*facepalm*... *faceplant*

Word to the wise... DO NOT crash into the Anaconda you have got down to 5% hull and are lining up the kill-shot on when he unexpectedly brakes and pitches into your flight path... EVADE do not get buck fever and just start firing... You go splat... Even in a pimped asp with full shields you're going to be looking at lost bounties and a horrible insurance bill.

I was feeling good that I was about to take this guy all the way out, now I feel like a total klutz.

Ah well, c'est la vie. nearly 250k of accumulated bounties and a hold-full of Be out the window. I'm trading to rebuild my credit cushion and he's laughing all the way to the nav beacon while wiping the fragments of my previous ship off his hull. :p
 
You live and learn...or in this case..not

Ouch :D

"Ouch" is about right, yeah. Fortunately I was keeping 2xInsurance in reserve so I didn't have to "trade naked" after the splat. Still feel like an idiot for that bonehead move though.

I have been there myself... had around 120k in bounties, was fighting an Anaconda, when I hear Frame Shift Detected... Crap, he is trying to run! So I full speed to close the gap when he banks right into me and I pop...

And that is how its done folks. Cash in reserve, a wry smile and a shrug of the shoulders.

Have some rep.
 
Great attitude! I was doing some smuggling of black boxes and in my attempt not to get scanned, I turned off flight assist,went on silent running and just as I got close to the entrance, turned all systems on...and hit boost! straight to the rear of the Tattoo and boom haha
