Aargh! They got me!

Postby Jeffers2112 » Fri Jan 13, 2017 12:02 am

Scary moment today... in the middle of a jump, got the "unstable" warning then, bang, I'm out of hyperspace drifting in a disabled ship.
Then comes the alien with their weird scanner...
Remembered that I could grab some video and got this;-

Took me back to '84, although those encounters were rather more violent and often ended in death....
I'd been visiting alien ruins and crash sites, but I wasn't carrying any cargo at the time.
Exciting stuff, let's see what happens next.

Meh. I went to Palin's and back today in a 30LY cobra to upgrade the thrusters. No alien visit. *shrug*

I was jumping around the area of merope for the better part of two hours before i got mine.

And by area I mean 150 Ly.

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

I booked marked the first few reported locations then traveled toward them. I had a UA on board from the second crash site and got caught in Aries Dark Region JH-V c2-14 after 25-30 jumps. Two jumps later the cargo hatch corroded and the UA fell out

i found 3 UAs and a number of fragments at the wreck and left with those to head towards Maia. i was interdicted straight away

but when i only had 1 UA onboard, i flew around for ages with no bites
