Those moments you wish you recorded...

...well, if I could record, i would have.
Unfortunately my ancient PC is barely holding it together, so i best not stress it out more.

Anyhoo, today's hilarious misadventure was when i was doing some kill sentry missions in my newly modded iEagle.
All was going well, i had 2 left to kill, and was scouting for some POIs on the dark side of the moon i was on.
After finding one, near a crater, I dipped down to scour the surface for a sign where to land.
Belting along at 500ms is fun.
I approach a ridge, skimming the surface for fun, and see something as I come over the crest, looks like cargo contains coming up fast.
Unfortunately, being dark, I didn't realise how close I actually was.

500m/s i flew over the cargo containers and bam!
2 sentry's spawned right in front of me, no time to react!
Ram then both over, lost shields, lost thrusters, and cartwheeled my shiny new iEagle right in to a crater wall.

Mission Objected Completed!

Best.
Finish.
Ever.

I somehow survived with 13% hull. Lol
Don't ask how.

Nice work Commander!

As long as there's atmosphere in the cabin you can light that victory cigar!

 

[Shockbot]

Well done CMDR well done

 

[FrogsFriend]

Nice one. There's really no point unless you can do it with flair

Clipping the mailslot at 500m/s and cartwheeling out of control into the station before coming to rest aligned about 40m above the assigned landing pad...

Stood up with the classic "Did anyone see that?!" line.

I felt bad about this poor NPC chap who somehow jammed himself between the upright in the station.

I flew out as slowly as possible I could almost see the look of fear as he tried to unjam himself, wish I videod how he ened up in that position, something bigger came in the mailshot and spun him out he landed there.

Good way to break in the iEagle mission complete!

Before the speed limit in near stations i catch eagle with landing gear on my Anaconda. I was leaving station and poor dude crashed into me in mail slot and i dragged him couple km with me because he was stuck in my landing gear.
