Apologies for crashing into you

Tay · Jun 9, 2014

Apologies to anyone who had me (well my ship) crash into them last night in one of the space stations.

I popped away from my PC for 5 minutes to come back to find my 10 year old daughter happily trying out the Joystick.

Was amusing to watch at first, then she said that was her 2nd ship, at which point I removed said Joystick from her little fingers.

Aha! So that was the reason why you suddenly went back to the erratic flying. You took over from the competent pilot

Suuuuurrrre. Blame your daughter...

Lol :-D

A little crashing is a great way to learn how not to fly! Put her back to it!

Tay · Jun 9, 2014

Luckily it was just an empty sidewinder and nothing expensive.

Haha! I actually did crash into someone / had someone crash into me as I was trying to dock. Got put in a spin by a ship undocking. I wonder if it was you? lol

Heh, I also had a slight prang with a Sidewinder last night in one of the stations, almost knocked me straight into a wall.

It was awesome.

It's good to see you Nico. Been a long time. Fond memories of DAoC.

I had a head on with someone yesterday afternoon, my first thought was this game is missing a button I can press that winds down the window and gives the finger to the other drive

Famous last words - I had my brand new Cobra dinged earlier by some loony Sidewinder trying to squeeze through the letterbox while I was filling it

Apologies to whoever was involved in the federation sandwich just now.

Both of us were going after 1 ship, i was attacking headon and friendly was chasing him, the enemy ship turned into debris and we promptly both collided into it/each other

Sorry that may have been me ! Kinda.... Misjudged that a bit ! I had successfully reached my target credit score and a feeling a bit full of myself. Now target credits minus insurance for one ship... Hope yours survived.
Was it at azeban !

Yep, it was at Azeban - apologies for the prang! My Cobra seemed to shrug it off quite happily, I don't think I hit the station walls, just spun around and left with a somewhat bemused expression
