So today I chatted again with the Anaconda guy I met yesterday, whose name is Kaellito. I was saying about how I was wary of trying combt for the first time and he offered to accompany me. So he invited me to his wing (which contained another guy but he was off doing stuff elsewhere so didn't join us directly but had a good chat with him too

), my first ever wing invite as well so I was a bit freaked out when I suddenly started hearing voices - my own game seemed to be bugged or something as neither of them could hear me even though my mic is plugged in and everything. So I suggested we go to Akandi, where I'd seen a couple of RESs in the navigation panel while trading the previous day, and off we went (after I actually bought some guns and stuff).
And it was fun, fighting bad guys, though at one point I suddenly saw the following ship and got very confused...

I thought "Wait, am I targeted on myself? No, I can't be, it says Wanted...but...wtf...it's an NPC with my name", and started firing (she was even in a Cobra, like me). A few moments later...

Boom. So that was weird

.
Anyway, we carried on fighting stuff, making one trip over to the outpost, Agnesi Colony, to refuel and cash up before heading back to the RES again. But then Kaellito called out a Viper that was nearby as Wanted, so I targeted it but my ship hadn't finished scanning it before I opened fire and I found myself with a bounty and had to run away really fast. Fortunately it turns out that landing at an outpost is okay if you're Wanted as they don't have security defence system thingys, so I was able to land easily and pay it off (all 150cr of it :O). All in all, it was pretty fun even if I did mess up my flawless, crime-free record completely by mistake
