More like.."Si..si...22.50eu...vale en 30 minutos....bien." hang up the phone, reach for my smokes....
I look at the screen just in time to see the last red bar on my armor go poof.
The other guy that blew up had gone to the bathroom.
Base building, and needing three storks loads of Cryocubes to finally be able to build a cloak or something or other...and we were one system away from our destination....after the long and hard journey into Gallia and back to buy them. It was a total buzzkiller.
In the good times when the battleship missiles were useful I tended to sub-target the back end of one of my allies attacked capitalship and double missile him, the enemy snubs that attacked him died in the process.

i did something similar when i was part of Convoy, now BAF|MN)
i was escorting 3 shires in my gunboat and we were heading to planet pittsburgh
the shires were formed on me and i forgot somehow and i was cruising to the mooring point, and i quick docked at last second

we often flew up to 15 shires, in formation heading from planet Leeds, to Magellan then California then to new york and back
He was surprised that 36 guns of doom need a Gunboat escort.
