Now I'm stuck as bounty hunter, allied with Federation friendly with some Empire minor factions and extremely penniless  Just fell in love with a Vulture and couldn't resist getting it... and of course I've spent all my money upgrading some minor bits... now I only have 44K credits left and not enough money to rebuy any of my ships... I guess I will retrieve my full upgraded Cobra to reach my full upgraded Viper to work towards the rebuy cost of the cobra... or I keep being stupid and stubborn and enjoy the vulture from the start... Considering the last time I've lost a ship was due to a friendly fire incident combined with another unfortunate scan while docking... I should be ok... right? Right??  lol Have you lost a ship due an enemy doing a kamikaze (suicide) run? I had about 67% hull and mostly full shielding while the enemy ship had about 15% hull and no shields when it steered straight into me, sadly my Cobra at the time just didn't survive hitting that Python, though I think it was destroyed as well. |

I had about 67% hull and mostly full shielding while the enemy ship had about 15% hull and no shields when it steered straight into me, sadly my Cobra at the time just didn't survive hitting that Python, though I think it was destroyed as well. Last time I lost a ship was flying the brand new Cobra... and can't remember what happened... People is reporting some weird stuff the other way around, shieldless cobras killing full shielded pythons and surviving while kamikazing But the last time I've panicked near dead and returned to the station with only 26% hull integrity was with my new Asp three days ago, got interdicted while fuel scooping by a Cobra... of course I failed to scape or submit the interdiction, dropped to near the damned star, heat damage, systems compromised, cargo hatch failure and my superconductors floating toward the sun, heat sink launched... hardpoints failure, 1 beam, 2 pulses, 2 multicanons... none operative.... continued to take damage, more from the sun than the cobra, I assumed the fking npcc was frying itself too. The damned FSD took forever to recharge, same the heat sink launcher, temperature in the red 160ยบ... desperately boosting away from the sun but completely trapped in its gravity well... finally the FSD recharged, J... weird notification I can't activate it because of hardpoints or landing gear deployed... what?? OKOK... do not panic! My canopy is cracked and can't see my hardpoints deployed, V... another heat sink fired... chaff again, U... no notification.... J... again, hardpoints/landing gear deployed! What?  ? Went to modules and switched off, all weapons... J... again, same notification! No hardpoints deployed, no power to weapons, my landing gear wasn't deployed...the damned Cobra depleted my shields (stock ones but got 3 A0 boosters)... 30% hull integrity or around, logging off was out of the question I wasn't going to survive another ten seconds... At that point while I frenetically keep pressing J occurred to me... the damned cargo hatch! Went to modules again and un-powered it... J... and five seconds later jumped out of the damned sun... returned to the previous station of my trade route with an incredible overdose of adrenaline and my new Asp losing pieces of scrap metal while entering the coriolis station! I normally disable the cargo hatch in any new ship I buy at the same time I configure the power priorities of all the modules, I won't forget to do it ever again! Soon more screenshots  |

 I remember the first time I discovered a system with a white star, it was truly superb to see in game. |
