I got sloppy lately and got surprised by Scavengers after powering up a base - high level reinforcement with plasma weapons.
Literally ran into a bunch of them after exiting the PWR carelessly.
Had almost no suit energy, no reserve cells and they were just finishing blowing up my SRV.
I instantly decided that "tactical retreat" could be a way to solve this unpleasant situation, so I jumped on the roof, turned light off and started to run for my life.
Naturally my ship was parked more then 500m away, so I took a bit of running in darkness with plasma balls flying around me to get to it.
Luckily my persecutors were slower then me, so intensity of their cannonade was getting weaker as I was further and further from base.
I really have to try this in VR, because even on normal UW monitor it was pretty intense "adventure" - my character breathing hard, no time to turn back and check the situation, just hoping I will make it.
