Hey pal*! I wish to express my gratitude, as thanks to you last night I had quite a thrill.
Last night, at the distress signal location, you decided to go alone VS many players in your Eagle. Not only I admired your courage/madness, but I decided, after a scan of your equipment, that I would remain at a respectful distance. I had nothing to even remotly threaten you seriously, and I was willing to survive as I was saving for a Cobra. You decided I was as good a target as any other, and shoved a good deal of laser shots into my poor Sidey. As I helplessly watched my hull integrity drop below a two digits number, I thought I was done for and good to spend even more bucks into insurances.
Half-blinded by the light bursts, I saw the cockpit glass cracking, and finally exploding. It was the very first time I experienced that. The sounds almost muted, Betty warning voice became an underwater whisper. The effect was so nicely done that I thought I suffocated a bit in front of my screen.You didn't have time to finish the job, as another Cmdr's Anaconda decided to pulverize your ride for the tenth time or so. And there I was, floating in the void, my cockpit cracked open. Still not dead, to my surprise. Then, I noticed the helmet visor occupying my filed of view, and the remaining oxygen level countdown (9 minutes). Still confused, I escaped the fray and engaged supercruise to Azeban city.
To make it short, I barely made it to the station. I even got an interdiction during the travel. When I finally had the «*atmosphere restored*» message, I had a little more than one minute left.
Kuddos to the devs and designers for such a conception, that was quite a thrill. That game is gonna be brillant. And thanks again for the trip, Stranger
