Are you sure you weren't trying to kiss each other - the amount of times you rammed each other

I think he just wanted a hug

Oh I do so hope shield cell banks get redesigned, and soon. Watching this fight really highlights how silly they are. Perhaps something like this: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=164381

Like I heard in Reddit some time ago:
"When a Mommy Clipper and a Daddy Clipper like each other very much, they make little Couriers!"

I am curious as to why you did not target any subsystems in the fight. Some kind of unspoken honour code or forgetfulness?

Five minutes, 20 ramming attempts, and several shield cell banks later... the other guy just warps away. Riveting.

Oh dry your eyes, without cells combat would be very fast and extremely expensive.

And with shield cells combat is very slow and extremely more expensive.

Not really, shield cells are usually 100 each to reload so at most it's around 1000 credits more, maybe 2000 more, so not "extremely" more expensive
-
Explain to me how that is more expensive?
-
Without them I can be paying hundreds if thousands in repairs and if I die millions,
-
With them I spend a few thousand and that's it
-
It might be slower but in no way is it more expensive at all

Clippers are the biggest nuisance to fight in the game. Their ability to turn head on to me AND shoot me from their 90 degree up facing weapons is unparalleled.

The not-so-grammatically-correct keyword there was the "more" not the "extremely" since I was imitating your post (in case you didn't notice).

Combat is only less expensive if you don't die while using shield cells, otherwise, it's marginally "more" expensive to die with shield boosts than without since the modules cost a decent amount.

Funny that you fixated on the expense part though as it's hardly relevant, and as you said almost negligible anyway.

So you quote someone else and that's imitating my post?

The only things I've said in this post are the original which was saying I was travelling and got interdicted and the other said he just wanted a hug
-
So basically you've lost the plot

Mistakes were made. Replace the word "your" with "their."

There was a topic? I thought we were just discussing things related to the video in the OP?

Well aside from this little tangent that is.
