Sometimes you're the wolf, sometimes you're the wabbit.
On a trek to catalog and photograph some freighters and capital ships for Callsign J-KR (which nobody seems to be reading) and while taking some snaps of a Samson class hauler, a Sagan class ship fell under attack nearby. Feeling benevolent, and in a Cobra that, for a change, was not equipped with AX weapons and instead had engineered beams and MCs I decided to lend a hand.
Stripped the shields from a Deadly NPC in a Python and was giving chase to finish it off with MCs when a couple of rounds pinged off the Sagan. Instant bounty. (it may have been more than a couple of rounds, and perhaps made the skipper spill his tea). The Python disintegrated, giving a nice bonus that would just about cover the ammo, then I find myself the target of God only knows how many other ships. There were so many beams playing around the Cobra it felt like I was stuck in a disco from the 1990s.
By the time I'd picked a star to high wake to I was revisiting ye olde familiar rebuy screen.
Grrrrr. Taking all these pics is costing me an arm and a leg.
