Craziest Kill of the Week

[scorpyon]

So, what would you say was your craziest or unexpected kill this week?

For me, I was fighting a Federal Dropship last night, looking for some easy bounty money. Should have been a really simple affair but I'm not the best pilot in the galaxy... Yet...

Anyway, I'd got him down to low hull strength. 5%...4..3...2...1...
Almost done! Then while I'm stupidly watching the hull reading instead of the 'road', the little git slams on his brakes. I go careening into him taking a fair chunk of damage. But I'm ok. Still got plenty of hull left and he is on 1%.

I'm careening around a bit while I try to stabilise and suddenly he's raining red laser death on my face. Shields go out like a wink. Damn! But he only needs a few more shots from my multicannons. Easy ride to £30k.

Then it happens. I hadnt realised the extent of the collision damage. As I wheel myself round for a final knife fight charge another burst of fire rattles my hull. My thrusters and stabilisers go out and suddenly I'm spinning out of control through space. I cant line up the shot. I'm a sitting duck waiting to wrapped up and served with lashings of hoi sin.

So unfair! I almost had him!

As I sit there spinning away and awaiting the agonising oncoming death to arrive, I am gifted with the ultimate divine gift from the Space Gods. Mr Federal Dripship decides to sweep around for a final pass at me and as he does so, flies directly across my windscreen and crosshairs.

I dont hesitate and unleash everything in my loadout.

BOOOOM!

I leap from my seat and punch the air. 'Ave that, son!

Then I go and make a cup of tea.

So, how was your day?

Not so much craziest kill, but craziest interdiction. I was interdicted in my asp, by a sidewinder....with no shields. I got the "die scum" and the fight took less than two seconds. Felt guilty...for about two seconds...

I killed an NPC Python in my T6. Sure he had no shields but still.

I think crazy deathwish NPCs make this game so much more fun!

I don't know, I must be missing something here.

Today I was interdicted by an eagle (in my Cobra) then another eagle appeared and attacked me to so I was fighting two ships at once, the first one was very good took a bit of time to kill then I got the 2nd down to around 30% and he decided that was enough and jumped away, then I jumped to next system in my route and was interdicted again by an adder with no shields, he died very quickly.

With all that trading you should consider a more appropriate ship than a cobra....

But you know what would have made that even better?
