Now that's an Epic Battle!
Okay, my hands are still shaking from that epic battle...
I was on a smuggling mission and I just dropped off the big load/payday and was on my way to the next one. After taking out about 4 ships (NPC) on the way, I was ready for another battle. It's been rather quite during this run.
So there I am, live streaming my smuggling run when I get interdicted by an Anaconda/expert. Okay, I'm feeling frisky. I'll fight rather then run, after all that's what make the smuggling runs fun, and I can cash in the bounties after - more credits.
Well the battle was fierce let me tell you, but the force was on my side. I kept hearing warnings of my canopy going down, then poof, out goes the glass. With a broken canopy (and forgetting to up the oxygen in my python), I had to continue to fight with no HUD. The Anaconda was hurt bad too, so I continued as the battle raged on. I can hear my missile locking sounding so knowing I'm at close range, I fire - Boom, Anaconda zero, me one! I survive.
Now with my oxygen counting down, I high tail it to the next station and look at my damage. OMG, I'm at 3% hull left. If I would have seen that while fighting I think I would have fainted!
I manage to make it to the outpost, oxygen restored but as I suspected, no repairs there. So now I have another 10min supply to make it to the next big station. Only problem is, I have no working HUD and I'm carrying Illicit cargo. Slowly I make it to the big station, get permission to land and boost, boost, boost in till I touch down.
Getting out of my beautiful, but badly damaged python (we've been through a lot together), I kiss the ground, throw the ground crew the keys and say fix it up please. Time for a cup of Tea.
Who says smuggling covert cargo is easy money...
