That time another Cmdr caught you doing something stupid

[DragonIV]

Last week, during the trade CG, I was exiting the delivery station in my shieldless Cutter when another cmdr in an Annie swooped down to zip into the mailslot that I was approaching. Ok, no big deal, I'll just sliiiide over to the right and give them plenty of room.

Next thing I know, I get spun around, effectively blocking the mail slot and getting wedged in place. Seems I went over a bit too far and clipped a wing on the side of the mailslot at 100m/s. Somehow, I didn't hit the Annie, and also didn't bite the dust, but did get a nice round of applause from the 5-7 commanders present in Mobius for my spin-o-rama / spreadeagle maneuver.

We my worst landing in ages was viewed by an assortment of Cmdr's at Hutton Orbital during the Hutton truckers event a while back. It took me ages and oust have bumped into every tower lamp and bulkhead on the station.

I think a rich vein of docking bloopers is going to be available once 2.3 releases. You might have your crew mates backseat driving. And passing comments. To add to your embarrassing moment there are to be host of camera viewpoints to be posted to social media outlet of your choice.

The First Time i bought my Cobra MK III. I saved up enough Credits to equip it properly, since i did not want to loose it right away and my Sidey already was pretty good fitted out.

As used to the Sideys Speed and Maneuverability i started gently from the Pad just to Approach the Mailslot with a Roaring Boost, while trying to balance the Station's Rotation out ( i didn't know about rotational correction back then lol ).
Needless to say, surprised by the Speed of the Cobra i totally nailed the Ship vertically into the Mailslot, dumping my Shields and most of my Hull to near nothingness.

I managed to get out and started to limp blushing back in to get repairs done, i get a Message from another Commander who was in Front of the Station slowly drifting towards the Mailslot. : "Smooth ^^"
With a laugh i was like, well i just bought this Ship freshly. Since he was flying an ASPiring Explorer i started talking with him about the ASP and how it could be an Upgrade for the Cobra later.
I asked him to test some Weapon Loadouts with him, so we flew away from the Station and got the Weapons ready.... Soon after deployment my Lifesupport went out and i started to drift slightly uncontrolled towards him and hit his Cokpit ... i had no Idea what stealthy technology he used on me in that Moment *.*

Power Distribution Lesson learned ^^

Cheers!

With a fully loaded Type-9, and a pirate on my tail, I was approaching the station at full throttle+boost.

As a warning, I sent out a broadcast on the local band:

"Past the toast rack, through the slot, look out station, I'm coming in hot."

It did have the intended effect of warning those in the station and there were no collisions, but I did receive at least one reply:

"Please don't EVER say that again."

Sounds like someone was just being a kill joy to me.
