There I am, Imperial cmdr in a Fed Haz Res with an uneasy stand off with 3 Vultures (at least 2 are Feds - Dangerous & Master ranks)
.
Now unfortunately the pickings are slim in the instance which may explain the following events. I had deliberately kept some distance with these cmdrs and as luck would have it a nice juicy gunship appeared. I steadily reduced it's pp & about to add the 80k credits to my Panama a/c when the Master Vulture zooms in, fires a couple of Class 3s and steals it!
.
Oh dear, it's definitely gonna kick off now! Now I have my own rules for how to engage in PvP..so I fire one m/c shell..he turns and faces me, we do one pass & turn again..this is where I open fire in a head to head! The vid is not edited but I only have my Shadowplay set to 5mins so this start is missing but picks up a few seconds later.
..
The vid is notable for 3 main errors which nearly cost me my ship, especially when my distributor malfunctions at 3:30; those errors were caused by being distracted by the other ships & trying to position myself with them in mind too which is hard with two & almost impossible with 3!
.
I hit two asteroids which costs me nearly 45% hull, but more importantly my upper hand with the positional advantage! These hits compounded my first basic error - failing to fire off all of my SCBs..again very poor & I had a bad feeling about the way things were going!
.
My favourite bit is at 4:30 when one unidentified Cmdr logs out..I have no idea what he thought I was going to do on 4%hull!! It was an exciting fight though, in the balance right to the end & with no reversing which although a valid tactic, ruins fights imo!
