Got accosted by two VHFs that weren't Corsairs in Gamma. I told 'em what to do with their demand and took off.

The chase started in Gamma and ended up in O-41, where I lost my CM dropper (but had a lot of b/b left) and decided after getting a few clicks' distance to drag them through the minefield, and then after that failed to finish them off, decided to make my final stand a couple k from the Neutron Star. Like I said, I had a lot of bots left.

After darting in and realizing the perils present in a cornered transport shooting in an environment designed to eat you alive, they called me a few nasty names and left me alone.

Was this a valid tactic or an abuse of the vast durability difference between transport and fighter?

Note: I would have paid ransom except for a few extremely important details (wrong kind of ship for pirating, wrong tags, etc) and poor roleplay on their part.


PS: We need more fun systems like that one. More black holes, more random deadly mines to drag enemies through, more incredibly dangerous and expensive-to-repair radiation damage.

That's a perfectly valid tactic. Using their ship's disadvantages against them. Nice use of the neutron star too! Kudos to you.

Perfectly valid. Things like that make life more interesting, yes?

It's clever and unscrupulous. Good tactics to use, no worries there. Keep it up.

I don't need to. After bathing in that much rads I've started replicating like an amoeba. Gimme a couple weeks, I'll have enough me's for a battleship crew. :crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy::crazy:


But I'm glad that while the tactic of discussion is a bit mean-spirited, that it's also valid.




(Now to have Navy/Police fighters chase me into La Grande Negra when I get caught in Texas...)
