Yesterday i had the most significant experience with this game so far.
disclamer:
Fraps gave me a lot of problems and just in the most emotional moment, it left me without the necessary tools to testify the event. After this, I will not going to use it anymore.
This text (and the chunks of video+some images) is/are the only resource at witness of this amazing moment of gameplay.
I had also a problem with the audio.. so
apologies for some strange noises you could hear.
At the Mountain of Madness, yes a single one and probably the most awesome i found till now.
25 km tall, 15.53 miles, 82021 feet, 25000 meters, 2,5e+6 cm !!!!
this is a monster mountain.
so i felt forced to try the climbing.
but first off a prologue.
2 days ago i decided it was the right time to start an exploration trip, far away from the usual routes.
after some jumps at a certain point i noticed a strong signal source (so far away from the bubble ??), i am curious by nature so i dropped from supercruise, to see what is it.
Sadly i found only a poor npc that was trying to escape some pirates... my ship is not set for a war so i pushed the Hyperspace button to avoid all that mess.
But before leaving i noticed a message in the chat ''what we have here..'' from an NPC named Rodenburg.
Then i jumped to another system re-starting my scanning work on celestial bodies...
Later i jumped again and i found Rodenburg there, awaiting me.
But this time he said nothing in the chat so i thought it was only a random NPC that is moving around by its own.
WRONG !
From that moment he followed me at every new system i visited.. it was like a ''catch the fox''.
2 times i was able to avoid him: i went near a planet at maximum speed, then i stopped my engines, he went straight and dropped from supercruise blocked by the planet masslock.
But the third time was fatal.
Trying to scan a new planet i found this 'Synuefai QE-H B56-2 1' and i noticed its gigantic mountain.
Trying to land there, the NPC followed me till surface of the planet (!!) and out of the supercruise he started to firing at me (without logic reason i guess:
i don't have any bounty and i don't have cargo..)
This NPC uses a FerDeLance ship and scared me as hell.
We fought above the mountain, i was frightened ... luckly before starting the expedition i was able to put a good beam laser and a good cannon with automatic signature on the ship.
And luckly he was fool enough to fly around the mountain.
So we fought near the peak, we fought for life !!
The fight was so intense... i was scared to loose my ship. But at the end i won and when i fired the last bullet to him i saw his ship broken into several pieces.
All of them were falling on the surface of the planet.
then i landed (to 'the stating point' that you can see in the video) and i tried to climb up the mountain with the SVR.
It was epic, it was intense and emotional.
Several tentative, several falls ... ''never give up, never surrender''
i reached an higher place and probably i would be able to go further.. but it was very late so i decided to recall the ship and reach the summit flying.
The ship landed down to the base of the mountain, so i went down (carefully) with my SVR ...
the videos shows only a bit of what it is been.

The fatigue, the beat of my heart (i was scared to loose the SVR the only one i have, to buy another i must go back to the bubble and i don't want do that), the hopes for reach the top and going back alive to tell it to someone.
absolutely fantastic.
