Stories of Landmark Scores...

Post by Smivs »

Hi all,
I've just become Deadly :lol: in a quite amusing way.
I knew I was on 2559 kills and was hoping for something a bit classy to come along next. I then met a Fer de Lance escorted by a Mk 1 Cobra, both offenders. The Ferdy was a worthy victim so I opened fire. He hit the injectors so I did the same and set off in hot persuit. Imagine my suprise , then, when the Cobra suddenly appeared right in front of me. I mean RIGHT in front. I just went straight through him! "S**t" I thought, "Press Space Commander". But instead I got a "Right On, Commander". I'd survived, somehow, and was regenerated into a new Deadly form :evil:

I'm sure lots of you must have tales to tell of how you achieved Landmark scores. Pray tell...

8) Clearly, those Boa II Clippers are tough ships! Did you have much/any forward shield left?
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Yes, they were at full strength, luckily. I also have Military Shield boosters fitted. It is certainly a pretty tough ship. It's also survived two simultaneous missile hits in the past. And with all that I still manage to die frequently! :roll:
