Ive seen some large formations flying about but not sure ive seen that many at one time. That really would have suited my 'drop an energy bomb and scoop the cargo' tactic down to the ground :lol:

Spooky story. Must have been the Galcop Intelligence Bureau that suspected you of something. Smile

Im still quite new to this although I remember playing Elite on a BBC-B many years ago when I was still in single figures.

Im flying a fully kitted out Boa. 165T of cargo, 2 passenger births, 5 missile pylons and 8 energy units. I also picked up a militery shield enhancement off a Dredger too and im more than happy to go dogfighting with cobras, kraits and asps.

Oh yeah, im flying on the keyboard as well :shock:

Hello, my first post here and I only discovered oolite a few days ago. Anyway, I have been a little naughty with the credits so I own an almost fully equipped Boa now but got jumped by a pair of Thargoids earlier today. Id just completed a 6.8LY jump so had virtually no fuel left and I was under fir...
