Buzzing the tower (of a capital ship)

[hort_wort]

Well... I stumbled into a capital ship a few minutes ago.

I was enamored. I was circling the mighty vessel, looking up through my window and ignoring the chat messages warning me to stay away. "It's so pretty... look at that turning thing," I said to myself. "Oh! Is that a torpedo launcher or a hangar? It's HUGE!!"

After one full circle, the radar contact went from green to red. The combat music started.

I didn't even try. It launched a wave of fighters right away. I put all power to my engines and burned sky until I saw lines! Looking at my reputation, I have red arrows everywhere. They reallllly didn't like that. Part of me though is still sort of curious: how many seconds would I have lasted?

Any time you guys have ever bitten off more than you could chew and you knew​ it?

I used to routinely kill the Imperial Majestic-class Interdictors. They're so unbelievably easy to kill, just blast all of the heat vents. I hear, however, that the Federation's ships are a ton harder to send packing (And they look so much better too!).
