I must be a little too new...

A home for tales of personal killcounts and engagements between vast armadas, as well as the odd recounting of that time you saw an alien capship taking out a mining base while trying to parallel park.

I must be a little too new...

Post by Mhiester »

Ok, so I got my ship, I am doing well, shipping food, porno and other such items to the mining station, and some rocks n' crap back to Sea World. Now of course along with this I took the occasional bounty on some pirate flying around in a brick of a ship, who ends up getting killed before I even get there (true story, on at the least 5 occasions), leaving me with 5 grand and no damage :mrgreen: . So along my career goes for a few hours, and after trying to undock from the mining station, I was shot (now do know I was INSIDE the freaking thing) and I check my target screen and what happened is this little white ship is flying at me, shooting me. I am completely undamaged (in a llama, a used one), so I take a shot, and he gets blown to hell quicker than I would have expected myself to in the middle of a cloud of enemy ships. I think "OK, I just saved the local mental asylum a couple grand", yet then I go back to Sea World, and after leaving I get attacked by another one of these guys. I am confused as to what freak with an ID-10-T problem would keep sending ships at me. Now this continues until I return from a battle, my ship covered in damage, and then one of these guys starts shooting me. I, not being able to stand up to him decide to run for it until I, by chance, hit the smallest ship out there, and get destroyed in the process :shock: . In death, I had one word to describe myself: flabbergasted (well, and extremely discombobulated). Now, I only learned one thing from that: Lose the llama as soon as possible, along with that magnetic armour...

Now, did I do something specifically wrong here? I mean, are pirates truly allied with little freaks who fly little white ships?

Little, white, near base... that sounds like Seaxbane, they're classified as Base Patrol and they react to hostile events against their base. If that's the case, you either fought too close to the base, hitting its shields with a few shots that missed your target, or you bumped into the base while trying to dock or undock. Nothing that a sweet talk spam of F1 friendly messages (to the ships AND, most important, to the base) won't cure :)

Much love shall be extended to this excellent game and it's amazing community.

There is no such thing as IRL, there is only AFK. In my case, year long AFKs.
