I'm heading back towards the bubble, from my short exploration trip to the outer rim, trying to navigate through the maze of unknown permit regions.
Currently using my laptop to cover some ground quickly. My laptop can only really run the game at 0.5 supersampling, so I can't read hardly anything.
Anyhow, I make a casual jump to the next system.
And on arrival, I jump through a flippin' star, and drop out squashed between two very very close together stars!
Not being able to see my temperature guage, an panic somewhat and start spamming the heatsinks.
"Deploy all the heatsinks!", I scream in my head.
Only I can't see my firegroups either. I'm trying to spam the wake scanner. Lol
Temperature rising, and now setting off sparks and alarms (I can see and hear those), I quickly tab to the correct firegroup, and fire off a heatsink, and go full throttle directly "up" out of the inferno.
Looking back at what I'd endured, I'd actually jumped through a pair of stars, and dropped out between another pair.
And that was all that was in that system. Lol
That was the first time I nearly pooped.
Then a Distress Signal Source popped up. Threat 2.
"Hmmmmm, I've used my luck for one life time. I should ignore it.". I think to myself.
But I'm 1000~ly from civilization, and i do have a fuel transfer limpet. And an SLF and crew.
"Screw it, I'm going in!", I say out loud, luckily to no one.
I switch on all my defences, PDs, chaff, SLF bay, and put 4 pips to shields.
I have no weapons.
And I drop in.
An Asp is begging for assistance. It's under attack.
From 4 flippin' Deadly Sidewinders!
I'm carrying god knows how much exploration data, and a random survey thingie.
And the sidewinders want it. I launch my Expert level crew member, and try to keep out of range, with little success.
"attack!", I order my crew.
And she does the most pathetic attempt of shooting I've ever seen. Then gets destroyed.
"Well, I tried." , I thought, as I prepped for a casual low wake, leaving the poor Asp to its fate. Luckily they never breached my shields, despite being paper thin. Lol
I won't be dropping in to any more Distress calls until I get my battleconda.
Fly safe!
