Anyone else play witchhole roulette?

This is more dangerous (and more fun) at the beginning of your career. You simple follow a ship into it's witchjump and see where it takes you. Anarchies are fun in your new cobra. :D

My experience of that went something like this:
"Ohh! what's that blue thing? I've not seen one of those before.. I wonder if I can collect it?"
*WHOOSH*
"Holy s**t, what just happened? where the heck am I!?"
*check galaxy map*
"What the-!? a worm hole?"
*beep beep beep*
"Why are my shields...oh no!"
(no ECM, no witchspace injectors, standard peashooter)
I guess I could try and jump to a nearby- *BOOOM!!*
:shock:
wow... I'm not doing that again!

That was delightfully graphic.
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

Okay, we have talked about thread necromancy, but fixing two-and-a-half-year old typos is a little more silly than I expected. :wink:
