5 Million Bounty

Aewarin Jameson · Jan 24, 2015

Hi Commanders

My first PvP encounter ... left all shaking and everything

Not 100% sure what happened but met a pilot in Shinrarta with a 5 million bounty on them.

I mean, come on, you just have to have a go right despite them taunting me "not wise commander" ?!

(They were in a clipper and myself a cobra)

I know it wasn't my "skill" as I am pants at this game so I can only assume you blew yourself up ?

Now I need a stiff drink before cashing in on this bad boy.

Thanks CMDR !

Cha-ching! Was it a good fight from the Clipper CMDR?

That's pretty epic! Well done, commander.

Nice hunting CMDR.

Sometimes your lucks in! WTG!

Well hunted! Don't wait too long to cash it or the dark gods will boost your ship into the station wall.

Wish there was some video for this, I would love to see the action, then the shocked inhalation and awe as you saw that bounty message flashed to your info panel.

Was that xxxx ?

I've seen him flying around Shinrarta and LFT 926 with a bountied Clipper and debated trying to claim the bounty (which showed as ~260k to me as I don't run a KWS), as he had a loadout that would likely not have fared well against mine. However, I dismissed the idea as he's never interdicted or attacked me and I don't kill people for as flimsy a justification as a bounty...that said, when I saw he had a multi-million credit bounty on the news feed, I almost reconsidered my stance.

Oh I was getting my rear handed to me ... shields went offline in seconds; canopy breached; I was all fingers and thumbs .. so I really don't know how.

Anyway .. still need that drink as I am all jelly wobbly

400 Billions systems, and you find that guy in your living room?

So...

This was my bounty.

Here's the full story.

This dude attacked me in front of a station...Forget the fact that the station didn't help at all, despite my allied status with it.

I distance myself from the station and engage. He is not even a worthy target. I strip his shields in moments, bring down his power plant down to like 10% with his hull down to 20% or so. I then choose (like an idiot) to clip him with my wing by ramming him. I assign full pips to shields...Mind you I have more than 2 rings left...and I crash into him with my wing. The impact kills me, despite the fact that his ship weighs 80 T while mine weighs 600. Despite the fact that he was at 20% and I was at 100%. Despite the fact that I had shields and he did not.

What the hell, FD?

5 million is not flimsy....
that is even in trade not flimsy at all...

Morbad · Jan 24, 2015

Cobra's might have bugged ramming damage. I've been extremely successful ramming with them, and almost been destroyed out of the blue when trying to ram them.

I rammed one with an Asp, and it knocked me down to 1% hull (after which I ran back to the station and sold the ship), through my shields, without even taking a ring off the Cobra. I stay well a way from high speed collisions with Cobra now, no matter what ship I'm in.

don't be salty if you played like a notorious B.I.G (replacement for curse) you deserved to die

I guess that Clippers have fuel tanks in the wings like terrestrial aircraft.
Bummer for you, but major score for newbie guy!

I know you, I rammed you with my Cobra and died, since you wouldn't stop interdicting me. God's mill grinds slow but sure, huh?

Redan · Jan 24, 2015

Look, I don't even mind my 3 million credit rebuy cost...

But that bounty should have gone to somebody who was worthy of beating me. Not some stupid glitch that causes my ship to be a tissue.

Thank you for posting .. I couldn't confirm Morbad's post until you did so now it's OK.

I attacked you as you had a 5 million bounty .. I mean .. come on - that's more than I have earned since the start

Attacking players outside stations is OK as long as you don't shoot the station. (I was fined 400cr in total!)

Yes - I was completely out classed and out played - you should have finished me.

However - thanks

It isn't that difficult to accept and move on though, is it?

Have you ticketed this?
