My 1st combat death - finally!

[GunnerBill]

Props to the new NPC AI's!

I recorded my 1st KIA in a HICZ and actually it's a bit of a relief - it doesn't hurt as much as you might think.

There's a big improvement in AI since coming back from my hol's and whilst I used to ignore the Eagles/Vipers picking shots at me whilst I went after Pythons etc in my Vulture I learned my lesson yesterday has caused me to change my tactic.

3 or 4 ganged up on me and before I could react my shield cells were spent and I was toasted. So from now I'm going to be thinning out the fighters a bit more in between preying on the larger ships.

P.S. And I don't think the two small sherries I had helped either...

Inebriation improves an already stellar game.

When outnumbered in a fight the best tactic is your back against the wall.
Only in space there isn't one. So run!

Welcome. I'm about twenty deaths ahead of you. As SJA shifts the number of standard deviations for the AI's, we're going to have a party.

And, yes, I'm rubbish, as the Brits would say. Everybody eventually is.

Died in a cobra learning how many ships I could fight alone, died in an asp when everyone turned hostile on me (still never figured out why, I wasnt shooting at the time), have never died in a vulture or FDL but have been to 30% hull in both with multiple people shooting at me as I run for the nearest station.

Combat is much more fun now, since the improved AI. It's the way to go imo

Sherries? Deadly stuff.
What vintage? I hear 3192 from Lave is a damn fine vintage; very expensive. Probably beyond our purses though.
I like port as well.
