Newcomer / Intro Situational Awareness

FinnegansWake · May 10, 2015

First off, to the guy in the sidewinder that strayed into my line of fire, sorry. I did not intentionally blow you all across Tiethay.

Second; If you're going to cut off a vulture,attacking an Anaconda, in a sidewinder, don't rage when you get blown to bits. (you probably shouldn't be attacking an Annie in a sidewinder, anyway)

Third: Attempting retaliation against the guy that *accidentally* killed you within the No Fire zone of a station isn't smart either.

In short, in warzones: Pay Attention! Other players are likely around, and I really don't like the fact that my first pvp kill was an accident.

That's hilarious! There's no way retaliating in a sidie against a Vulture is going to work out well.

The second time he got blown up, I never fired a shot. I was on approach to collect my combat bonds and he attacked me. The Station took care of it.

Sounds like them typical case of road-rage. Guy cuts you off then screams when you hit him even though you obviously didn't mean to. Attempts some revenge only to get rekt.

Lesson for all. Revenge is an expensive, mostly fruitless endeavor. Forget about it and move on.

It's pretty cheap in a Sidewinder!

Cheapest way to go! And, yes, it is a dish best served cold.

I have a feeling he was pretty new.

My thoughts exactly. I did feel bad about killing him, because is was not intentional. Until the landing pad strafing run.

Then I LOLed....that makes me a terrible human being, but I'm okay with this.

Yup, you probably should in a RES when others are attacking it and you know it's going to lose.

Pick your fights

And the pilot in the sidey was all about 'FINNEKAAAAAAAHHHHN'!!!

Edit:
Sorry, had to ^^

The sidey pilot was probably a complete newb and didn't know he shouldn't attack bigger combat fitted ships that didn't hit him intentionally; and that he shouldn't try to attempt to retaliate near a space station.
