I'd finally tracked down the Constrictor after an hour or so of combing around the systems where people said they'd last seen it. I come out of witchspace and there he is, waiting for me. I line him up in my sights, fire off a couple dozen laser shots and he pulls away, firing up his afterburners. I hit max speed and follow, knowing there's not a chance in hell I'm gonna catch him.
22 km... 23 km... 24 km...
He's about as dead center in my scope as he's going to be so I fire off a couple shots before he disappears just to let him know who he's messing with. And the screen says "Target Lost".
No big deal, I'll cruise around and see if I can fi-- wait, why's it say "Bounty: 250"?

Smug at my prowess and disappointed at how anticlimactic it all was, I head over to where the constrictor used to be and pick up the scraps. No escape capsule - oh well. I turn around, get the planet in my sights and poise my finger over the hyperspeed button...
...and the game quits unexpectedly.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Anyone else got similar stories?
