Maybe it was a little pretentious ...

Postby Difkod » Wed Sep 02, 2015 12:27 pm

Yesterday i've bought a vulture, I really really really love it ! i made some bounty hunt in a high intensity res but i must admit it was really quiet. That's why i was impatient to try it in a real battle field ! I lead my way to LTT 5673 in order to find conflict zone. It was my first time in conflict zone so i decided to take a low intensity one for try. I exit supercrous and ... omg pew pew pew everywhere ! i choose a faction (both was independant so i take the first one) and i go into the battle storm ! i first targeted a python, i shut it down with the help of a bot, then i focus a federal dropship, i easily succeed to down his power plant. Cheer by my first two win i decided to try bigger target ! i saw an anaconda remote from the battle and say in my head : "this one is for me" ! I aimed his power plant, engage it, dodge it, return on me and ... see 2 others anaconda about to shoot me down !! I've just seen light, fire, explosion and a cherfull menu which was asking 528 000 cr for a new ship.

Morality: when a conda looking at you ... run :D

:) Never take a Conda on from anywhere else rather than its butt. Cling to its butt and use thrusters to stay there and keep firing. Use chaff aplenty and stick to that rear end. If you do this often you will get good at it and then condas or pythons become easy meat. :) Good luck and happy hunting.

I have had that same pretension before..... And suffered the same fate. I've actually gotten one under 10% hull, but he got me under 0%.

Only deadly and elite conda's gives you issue in a vulture.

And in conflict zones is pretty much the only place to find them. So that could probably be it.
Cheers for the baptism of your first vulture.
You are not flying it right if you dock it with both engines intact :)

Hello,

Took my vulture for a one on one with a conda once. Managed to get his powerplant down to 20% health, hull to 30%. I was at 70% with shields recharging. Then he managed to crack my canopy. Retracted guns, boosted out and jumped to nearest station. Had a minute left when I entered dock.

Have fun. Fly safe. :)

Regards.
