Is that a fly on the windscreen? No, I think it's an Adder!

There I am leaving a station tonight in my type-9 and an npc adder gets a bit close, bounces off the front of my ship and spins off to the left. I carry on a bit waiting to get out of masslock to jump and I can hear this scrapping noise, at first I thought the adder had damaged my ship somehow or maybe a sound sample was stuck looping. After a few seconds of confusion I remembered the debug cam and toggled it on: I scroll the mouse around and there is this poor adder hooked to the front of my ship and being dragged along on a death ride.

It made me chuckle imagining this poor adder pilot shouting to be noticed as the mammoth T9 drags it along. I was tempted to try engaging FSD to see if I could take my new friend for a spin but decided it might not end well for either of us.

Please... Do it again, but turn around and crush it into the station wall. Or use it a cushion against another big ship. Make a video of it!

Haha, priceless indeed. Some rep for you! Should go into the pilots-school book "Reason why you should clear the slot when something big is heading your way" :D

If that ever happens to me I'll FSD and see what happens.

I was tempted but with me being fully loaded at the time I didn't fancy the loss of credits if the ship had glitched & popped.
