After flying a big cargo ship, making money for a while, I go make a new char to get a new ship and thought "wow, this ship feels so fast now" so I went and started to zoom around a base....and turned so fast I hit the base and being a starflea....blew up
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I SAID, IT MATTERS WHAT I MEANT!!!!
Dunno. All I know is that it can be very annoying. 2 days ago, I was flying a transport with a full load of ore to finally make some money. Then, I entered a random lane, and just as I accelerate, my ship suddenly blows up, and the bluemsg said I had been killed by a NPC. So now NPCs TLkill you too.
Just the other week, on one trip after explaining in detail to my escort and laughing over past instances when I wasn't paying attention and accidentally flew a transport full of ore into planets near the buy point...I managed to crash my Kujira loaded with Cobalt Ore into Denver while fetching a beer.
Oh and just last night we had a PTrain full of slaves planet dive Malta due to lag (not me this time thankfully).
I was doing a trade run with my Shire from New Berlin up to Colorado, with a side trip over to Detroit. I managed to wipe out three Starfleas during that one run just from squishing them.
We had a big BHG fleet (Mako, Battlecruiser, 2 x Thresher, 2 x Orca, 4 fighter / bombers) that was going from one side of Sirius to the other, so we could talk to Gallia and we cut through Outcast territory to do so. We'd made it past them, no problems, and were discussing what we needed to do next near a jump hole. The NPC's at the jump hole were becoming a pest - there were something like 10 of them - so we went into a killing frenzy on them, just targeting everything near the jump hole.
Some poor Outcast player in a fighter jumped into the middle of that frenzy. I think he lived almost one second - and no, there was no RP before engagement. We apologized for vaporizing him in PM's afterward, but our chat was sort of funny. It was - wait, was that an NPC? Oh, crap, I think that was a player. Oops!

Lol I've done that.
I was in my OC Dread sitting by a lane blowing up every NPC I saw....and a little LNS ship comes up and gets popped. When I saw the "LNS-(name) was killed by (me) (gun)" when I killed the last "NPC" I freaked xD
I of course did say sorry, and he said it was funny

On my first day on the server, I was flying around in a Starflea in Penn, I told a trader to "Halt" in system, he said "Halting".
I demanded 100 million from him, he just says "cya later mate", I say "HAHAHA! I don't think so! UNCLOAK GUYS!"
He flew off.
About 2 minutes later someone sent me 10 million anonymously, I can only assume it was the trader I tried to pirate. I guess he found me amusing.
EDIT: Someone tell the story of when there was a massive group battle somewhere, that literally just stopped because someone was accused of bumping ships, then a huge discussion ensued, after which, the battle continued (it used to be against the rules to bump into another players ship).
Like it was a football match and someone made a foul or something hahaha, that was hilarious.
I was once in a convoy of 3 Storks, we were all linked in formation, we had 90k to the jump hole and had to cut around the sun in that system to get to that Hole. I order a pizza, turn back around and two of the three of us are burning in the sun. The lead ship cut it to close to the Suns Corona and fried us.
