Oolite Bulletins

Or get my Misjump Inducer OXP and activate it before the jump.
(It also works on NPC wormholes, not that it's a terribly nice thing to do to other traders...)

I once intentionally mis-jumped while being chased by multiple pirates. I got to watch from the safety of my cloaked cobra while three or four of them followed me straight into a pile of thargoids

Well you asked for it Diziet, now hopefully here comes the proof.

Thargoids on the horizon and closing in.



Dropping off a small present for the Bugs.



Enjoying the light show.

Just a wee bit of advice when dropping a 'gift' for the bugs. Remember to come to a complete stop before deployment as if you drop it while injecting it still has your injector speed! And your 'gift' gets returned to sender

If you're feeling like some stunt piloting, on the other hand, inject out into clear space, then activate your torus drive. Aim at the distant bugs, and drop the mine. Then hit the brakes and watch it fly off at high speed in front of you. Assuming you brake sharp enough, it'll be off your scanner by the time it explodes, so you need to time the launch carefully. But when it works, they won't know what hit them.

Yeah... if you're gonna use a WMD, do it from below the horizon!

Well thanks to my kamikaze efforts I've zapped enough bugs to be awarded the Bronze Medallion for defense of civilian lives and property. Long may the bug squishing continue.

Nicely done!
