Flying my Clipper fully loaded with gold after about 1 hour of trading and I decided to drop off at a local Anarchy point to spice life up a bit as usual.
Entering into the Nav Beacon, 4 pips to my 4 high class beams on my fully kitted out (minus hull) Clipper which is currently running at 2mil insurance and 2 mil in cargo.
Hey I have done this a few times, it is fun.
Well about 25min later and amassed about 300k in bounties, still have 4 cells left and a few nice Pythons in the bag and up pops an Elite Conda with a heafty 80k+ bounty on it.
Yeah baby, you are mine. Got behind it, it saw me and opened up. No problems, full blast of Weapon Bank on the Conda and it's shields are gone. He is turning hard and boosting, but I was with him, plenty of speed in the Clipper.
So WHY WHY WHY
Did I boost into his exhausts
Down to 10% hull and spinning all over the place.
Get out of dodge and quick, 4 mil is on the line..
Conda is now following me, chaff all over the place, voice attack doesn't understand my slightly drunk and urgent voice to put pips into the engines. I have the DK2 on and can't see the keyboard and all the while the laser blasts are all over me. My FSD is mass locked and I am going to die surely.
Eventually VA gets the message, give me engine pips, I am frantically hitting the boost button, 9, 8, 7 no that isn't the count down to FSD, that is my hull. Cmon POWER, POWER more POWER I am screaming like a frantic top gear presenter and the dog is whimpering in the corner wondering what all this noise is about when the wife isn't in the house.
Then it happens, that magic dose of blue fuzzyness that is forever loved and known as FSD and I am safe.
So the moral of the story is.
Load up with more gold, become a target and do it AGAIN
