The Perils of Fast Ranking - Missile chased me for 80km!

I totally failed to notice that Morgan Depot had turned hostile to me. Naturally they refused docking and opened fire! I boosted away ASAP, but one HE Seeker Missile was on my tail. I stopped boosting and switched to external view to see what would happen. 80km later it caught up with me!

Dunno why I've finally become hostile, since I'm still officially friendly (doing the charity missions for the Nobles of HIP10716 keeps you friendly). It's bad timing, as this last handful of missions will get me to Duke, which is good enough for me, since there's no benefits to the higher ranks AFAIK. I'll try and grab some missions from the outpost station, since they are another faction.

TBH, I was really hoping for more of a bang when it caught up with you!

Normally, I just tune out the "Incoming Missle" warning, but one time was pleasantly surprised when my opponent shoved one in my face. My whole viewscreen lit up - was quite impressive.

Of course, it did squat... but I hear that may be changing soon.

Edit: after watching a second time, it would seem that your point defense took it out before it could impact. Wonder if it would have been bigger if it hit?

Yeah - I fitted point defense when I was doing the Cubeo Ranking, as you have to fight a Goliath there, and those things have an infinite amount of missiles as far as I can tell.

Still I was quite impressed that it doggedly followed me all that way.

The sound of Point Defence and the way it tried to shot down that missile, lol. Its so useless against spining missiles.
