Getting a few credits for killing off wanted baddies.
Went back to a Viper to try my hand at it . I usually have cannons equipt, but, recently Ive not been doing to well with them.
So... with the recommendation from a few chaps on TS ... I opted for 4 x Gimballed, overcharged Multi cannons .
Nice weapon of choice . Now .. Ive done well wreaking havoc with them through the various conflict zones, and managed to get a few bulletin board missions also to reap the rewards of killing in the war zones, as well as the basic 350 bounty per ship.
Occasionally , you do have to go to a station to re fill on ammo. I was averaging around 6 kills per refill.
On the way back ... I stopped at a USS ... just out of interest.
Came across an Eagle ... low and Behold, its a name I recognise off the bulletin boards.
Mistral. He deploys weapons and decides to have a go.
So ... we danced for a while ...
He was a bit shifty, and fast on his feet, plus he knew a few moves, .. I'll give him that .
After a few passes, Id managed to take out his shields, so he decides to try do a runner.
He boosts off, but I manage to catch up... a few more nimble turns, and he's doomed.
Its a shame I didnt manage to get a bit closer at the last shot, so I could see the look of disbelief in his eyes ...
I got approx 2.5k bounty for killing him. Not much. But, If id have accepted the contract mission on him, it would have been 10 times as much.
Back at Azeban city ... checking out the boards. Wanted ... Glory Charger ... 174k reward. Im having that, I tell myself.
What could possibly go wrong ? ?
Fully restocked on ammo, I head off. Get to the system he's supposed to be in.
Flying around ... kept checking contacts for the ships in the area, and briefly scanned them to see who they are . Im not using a FSD wake scanner, or Kill warrant scanner. Just the basic - point in there general direction.
Once again ... came across a USS .
Targeted the ship ... spun around to try get a look ...
There he is ... Glory Charger !!
In his 'Conda . Shouldnt be a problem once you get behind them, they're not so nimble ! ... Oh, and he's Elite.
He fires off these lovely little blue balls of slow moving light ... Hahaha ... Plasma Accelerator. Id remembered trying these out in B1 ... overrated, slow ... and all in all, a bit disappointing for the 800k they cost.
First pass ... I let go with a continous 4 second rip-roaring-blast from my 4x multicannons . Took down his first bar on his shields . He, on the other hand likes to go for the old ramming technique .
Heads straight for you ... doesnt deviate.
I turn around for the second pass ... only 2 more like the last and his shields will be gone ...
Im loving it ...
So ... of we go again ...
The next thing ... he hits me ... with what I can only describe, felt like being hit by the side of a planet, travelling at maximum velocity, combined with an electo magnetic pulse of gargantuan proportions ! ! !
Im spinning about ...shields gone ... hull down to 30% ... bloody dashboard is sparking like its about to burst into flames ... and alarm bells blaring out. WARNING ...WARNING.
Trying to get my bearings ...So I hit boost to get outta there ...
Im now sea sick from the constant spinning ... The only saving grace, is that I dont have an Occulus Rift ... cos If I did ... I would be cleaning up Vomit from all over right now ! ! !
The icing on the cake, was the heat seeking missile he launched ,( and believe me - I was giving off serious heat !) which swiftly put me out of my misery 3 seconds later.
Jolly good laugh though, I'll tell ya ! !
Time for a beer after that !!
Cheers
