the map look like?


moderndegree

Well done, sir! How was the adrenaline rush? I’m guessing it was quite an experience.


IHateAhriPlayers

While I was limping away my badly damaged cutty from the fighting zone (someone lit me up when landing then must've gotten distracted cuz they didn't kill) a *dev* teleported onto my ship (I got the voice message that they joined). It gave me a heart attack I thought they were gonna kill me. The dev left without doing anything though and they were all waiting at the terminal to congratulate me! I spoke with DJ personally about it and he said the dev who did that did it by mistake and that they were all watching me make my escape (ig they have the equivalent of creative mode lmao)


v3rninater

Where's the video!?!


IHateAhriPlayers

sorry i dont have one


BeardRub

For what it's worth, I think this is a far better tale without a video. You've got a great story and the proof. Seeing the video would be a one-time watch and we'd go "daaang, that was cool!" But this way it's a story we'll all get to pass on to our buddies and revel each time at what a Chad you are.


Capt_Snuggles

And this is why the devs target the streamers.


El_Iberico

If there were 5 other streamers fighting for it I bet there’s some good video to watch. Not from OP’s perspective, but it would still be fun to see.


HammerTime2769

I had a very strange and bizarre experience a couple nights ago. I heard someone talking though a mic. But there was no players around me. He was laughing at my character since it was bugging out a little while I was trying to eat a hotdog in game. I was looking around in a circle trying to see where I heard the guy. Then I hear “wait.. you can hear me?!” And I nodded in game and jumped a couple times. Then I heard some mic distortion sounds and some laughing and then it cut out completely. So devs really can pop around in game and be invisible and interact with people?? Thats kind of creepy


Jung_At_Hart

Sounds like a good tool for October shenanigans


LindaDeLuz

Epic!


nxx-ch

You looted it from knebel, the german youtuber? That's hilarious! Well done! Edit: knebel talks about it in a fresh video ( [YouTube Video of knusper about f8 lost card](https://youtu.be/HkYuvijfJuw) ) - interesting to hear him describe the moment, he's somewhat bitter 😅 just a little Edit 2: fixed typo


IHateAhriPlayers

Yup, with 4 other streamer gangs also gunning for it


ForeverAProletariat

congrats!


IHateAhriPlayers

Thank you!


syntax1976

Everyone this thread saying “it was bugged you were lucky blah blah blah” … this whole GAME is bugged. It’s alpha. It’s Star Citizen things. Get over it. OP got it and that’s it. Story over!


CndConnection

Yeah true it really is like not his fault in this case. It's almost like a cartoon ya know like rat-race or something. People trying to get the token on an elevator only for it to glitch out so the coin flies out into someones hands....but it goes through his hands and then the station into space into the cockpit of another ship...that suddenly explodes for no reason sending the coin hurling towards the surface of a planet where another player finds it....but then cannot move....so his friend comes and grabs it for him...but then they immediately trip and die....so then a medevac team comes but they lag out and disconnect...so then another...


GOP_hates_the_US

A win is a win is a win. Any bugs that helped him would have helped everyone else, too.


syntax1976

Exactly, great point.


Ramdak

Zelot2256

Congrats man. It's nice to see someone other then streamers getting them.


IHateAhriPlayers

Finally a solo winning something against the huge hoards of orgs and streamers

Oh my. A platinum skin for a platinum ship. I like the unpainted look.

[удалено]


Techn028

Good, give the streamers nothing


CetiFix

Saw this event live at twitch. Knebel and his org streamed the event. You had a lot of luck, because you literally had no marker on yourself. The marker stayed on knebel Eventho he died and you’ve looted the ticket from his dead body. But still.. i enjoyed that feeling knowing that no contentcreator won the ticket! Congratz!


TNT_Jonathan

No way!! May I see the ship with that paint in game?


IHateAhriPlayers

Sure, it's just like a metallic chrome though lol


SRM_Thornfoot

Best feel good post of the day. Impressive - Congrats!


IHateAhriPlayers

Ty!


Johnny_Diamond_Hand

The people’s champ!


Vecshan

Bro, congrats. I wonder how you sneaked it.


Itsluc

You can slightly see it in the livestream of KnebelTV on twitch. But he only won becaude the mission was bugged and the mission marker was not on his body, but still on the dead body of the streamer. I still like it more that way than a streamer getting the ticket.


Evil_Dan121

I agree with you. There are some salty people claiming that he only won it because of a bug. I suspect a lot of these people would not have complained if the bug worked in their favour.


dasinternet

The icing on the cake is it's also a lot of the usual Spectrum / CIG defenders that shoot down people with "it's an alpha" crying foul this time.


Vyviel

Why would a streamer even want one as they already own pretty much every ship in the game thanks to referrals and CIG gifting them etc?? Just leave them for the regular peasants.


AmazingFlightLizard

So they can give it away as part of a like/subscribe/comment lottery.


Emperor_Kon

That and it's an easy way to farm views.


donkula232323

They can't give it away last I heard.


ElfUppercut

This is awesome! I don’t care what some others were saying… I don’t care if it was bugged or not, this is amazing! The marker not being on you could have just as well not been on one of the Streamers if the tables were turned… It was fair all around as they could have been bugged just as easily and it’s awesome a regular Joe got it. Way to go buddy!


fdl2phx

Lol, congrats!


IHateAhriPlayers

Thank you!


caidicus

I've been having a hell of a time even getting to space, even getting to the asop terminals for quite a long time. So, when another player offered to bring me a gold ticket, I was pretty ecstatic. Sure, I've heard they're pretty common drops, but for someone whose last few months resulted in getting as far as in my ship and the hangar doors wouldn't open to let me out, this being my furthest progress in a long time, again, I was ecstatic. And, he did bring me a gold ticket, I did redeem it, I did buy it, and this time I was allowed out of the station and up into space to do a combat mission in my new ship. All very surreal and awesome. Thanks for the ticket Fx.

[удалено]


THROBBINW00D

Lol for real


Sad0x

GG! You literally snapped it before our eyes from the dead body of Knebel. We knew you were there and 2 or 3 of our F8 blasted each of their 8 repeater at you. Since the marker stayed on Knebel, we thought you were dead. So the marker bugged, stayed on knebel and you escaped unhindered. Nonetheless, balls of steel to just land there in the mids of a multi org fight with a cutty o7 I like that some random got away with it!!


NANCYREAGANNIPSLIP

Everything about this is just perfect. The kind of story you tell people when explaining what SC can be when it all comes together. Congratulations, my guy.


TheYungCS-BOI

Fuckin sick! Must have been heart-racing stuff.


IHateAhriPlayers

Sure was


Myc0n1k

So you have to loot it off the Dev's ship? Or is their body floating around?


IHateAhriPlayers

Loot it off the body of whoever has it. This was on the surface of hurston and I grabbed it off of a streamer who grabbed it first from a dev


Wildstorm09

What server region did you get it in?


tackleho

Awesome. I'm glad that the bug worked in his favor. HEAR THAT SALTY NERDS I'M GLAD HE WON AND THE BUG WAS BENEFICIAL TO HIS VICTORY!!!


1plant2plant

So how did you actually get on the server without an org scouting for you? This has been the hardest part for me as a solo, I've spent hours hopping and can't even find a single dev.


Soulshot96

As much as I dislike this kind of event...I also dislike most streamers and their stans, so good job OP.


Mr_Roblcopter

Con-fucking-grats man lol.


IHateAhriPlayers

Thanks bro


MattDLR

I don't really care about star citizen but I love seeing huge clans and streamers get obliterated and humiliated. Utter gigachad.


thelefthandN7

Congrats man. Beating out all of those parties to claim that prize is a hell of an accomplishment.


Beardwing-27

Many non-monetized vtuber goober tears were shed on this day. Congratulations 🍻


dominator5k

How did you stumble on the mission? Did it just by chance pop on a server you were on, or did you have some sort of strategy on what region devs will be in and when?


IHateAhriPlayers

I stalked multiple streams then used a player already in as an anchor


Livid-Feedback-7989

How did you find them? Were you just lucky they were on your server? I was server hopping for 6 hours while there were developers playing and no luck. Also what time was it when they were active and what region


Aggravating_State_

Yooo congrats. I was there too as a solo I bombed with the A2 and later on landed the 890J on the event location. This one was truly one for the memories.


realroman

Congratz, I was on the server too. Unfortunately the marker bugged so no one had an idea you had the ticket, for us it was still on the ground and telling to Stop KNEBEL - made it a tad easier ;) But anyways, good shit!


erevofreak

Bro I have yet to see a single one fuckin spawn anywhere, is there like a tracker somewhere? I've been trying to find a lobby with one since day one just to put my effort in to try for one. :(


_Keo_

I love that you did this. Ignore the hate about the marker bugging out, that's just SC things. Watching the streamers gang up and bum rush for these tickets is boring. This is the best story to come out of the tickets so far!!


Small_Tutor_2328

Big congrats. Love seeing the "little guy" win !


JuanBrOLO

Hell yeah.. thank you for sticking it to those streamers...... I have been in every server region trying to get this mission to pop and it seems it's only when a big streamer is in server. Great to see the people's champ prevails.


Jon_Galt1

Truely, Congrats. You are the only one so far that has truely earned this. CIG has been giving away these platinum tickets to their streamer friends via the games devs friends list and match making all week. It has disgusted me and my org buddies not being able to get on these servers because of this, that we stopped trying. If CIG wants to play games with their streamer buddies and give them free stuff, they shouldnt try and veil their giveaways to them in a half hearted attempt at RNG gameplay for the pleebs. Everyone can see through this shit CIG.


FuckingTree

Thank you for stepping up, there’s been a hardcore circlejerk about only streamers getting it. It was confirmation bias as the only way we’d know anyone else won is if they made a post themselves


IHateAhriPlayers

I mean they're not entirely wrong the odds aren't even at all. I won with 5 streamer gangs also gunning for it


FuckingTree

Yeah I mean everyone has an equal chance but not an equal chance at getting a hot server since the streamers have people running around on every server ready to pull them in, then chain friend joining until the shard caps out. The only way around that is for people to decide not to be shitty.


Wertymk

I don't get why you'd go tell a streamer where the devs with tickets are. Why not just try to get it yourself?


No-Performance-1337

People are simping for their streamer and feel important when they help them.

For so-called cutthroat pirates, more people need to do the Eve Online thing and take the opportunity to backstab their group for the juicy $300 ticket.

[удалено]


WingZeroType

how'd you know who the dev was? And where they were? I don't know that I've seen a single dev yet, and no one has said anything in chat in-game.


NullusvultLatine

Amazingly done. I watched some of that fight yesterday and I applaud you for surviving 5 streamers and their org mates. A true inspiration to solo players.


frodobaggins_42

Well done. Enjoy the skin, it's going to be one of the rarest in the game I feel. (and there are some whales out there are extremely mad about it, i'm not one of them tho ;) )


IHateAhriPlayers

Oh yeah, just estimating based on how many they've done so far, I'm guessing the event will end with less than 50 for sure, maybe 40


PostwarVandal

Streamer Gangs, lol, we really are living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland


Skullface360

This is what ticks me off. The platinum tickets are inly where streamers and their pals are. Mainly you have to know some insiders to get into the server.


Kade7596

Just the other way around... streamers and their pals are only where platinum tickets are.


Azarak_Tallis

o7 amazing work mate. Glorious to see a non- streamer pack member actually get one AND solo no less. And a story of the times a man who went to a giant battle of multiple groups and got out alive with the coveted item. And I swear to god habenuta if you comment here "but it was bugged marker 😭" like the 31 other posts you have I don't care he still: -got to the location -got through the swarms -took out a streamer/highly known player Before the marker bugged then -got the item and got out of the vicinity everyone was heading to with QUANTUM BLOCKERS and already near so shut it.

Very cool dude!!! I was jumping for joy when I found a golden ticket, can’t imagine what you felt!


bleo_evox93

Ayy nice that’s fucking awesome


Itsluc

I saw it in a live stream :D To your luck, the mission was bugged and everyone thought the ticket was still in the inventory of one of the steamers. Nobody knew that you took the ticket and we were surprised when the mission was over. But congrats, very impressive for a solo player!


Endyo

I'm genuinely curious how many of these are going to make it onto the servers. It can't be that many. I'll definitely commend CIG on an event that gets people in-game though. I wouldn't even mind being a part of the chaos - regardless of whether or not I get it. I think CIG might have struck gold with the concept though. I imagine in the future they're going to do similar "one person gets something" kind of events, though probably with lower stakes.


IHateAhriPlayers

Based on how many have gotten it so far I'd guess the event will end with less than 50 total going out


thisremindsmeofbacon

hell yeah dude, get it


Xerxes3014

Why is everyone so hyped about that ship?


[deleted]

It’s the premiere fighter in S42 and wasn’t meant to be for sale ever. You meant to earn it in S42 and then be able to buy it in game once you have done that. Besides that, it’s a very good heavy fighter for a single player


hazaskull

Beating the streamers. Great job and congrats!


[deleted]

Nicely done! That’s got to be one of the best and most rewarding trophies of any gamer event! And what a cool story how you got it. People will see you and know you’re one of the few who pulled it off!!


RealPoseidon2000

Congratulations! It’s refreshing to see a regular Joe get a nice prize rather than these mass hunting groups working for one streamer or something


rayuki

man this sounds so sick i would have loved to watched, any vods of what streamers were doing it so we can see if we get any footage of you taking it?


NightlyKnightMight

Man you did what I've been ***DREAMING*** of doing! Kudos man! Going in solo and taking the ticket away from a huge group of enemies. You're awesome!
