Well now, I discovered something new today. Have been around since Beta, watched development of this game, kept up to date on the forums (man there really are some trolls around). Love it, absolutely love it.
So here is me, trading away quite happily. Never really fired anything in anger. Traded my way up to a Type 6, couple of million credits in the bank thats when it hits me. Boredom... lets try something else. Ooooh a Cobra, why not. So I store my truck and get a mk3. Put some extra mods on it, big weapons lets go! Heh... yeah oops. First mission is Naval Progression (Federation). Hunt down somebody bad...or something... hey lets just go and try out my new ship!
This is where my madness truly began.
Head out into the wide galaxy looking for some chappy to shoot at. Eventually find him.. a Federal Dropship? Cant be that bad can it? Yes, I can tell you it is. As a Novice combat pilot it really is. So twice he gets me, have to do the rebuy of shame (always have insurance kids!). Third time around I get so close, then he cracks my canopy... fleeeee! Manage to limp to a station and repair. Ok lets pick on something smaller shall we. Head out again. Get interdicted by a NPC Sidewinder. Easy! See I can do this. Dispatch him quickly and claim a £3000 reward. Ooooh you get money for shooting bad people, yay! Head back to claim bounty and reload. Head out again, interdicted again (are Mk3's magnets or something?). Hey this guy is unshielded, whats an Anaconda? Can't be that difficult. Yeah, Ouch. First salvo from him, there goes my shields. Second, hull is down to 20% (I thought it was meant to be reinforced dammit!). Close hardpoints, divert all power to engines, charge FSD and..... FLEEEEEE. Head back to station, lick wounds. Then I pause, Im hooked again!
Damn you Frontier for making such a flipping good game!
