Re: Funniest Moments in X3FL
Funny as in I laughed out loud while dying inside..
Got a station defense mission and at my combat rank M7 spawn regularly which is what I use to train my marines in fighting. Recently my first to-be-elites batch finished their college degrees and we're ready to rank up their fighting skills to 100 (so each of them was 50+/95+/95+/95+). So i load up my Carrack and order it to wait at the station with the mission while I finish other business. Carrack jumps in simultaneously with a Q and its escort. Luckily emergency jump kicks in and it gets out with barely a scratch @96% hull. So send for repair.. mission timed out so I went on with business..
.. 2 hours later (in sponge-bob-narrator voice) .. piloting the Carrack myself.. juicy astreus with shields down in crosshair.. hit turbobooster for a fly-by marine droppod launch.. shift+c, 5, .. can't board??????..
Turns out, that barely-scratched-encounter had destroyed the Cargobay life support (and only that).. with it my 20 best marines worth 40M in credits alone.. don't even mention the time investment..

Re: Funniest Moments in X3FL
Ouch! I feel for you. Something similar happened to me where I had just finished boarding an M7 from a 'defend station' mission. Apparently the sector defenders didn't get the bulletin on the change of ownership and attacked it: fried the life support and my marines.SurfingSpaceMonkey wrote: ↑Sat, 5.

Re: Funniest Moments in X3FL
In sector I build some mines. 2 Silicon Mines (around 100 yield each) apparently were too close together and started degrading in shields. I quickly rush to find a tractor beam and send my M6 there to pick one up and get it fast enough to the Mines. I jump into the M6 when it finally got here and lock on to one of the mines. I turn around to move it away and both mines started degrading in shields and hull but they blew up in mere seconds.

Re: Funniest Moments in X3FL
That's more sad than funny!
In AP it was the same way. Mines were so big that they sometimes touched another asteroid and took slow damage when you were in-system, but if they move at all... KABOOM!
Re: Funniest Moments in X3FL
You can use the Construction Service for those cases. Also maybe possible to build one, move it a bit away and then build the other (imho too cumbersome I would just use the Service).

Same Terracorp Pilot start, with my spacelab found in Empire's Ridge (quite safe) but HUB in between Senator's Badland and Wever's Tempest.Argent Valcendre wrote: ↑Thu, 3. Jun 21, 00:14With the lost Terracorp Pilot start, I expected somewhat to find the Spacelab in a Xenon core sector. After a long search I stumbled upon it in Nopileos‘ Memorial, a pirate sector. My reputation with the pirates was already at four red picks.
I couldn’t resist claiming the Spacelab with my unarmed Ocelot. At this point: no combat ship, no large transport ship and no credits. The adjacent Xenon Sector 101 is a hellhole, the same goes for Hatikva‘s faith.
By now, I‘m halfway through with earning the necessary credits for an Elephant transport and a quick escape route to safety. So far, no marauding Xenon or Pirate capital ships partying in the Nopileos‘ Memorial. Can Nopileos‘ Memorial last long enough as the only safe place in the middle of quite terrible sectors for me to save the Spacelab? I‘m gonna find out.
It turned out that Yaki is a super-advanced tech race, like Wakanda.
Now I am to be the villain to steal the entire HUB sector from them
Regards.

Re: Funniest Moments in X3FL
Just for the record: As there is no ship available at the Atreus shipyard for the stranded terracorp pilot in his spacesuit, I stole a M5 from a retrieve ship mission and used it to reach a boron shipyard across several hostile sectors. There I could buy my first legit octopus with the explorers guilds credits. This implies a lot of flying around in the spacesuit until such a mission even spawns.
Later, my low frequency locator revealed a #deca.fade in the Getsu Fune system. Things could have started so much easier...

Re: Funniest Moments in X3FL
Theres a boron shipyard in Oceans of Fantasy alpha though. I asked an unarmed recon ship to surrender and he dropped some credits, enough for an Octopus Vanguard... he must have really feared the power of my repair laserArgent Valcendre wrote: ↑Wed, 9.

That's because NMMC strip-mined the Earth till it was so thin you could fly through it, so they had to terraform the moon and move thereUnknownObject wrote: ↑Sat, 12. Jun 21, 22:00Piloting an overtuned Arrow.

Re: Funniest Moments in X3FL
A Strong Arms Weapon Dealer flew by in an M3 with his turret pelting my M6. Being annoyed, I shot him a few times and told him to surrender. He barely got out his reply "Split say never!" before his Asp escort flew in Plasma Burst Generators blazing and crispy-fried his boss. I shot the Asp a few times and he immediately bailed with "I bring shame on my family..." Worst escort ever!!
