Guess who i just met at Freeport

hehe, what a nice encounter...
dont worrying much about any player attacking me while camping at freeport (any assumptions about my intentions are welcome lol), i spotted another anaconda. was quite surprised when i read "CMDR Backer #1", and even more scared when i saw the bounty: $5,000,000 !!! seriously?
after 2 or 3 seconds of calming down, i too

if you now think "pic or id didnt happen" - here it is :)

notice to myself: next time ima check the proper picture link *before* hitting the post button...
needless to mention that it took me an (felt) eternity (2-3 seconds) to calm down and react by aligning the ship, and taking that screeny :p

Ka'plah!

Nice one... did you try taking him on? I mean, with that bounty he must want you to try :D

i suspect that was the case... but that bounty had to make me think that there's something different going on. under no circumstances i can imagine how a player could exactly hit that amount of 5m, with no players complaining about getting shot (for ridiculous ¢100+¢500 perhaps 10000'd times).

next time ima try *not* to be in a good mood, and collect that little pocketmoney, hahah

is there a poll on "who is backer #1"? my guess: hacker or dev. or both ^^
why did i write "hacker" first?

I've love a nice juicey fight with an Anaconda. :)
...then stay close to the fed distress signal, and chose eranin - tonight ima play on the feds' side. have fun!
 
I think it would be hilarious, with that size of bounty, if backer #1 turns out to be Chris Roberts lol. I mean both DB and CR are supporters of what each other are doing - it would be cool if each was backer #1 of each other's game.
 
Is it an NPC, it could have been thrown in by Frontier?

I'm guessing if not, alpha backer 1 is a dev or braben himself.
 
I always imagined Alpha Backer 1 would actually have a name. I suspect foul play. Not saying there is, I just suspect...

If it were Chris Roberts, he'd have crashed into something in record time. Did you see any of the videos where he was flying a Hornet? BEWM!@#&*(^#
