Well, survived my first encounter....narrowly
Went out in my Cobra, currently in one if the populated systems near Maia and saw a distress signal, decided to investigate. Drop in and see a decimated Imperial fleet...now on the one hand, as an Imperial citizen and Baron this is somewhat concerning...as a fan of the game...this looks awesome! And eerie! And then I saw it and heard it for the first time (never seen one in person before), I tense up a bit and drift forward cautiously, putting full power to my shields. It mills about and examines it's handiwork with seeming nonchalance, making it even more eerie. The noises it makes are fantastically ominous. I drift even closer and see an escape pods as a pass a lifeless Cutter. "They must be saved!" So, I speed up, drop my cargo hatch and promptly realize that I currently have no cargo space....*sigh*
I come back around to take another look at it and come to the conclusion that it's picking off survivors. "They must be avenged!" I quickly realize that I have no weapons on this ship.....*sigh*
It turns and notices me, the noises change and suddenly things appear scrambled, I panic. "Hell with this, for the Empire!" Full pips to engines and I boost straight into it, connection right towards it's center. I doubt it did anything and I'll never know because as soon as I realized that I was still alive and spinning slowly away I boosted away. My shields were down and it followed, bringing me down to about 45% hull. I put full pips to systems, kept boostng and hoped bi-weave would come through as I waited for my chance at escape, finally my FSD carried me off.
Next time Thargoid....Next time....
(Or not, we'll see lol)
PS loving this so far o7
That Thargoid is now laughing his "you know what" off in a bar telling this story to his mates... im sure of it..
