the cure against spaceflies 8)

Post by Mudkest » Wed, 1. Dec 04, 23:43

those pesky insects keep going kamikaze on my ships shields, not much of a problem there, but when shields are down cause I am retrieving a navsat or something it gets rather annoying. Specialy when theye target your ships systems(navigation command software, boost extension, jumpdrive ..) it gets rather annoying.

But tonight, vengeance! when I was shooting at an asteroid with my drilling system I noticed a spacefly trying to sneak up on me ..
Imagine his surprise when he flew into a burst of my drilling system 8)

Judging from the mess that left(hmmm, spacefly soup on the rocks :D), I'd say he didnt see that one coming :lol:

Yeah, those little pests seem attracted to weapons fire, especially Ion Disruptors! I just hate it when I'm busy trying to cap some ship and a horde of those flying annoyances come along and divert my lightning bolts! Well, I found a way to quickly put a stop to that. I switch to PSG's and, Voila!, space popcorn! :fg:
Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

Bah, i just spray my ships with loads off dead boron guts, that scares 'em away :lol: .

But for real though, i remeber when i was in a m2 of mine and when those flies gut behind it, i hit the boost. Nothing like fried spaceflies to wake you up in the morning :D

Those spaceflies might be big, but have you ever tried to clean one?

New invasion missions - attack of the spaceflies - a massive swarm lead by a huge cap ship gobbling queen, watch out Mr Split nutball in Flashmurder - they are coming for you.

even if it is 100% pure beef at the mac(wich I really doubt), that doesnt mean it's 1 cow, that is, the meat of 1 cow ..
