These make for EXCELLENT combat practice. The number of times my lasers overheat just as I am about to finally zap the mutha...

Once you can chase down and kill these little f***ers consistently, I think you should get a special medal!
Very funny, Scotty, now beam down my clothes...

Yet another olllld thread I am resurecting, sorry an' all but I am new...

Basically had one of these try it with me, said something about old timers and fired. So I chased it around blasting away, until it started burning and the pilot said something along the lines of "Hey, no need to get serious!". The next thing was it blew up on my next few shots. Suddenly I am fugitive and the cops are chasing me! Yet he started out red and attacking me...

This normal, I miss something?
The act of talking b*ll*cks whilst waving one's arms about wildly is referred to as testiculation.

it could be normal.
BoyRacers are not necessarily criminal on record, although their behaviour is guaranteed cheeky. if a cop arrives late to interpret that you are in fact the aggressor scum, you would become the target.

Not remembering all that well I think there were 4 different skins and maybe tiny performance differences.

For this ironass reboot I'm thinking there are just 2 versions, the regular unarmed model and a "packed edition" (above). It won't make Vol 2 though as it shouldn't be lumped in with the Elite-A ships. And I need to up my AI game. More obnoxious than ever.

:wink: I think it was a server we could use for sharing before CapnHack offered up Oosat.
