hahaha, ive had that
also when just using the Ions to fight enemies, suddenly the trading station turns red on me, im like, how did that happen?

So now you get to capture Orinocos, Bayamons and Mandalays, too. At least it gives you some transports for all those spaceflies you captured.

Looks like a good bit of profit to me

I wish. No flippin' chance mate. I played tag with them a while flying at 308 m/s and strafeing with ions to see if I can knock some guns out but I was getting hammered in the process (hull damaged already as you can see). Then the Split sector defence showed up and that was that. I wasnt about to mess about since I'd only just got Split docking rights.

That's what you get for using one of them wimpy lizards, err, iguanas. Never send a boy to do a man's job. Real men fly fighters with hemis. Minivans are for wimps. A Nova would've made short work of that crowd.

It happened to me in Rolk's Fate, more than once. Now I have three Boron M6 patrols that chase my freighters if they see them.

You know, attacking pirate bases are fun, I do it in my Osprey all the time............never any problems, except for the lone moron cop that tries to scan me while I am in my firefight, he usually gets his M5 destroyed quickly by my BPSG's

Something similar happened in my Nova, I was grabbing spaceflies in Boron space, plus any Pirates that drifted past, and this three-Hydra patrol came by and smashed an Orinoco I was just about to capture. Flew off. They repeated it three times. The last time I clipped one with my Ion. They attacked me. I toasted them all, but lost so much Boron rank I reloaded from a few mizuras and an Orinoco ago.

i know, its so easy, i do that in my KM3 (i love the look of the cockpit, and the weps are useful if you dont have a joystick).

You were lucky not to annoy the pirate base there! A bonus in my book! Ships to play kiss-catch with...
