Default Re: Funny Starfury Moments

Three pirate cruisers are heading for me, but I've got a big TCN fleet behind me. A carrier (8 fighters), a battleship, and 3 destroyers & cruisers.
I stood back in an asteroid field to watch the initial exchange of fire which was most impressive. The carrier alone let loose a volley of 4 CSMs plus all its fighters pumping P&N meson bLasters into the enemy.
Quantum torpeodes flew from the Battlecruiser, and space was alive with purple APBs. In seconds the Pirates' shields were stripped on all facings, and they were taking serious armor hits.
I then headed into the melee in order to make sure the one Pirate I was hired to kill actually did die

I wheel and deal the damage for a minute before noticing a distinct lack of friendly fire.
While the Fighters were still swarming with me, all of the capital ships had killed one pirate and then decided to leave!
With the TCN fighters chewing the occasional CSM intended for me, and absorbing PD continuously, they began to thin out.

It was all I could do to retreat back to the asteroid belt before taking heavy internal damage and losing most of my armor.
Then they fined me for not finishing the Job
