“However, hope rekindled when CMDR Punished Mobius caught up with Raan by leaving telepresence and returning to his Asp, which happened to be parked near Raan’s location. He successfully landed several shots on Raan. Yes, Raan survived. But nonetheless, Raan received the message loud and clear: Zarek Null and his associates are not to be trifled with.”
I am in stitches that I get a mention in the article because of my ROYALLY botched hit on Raan. Like it was just comical really. The "Not to be trifled with" comes across as dark and sinister when in reality It was such a comical failure on my part. First time I grabbed Raan I managed to turn off my entire ship when I deployed my hardpoints due to the fact I forgot to turn my fuel scoop back off. Second time I managed to land some shots. But "several" is being generous like maybe a couple as in literally 2 shots landed. I fired pack hounds but he was too fast and out Raan both the missiles and my ship. Which was to be expected really since I was in my Asp "Solidus Comet" that I slapped some guns on as a last ditch effort to catch up to him. After that there was a mass server disconnect and then lots of confusion as to where he was and what was going on with lots of people standing around so I decided to start attacking other unarmed players which is where yet another comedic failure happens. Well it's a bug so not all my fault... I attacked an Asp who had a no guns and a crew. But the crew wasn't a crew it was actually a wing...thanks to that UI bug i went and got myself killed when his buddies showed up who did have guns...And that is the end of that story. Still I can say I certainly got more out of that event than most people who participated did.
