Eagle wipeouts and stuck cobras

Postby Silverwolf » Mon Sep 29, 2014 10:22 am

Two interesting things were happening when i was trading a lot yesterday.

1) A lot of eagles entering stations were getting blown up by the station.
I saw more than 10 of this.
2) A high proportion of times there was a cobra stuck in the station entrance or nearby.

Was quite funny seeing these.

Did that Cobra have a wireframe paint job? Because that might have been me with my faulty docking computer :P

I have seen no wireframe cobras yet, except my own when outfitting.

Can't wait for some kind of 3rd person camera view or something. Moving to outside view, and watching as the sun and shadows flow down the hull of my Asp, as I boost away from a starport. Nice. :)

I wish I could have found the screen shot button faster yesterday when there were three Cobras and a sidey rattling around in the slot. I was too busy trying to squeeze through. :)

I prepared my self tonite by selling of my lakon 9 to an lakon 6.
Took a last trip in the space cow and was about to leave the station but it was heavy traffic coming in.

I waited and waited,,, and had just 1 minute left to leave the station so I throttled up and smashed 4 (NPC)ships to oblivion :D

Reason I changed ship is because I wanted the jumprange with the lakon 6 so I could quickly get my Asp tomorrow when servers will be back online. Still don't know what stations that would sell it. :)

Wish I'd thought of that before downsizing to a Cobra from a Type 6. :(

Still, I think I'm in Eranin so I'm close to the centre of things.

It could be so the asp is sold on those stations that just sell anacondas, and its just a few of them atm ingame.
Some of those stations can you only reach with a ship that have good jumprange :)

I've got my fingers crossed for Aulin selling it. :)

Of course, this could be academic if it costs 4m credits! :D

I doubt it cost that much. A lakon 9 cost a bit over 3 mill.

Il guess an asp will cost between 300- 600k.
if you compare other ship prices,
