Most of these in my post are failures of other people, or just bad luck. But don't worry, I know my screwups when I make them...
' Wrote:Seperate incident - Not too long ago, I had a very brave Lane Hacker pilot in a light fighter with no armor attempt to pirate me - and I'm in a Bretonian CTrans with 12 level 4 Transport turrets. His comment, "How about 2 million?" was immediately followed by his death message - followed by my, "How about no?"
On this note, a Junker attempted to rob ALS)Onyx, a Firefly once flown by a friend of mine, in a Barghest back in 4.84. "Can I persuade you to part with two million credits?" Not much later, my Border Worlds Transport ALS)Cerulean popped out of the lane.
ALS)Cerulean: Can I persuade your ship to explode?
The pirate left without any shots fired.

Indie Xeno Eagle swooped in and began firing at the Cerulean (as always, a BWTrans) without saying a word. Indie Xeno Eagle died by the guns of the Cerulean without saying a word.

My once-Hacker, Blackmoon (now Alicia.Nall), was flying a Stiletto around Liberty, causing minor irritation and not much else. I saw a Pirate Transport, Barghest, and two Lane Hacker Gunships planning on attacking Manhattan. Being relatively new at the time, I decided to join in.
There was one survivor, and she flew a Stiletto. An assortment of mercs, mostly flying bombers, took out everyone else, but they couldn't land enough hits on my agile-as-a-brick Stiletto. Trust me, it wasn't for lack of trying.

And now my moment of failure:
I was in the BPA, before they disarmed most of their officers. I saw a Corsair gunboat in Cambridge, and asked him to leave before it came to violence. He refused... and, well, I was new... I tried to force him out.
Alone.
In a Hussar.
To his credit, though, he didn't shoot until I started attacking him. If he's still here and remembers this incident with BPA)Blake.Sullivan, thanks for giving an idiot the chance to run.
