First Blood Drawn. I'm coming for you, Commander...

So there I am, chatting away to the girlfriend over the comms-link, telling her I'll be at Lave Station soon and in her warm, loving arms. I come across a fellow Commander in a Sidewinder. He pings me a message. Tells me Lavecon is coming in June. Tells me now he's now going to send me to the rebuy screen so I don't forget. Then he interdicts me. He's feisty, good with the interdiction mini-game.

"What's wrong?" the missus asks me. Nothing, as I start taking evasive action. I hit Silent Running, and that buys me time. Good, I low-wake out of there. He's fast. Real fast.

"Uh-huh" I say, balancing the phone to my ear. He's back again, "Yeah. Oh did she? And then what did you say?" I ask, pretending to be paying attention.

Meanwhile this is getting serious. He's hitting me, and I'm evading, but he's still hitting me. Hull is going down. This guy's good. Real good, I think, with the phone still plastered to my ear.

I low-wake again, but as quickly as I can select a system to high-wake to and charge the Hyperdrive, he's back on it. This Commander has smelt blood. My blood.

"You're not listening to me, are you?" she asks. "What are you doing?"

"Huh? Oh nothing, just tinkering with the system. There's a couple of things I'm trying to fix" I say as sparks shower me from the control panel. I'm down to 20% hull. Can't jump. Thrusters down. I hit boost one final time, in defiance, before an explosion tears the hull of my beloved Cobra MK3 apart.

Now, I'm annoyed. I'm Elite in Exploration, and I'm 66% in Tycoon, on the way to Elite in Trading. I never saw myself as a fighter, but I learn quick and I'm tenacious. I didn't draw first blood. You did. I'm going to get a Sidewinder. I'm going to arm it, I'm going to prepare it, and then I'm going to look for you. And the last thing you'll see is my war paint as I fly past the burning husk of your flying Ford Fiesta. And then you will know.

I have your name, I'm going to be studying your methods, and I know what you fly.

That whisper in the Black you think you hear. That's the sound of my vengeance getting closer...

Good, luck, good hunt, may your aim be true! And don't lose your cool when you deal with him, don't let him to tick you off by words. Keep your anger cool as space itself, and hound him until begs mercy.

Careful op. Hunting down this guy and killing him for revenge is apparently griefing.

But to blow him up just for fun, out of the blue with no reason at all is not? o_O

Yeah... Well? this kind of retaliations going to stop if FD do something against griefers. But until than? No chance! And they are even have a morally hard time to challenge us because of it.

I see your mistake right there. The proper response is, "Quiet woman, I'm engaged in battle!" ;)

So for anybody who might still remember this, I was soundly beaten. Several times. I think the lowest I managed to bring his armour down was to 39%

I'm not bitter. I had a lot of fun, and learned loads about combat builds and PvP. I'll keep practicing, and maybe one day, I'll have my victory, and then I'll celebrate quietly and savour it.

Nah, just kidding. I'll probably plaster it all over the forums when it happens [yesnod]

Revenge is a dish best served when you catch your adversary in a shieldless cutter full of Palladium and you spread them across the stars like soft butter across hot pancakes.

I'm pretty sure this dude is Archon Fury aka Cillit Bang & is one of the legendary PvPers in this game...so don't feel too bad OP!..& you won't find him for a while, he's taking a bit of a break apparently.

...many great, great, exceptionally awesome pilots have befallen the same fate ie me :p - I lost to his Viper III in a Vulture, a while back! Embarrassed & that! [blah]

Great post TS. This is some good spirited PVP.

I'm guessing your opponent was running reverb cascade mines and a dispersal cannon...

Wait, he has a video showing himself defeating a Deadly ranked CMDR in a DBX whilst in his unshielded Sidey and you have nothing but "contempt for that creep?" Wow Clavis, that's a really powerful sentiment.

I just watched that video too, and I don't think the "Deadly" means a lot in this case. The guy barely even shot back.

Not that I think I'd do a lot better, that Sidewinder is probably tanked-up enough to absorb my entire ammo supply. :p But at least I'd escape properly!
