We have a a general screenshot thread, why not a video one?
Starter for 10...
Loop the loop game of 'Chicken' with an Elite Anaconda, illustrating turning with FA on and off in the Cutter. Had to let him catch up first

That's quite the SRV tumble you took there!
Reminded me that I have one of those too actually - it's a short clip I uploaded when I was testing angles and so on for the SRV+cliff edge scene in Turjan's Travels episode 13 'Fast Food'. The SRV's shield remained inact like with your fall...but my integrity dropped to just 2%!
SRV shields are clearly running on a different system from ship shields : they're completely invisible to kinetic damage and only actually protect against gunfire. Weird.
https://youtu.be/tTkSLBAc098Part of this clip (the 'hull critical' bit) eventually found its way into my new opening title sequence, so it wasn't an entirely wasted experience

Shields in a buggy ONLY protect against weapons fire and not falling damage.
You might as well just turn them off unless going into combat.
Put the pips to engines and boost more.
And try to land on your wheels as squarely as possible.
For game reasons I guess it's actually better to boost away from the cliff and make one really hard landing at the bottom on the wheels than tumbling down the hills.

I really like Turjan's Travels.
I'm still looking for inspiration, have been wanting to do more than simple snipping of clips!

Wow... that was some 'nose to nose' action there, Darwin!

I liked towards the end where the giant scar on the nose of the other ship repaired itself.

It's like the huge boxy car in the film
Fletch Lives : "If you want to do something in this car, yous gots to think ahead..."
I'm also impressed you managed to find a CZ where every opponent wasn't using rail guns with perfect aim - that's usually the luck I get in those places
