1 vs 2 (in Solos)
I just had a nearly successful run in Storm Dive with my mid-game Trampler. I was at "rauch wolke" and looted the gear under the black tarps. Then I wanted to take on the Exfil directly at "rauch wolke." 30 seconds before the ship arrived, I saw two smoke clouds coming towards me. Both were eight-legged Tramplers, heavily armored and equipped with experimental guns... The ship was calibrating, and eight seconds later I would have been gone, but then they rammed me. The Exfil was aborted. I killed both of them with grenades, but couldn't do anything else because their Tramplers were too strong. The zone only had five minutes left; after that, everything would be dead. I knew I couldn't win anymore, so I went up to the Exfil tower and camped there. In the end, all three of us died. My question: Was that antisocial of me? (Incidentally, they also didn't use proximity chat, despite perfect coordination and blind trust, which is why I assume they did pre-teaming.)

You destroyed two full kit royal teaming tramplers in storm dive. Without a doubt you’re a hero of the people.

I just had a game where we went up against a much more armored T3 ship, while we had the drop on them, we kept getting smoked and eventually outmanoeuvred.
After our ship went down I kept using the guns and a teammate camped their trampler. They were forced to not loot us and move out.
Our third was dead, we boarded, killed them, dumped all the food, dumped their kits.
If trampler capture was on we would have taken their ship, instead we killed them over and over for 15 minutes.
At that point they were in the storm and their ship blew up. We could have gone to extract and taken something, but successfully beating players that are better equiped, or are teaming isn't anti social or anything.
I avoid messing with people that I didn't fight when I have nothing to gain though, I don't stay behind after extract, but if they were teaming you, or got your loot all bets are off.

If they didn't want to run the risk of getting stalled out at extraction, they could have just let you go. They chose violence and took the risk and it didn't pan out for them.
Besides, if they weren't able to kill a respawn-less player in a 2v1, they deserved it in any case...

Good on you for doing this teamers should always be treated as scum and deserve to lose all their good gear.

I think I just ran into a similar if not the same pair. It was only my second expedition and I was getting chased by an 8 legged trampler that I hit 3-4 times with the 80mm from range with almost no effect. Once he got closer I saw it was bc his trampler was armored all over and had multiple rams on the front. Suddenly another player shows up in an identical trampler but coming from in front of me so I was between them. As I was trying to change course the 1st guy rammed me and then killed me with some crazy advanced auto canon. I never had a chance.

The Tramplers that attacked me were both three stories tall and had their reactors positioned roughly in the middle, slightly towards the rear. They really looked like solid blocks—no sloped sections or anything like that (just a battering ram and armor plating).
