Vandals!

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

So, heading back from Sothis in my Python with a cargo hold chocked fully of goodies for missions.
I expected the odd interdiction, here and there.
And alas! About half way back, an Elite Python pirate decides to take a potshot at me.
So, I gleefully submit, and prepare him for his imminent death.
First move, he rams me.
Nice. Not gonna play fair? Neither am I!
4 pips to shields, prepare for ramming speed!
*Whack*
We both lose shields!
I quickly flick my shield boosters off to get them back online ASAP.
In the mean time, he's done a 180 and is railguning my hull, annoyingly.
I flip 180 to face him, and return the favour.
And...
Railguns in the cockpit, single shot, broken canopy!
...
...
Then he jumps out.

So he didn't want my cargo after all, but instead just wanted to vandalise my ship!

I was still 13 jumps from my destination, but luckily I pack A Class life support, so just continued as normal.
No more interdictions the entire way home.

ED is so much fun!



Sly safe all.

And don't park your ship out of sight, some loser NPC might key it.

OHHHH, the cheeky dirtbag, he dared!

I like your writing style, repped

Why isn't ramming "fair"?

 

[crushdepth]

"Vandals" is what I thought when I discovered that Mars had been terraformed.

Why isn't ramming "fair"?

Chill. He's adding the commentary for effect. Fighting dirty etc., clearly didn't mind from the retaliation by ramming back.

On that note +1 for a good read and excellent outlook on the game.

This reminds me of The Martian Chronicles, by Bradbury

Sounds like you took a hyper velocity rail to the face and he ran away when he realised he had interdicted the terminator
Cool story, still cant give you rep so have a thumbs up and a happy face. [up]

 

[Leo Sagan]

He was bewildered by your awesomeness and decided to flee instead of making you angry , GG CMDR

 

[The Replicated Man]

++++REP for You sir! Love the humor

 

[Judz]

Similar to an interdiction I had the other day, same ship, same rank. I shot him down to 1 ring and he said "well that didn't work, time for plan b". And consequently did 1. I was just relieved that I didn't start hearing a tedious song by him.

Rail gun to the canopy?... Is that ED's version of a "happy-slap"?

When we get space legs are we gonna be able to break into other people's ships and nick the stereo?

 

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Heh, glad you enjoyed it guys!
Thanks for the rep

Why isn't ramming "fair"?

It clearly wasn't fair, as I like to do the ramming here.
Damn NPCs stealing my moves!

I got my own back later on.

I was in a CZ with a friendly capital ship, poking away at stuff, when i got jumped by a couple of wise guy Vultures.
I killed one, no problem.
But the other woukd just not sit still!
In the end, I targetted his engines, and let rip with a handful of guided missiles.
In an odd twist of fate, just before he had thruster failure, he boosted.

Towards the capital ship.

I then just watched him tumble, uncontrollably.

Then *splat*, he bounced off the Farragut and exploded.

Hilarious!


Except I didn't get the kill.

Lol

From now on, I'm going to try and make all my enemies die in such a manner.
