blast! Quite literally

Post by kendrone »

What happens when you mix and inquisitive young jameson with a aid all in distress personality, this might be useful weapon collection, asteroid field with 12 ships and a cop and the failure to read the HUD?

The result is whence the young jameson - me - locks onto and fires a missile at the nearby fugitive, i instead drop a quirium cascade mine. The only reason i lived was because i realised no missle went forwards.

I do not think i have seen so many wormholes at once!


i think i killed the fugitive... and my record. :?

Are you sure you saw wormholes? The detonation time of a cascade mine is too short for anybody to hyper out. I guess what you saw was the mine detonation (also visual as a blue sphere, but much much bigger) and the subsequent detonations of the ships involved (the thing is called Quirium Cascade Mine for a reason). :wink:

Some may have been the cascade but i am SURE that at least one was a wormhole. Still, pretty stupid of me.
