Not even close to being the only one who messes up, in fact I think Loriath and his group do it on purpose. :D

Getting blown up sucks hard though. I wouldn't be opposed to winging up sometime to provide some extra pulse lasers if our schedules align. Right now I'm just working on fed rank and money, and blowing things up might help with the money.

On a related note, it's kind of my dream to get interdicted by an overzealous orca pilot and blow him up. I think it almost happened the other day, but it was one of those cases where they try get me at a station, and I was already really close to the outpost, so he ran away. I don't think orcas can dock at outposts, so he must have been after me. I was so disappointed. :-(

That would be cool to wing up. The friend that I usually wing up with is in the UK and I am in the US and we play in our own group. Hopefully he will join Mobius and we can play in the Mobius group together :)

About the only time you'll see me in open or solo is if I'm trying to refresh the jobs board. Mobius has the upside of open (seeing other players, or even forming a wing), without the troll pirates. So I recommend it. Bring your friend too, as it sounds like the galaxy owes you more vengeance than one or maybe even two ships can collect.

That is one seriously bad day!

1.04km from docking though? Or did you mean Mm or Ls?

Anyway, I know it's too late, but when I get interdicted, I submit and boost straight off to make range. Then I look at what my opponent is and decide whether to just FSD out or fight. If you don't think you can win the interdiction, that method saves a lot of damage.

Fly safe.

Unlucky, Cmdr Black Rose! But don't worry, everybody has bad days from time to time. And on the bright side, the lessons you learn on such days you never forget. Pretty sure these are mistakes you won't make again. So there's progress, here. Chin up, commander! :)

Judging by your post in the "What are you doing..." thread, I'll venture a guess that it's your usual buggy-flipping crew?

The "T" word is right up there with the "C" word and in some cases the "N" word.

My usual rules of thumb when I play an MMO style game are:

No PUGS ever...if I can't play with friends or my own guild/corp/wing then get over it and wait or skip it.

If someone is annoying, they either are just "that way" or they don't realize how much they annoy people. I avoid confrontations as much as possible and I just go away and leave them to themselves.

We all can't warm up to everyone and we all have little quirks that are funny and cute to us and hideously annoying to others sometimes lol

Just to make it clear to people.....

The "T" word is always used by me in this context......

n
a man who is a stupid incompetent fool
Synonyms: bozo, cuckoo, fathead, goof, goofball, goose, jackass, zany

Type of: fool, muggins, sap, saphead, tomfool
a person who lacks good judgment

And all of the above apply to the people I fly with....... :D

If I was implying female genitalia I would have no hesitation in using the "C" word or the many other various words that exist...

If people take it as that definition then I'm sorry....It is not meant to be taken that way.....
