Hi all, i was the python causing such chaos in Lave tonight.
I have to say it was great fun and although it was all kind of ad lib i feel it was a great fun night.
Couple of things i have to mention, i went to Lave to break the blockade that i had heard about on the forums and one thing led to another and eventually this pvp mass battle.
I had a deal with a few of my streaming friends that i would have a shot of rum for every shield cell i used and after about an hour or two of playing i had drunk over a pint of rum..lol
Needless to say i was very messy and the stream was not typical of my play style.
I have no ill feelings toward any combatants and full respect toward all elite gamers and even though i did express my feelings that the end result was a bit weak i really did mean that the finale felt a bit unrewarding in the sense that i wanted to see if i could fight the python 1v1 and win or lose. Of course vs a Python, 2 vipers and 3 police i died as i could not possibly have enough shield cells to cover that kind of fire power, let alone the fact that players interdicted me every time i entered cruise
It was just a fun pvp experience and i for one really enjoyed it. I expected to die and invited all stream viewers to snipe me. If i wanted to escape i could have easily run to another system rather than return for 3v1 combat over and over in lave but i felt people were having fun and didn't want to spoil the moment.
Worth pointing out that i had just enough to cover the insurance for 1 replacement of the ship, not hundreds of millions etc and each interdiction cos me 40k alone for every 2% damage. In total the event cost me 10 million and i now cannot afford even my insurance but it was worth it as it was such fun, i hope i did not cause others any big losses but i'm pretty sure i didn't.
I'm new to streaming and my giggling on killing players was not meant as an insult to their bravery but instead more down to mass rum and the comments on twitch from viewers.
Thx to all that watched and massive appreciation to all that took part, I salute every commander i fought and I respect your skills.
ps..i did ask all commanders i interdicted for cargo and only 10- 20 % of it, the only commanders i attacked on sight were those that attacked me without saying a word -which was the majority- and those that had already fought me several times throughout the night. As for a Commander which said "i surrender" and i killed that was 1-2 seconds of mouse clicking which i didn't mean to do, regretted it a lot and i have offered to drop cargo for the costs of their hull, also they are a regular viewer of my stream and we are friends so i'm sure they didn't really hate me for it.
Hope to do another attempt at pirating some day soon, this was my first attempt and i for one had a blast.
Fly safe commanders.
