PvP First PvP Encounter

Sounds like your friend has run into some pirates from The Code.
They do such things, they value roleplaying fun more than credits. :)

But yes, what was the joke? Hopefully a good one.
 
Unfortunately, the joke my friend told would likely get me banned from this forum.
It isn't the sort of thing I'd repeat.
 
My friend was confronted with an aggressive player in the Eravate system.
The price of free passage: A joke.
My friend told him a joke and he was then free to go.

Sounds like our old friend Punished Mobius. Haven't seen him around these parts in a while.
 
Not my first PVP, but my first this evening: I went to Wyrd in my moderately outfitted Cutter to say "Hi" to my old mate The Dweller.

Hmm. At least 3 hollow squares... ah no: 4. One's now a red triangle.

Anaconda, I lost the interdiction, dropped out and the wing of 4 opened fire. I randomly selected a system for escape while boosting and turning, shields went down, still boosting and thrusting, I managed to type a quick "Ha Ha!" in chat as the FSD charged up, got it aligned, a final boost, and Bam: escaped with 17% hull, 40% PP and thrusters and my dignity.

A close call and a warning to visitors to Wyrd this evening.

Well done! I have a couple of macros for boosting away during the FSD spinup cycle. One is "boost left", the other is "boost right" its fun to watch their dumbfire missiles and other fixed weps fire buzz harmlessly past me for those 10 secs. I'm impressed you took the time for "haha" over comms. You know your being video taped for youtube and imagine the shame if you failed after posting that :D

Ha ha, yeah, it was fun. Sehr gut! Streng euch mehr an!

It certainly livened up my evening and gave my recent engineerings a thorough test. I decided to avoid Wyrd for a few days afterwards... I was so focused on escape that I didn't even clock what ships the other three were in, only the 'conda.
And FYI Tembo Kubwa means large elephant, and I can assure you, the Cutter has a thick skin, just like it's namesake. 🐘🐘🐘
