The few hours i get to jump into the verse are usually a quiet affair, i'm ROC mining my way up atm to buy a prospector. I jump in for an hour or two, mine then sell and leave.
But a few nights ago i had a random encounter that was the most fun i have had in the verse in a long time.
so if you have a spare 5 min....
I spawned in Grim Hex, hit F12 so i dont need to see people moaning about bugs. since the drug labs are now visible to see i had tried my hand drug smuggling on last login.
Only to find grim hex dont buy slam
....
So i summon my Mercury and head to Arcorp Mining 157 on yela, it was pitch dark. (my goto vehicle spawn location)
Head inside and get my ROC claim and expedited.....whos got 3 min to waste?
I jump in, drive to my mercury...jump out and open the ramp, jump back in....🥱...vehicle in ship spawn cant come quick enough.
I never mine close to locations as a rule, usually flying out quite far while dropping power low enough to be Stealth....however this time on my first scan over Arcorp Mining 157 i had found a small cluster of Hadanite, which was very unusual because id only been finding Dolovine lately. Id say i was roughly 1000m away from 157.
Out i go and start mining, 4 rocks down and 1 to go. The last one i overcooked and the Hadanite scatterd hundreds of meters. I methodically hoovered up the goods. Then it happened, my screen shook and flashed....like when you glitch through the floor so i jumped out and ran behind a large rock nearby thinking i had fallen victim to Alpha gameplay. I expected to see my ROC going underground like it was eaten by a Graboid. But no.
Overhead 3 Buckaneers circled me with Blinding lights and were bombarding my poor ROC with guns. Its surprisingly tough, it took a pounding before it popped.
In turn, all 3 ships turned their lights on me, but didnt shoot as i cowered behind the boulder. I hoped that they couldnt see me. I hit F12 and instantly notice they had been threatening me for quite a while but with my chat off i hadnt seen it.
[Enemy] "..scape_tel its 1000 auec and we let you go"
[Me] "1000? Thats cheap"
[Enemy] "transfer it to me"
I did consider it, 1000 was very reasonable for having to respawn.
[Me] Not as cheap as your sister was last night though.
I never do fps so i never buy alot of guns. I had 30 rounds in my handgun and some sort of automatic with a spare mag.
I unloaded on one of the ships for no real reason other than i was having fun.
The shots rained down on my boulder, i was getting hurt as my screen was going blurry and then they stopped. A loud bang shook my screen as i croutched around to look only to see a cutlass black had engaged them.
Im assuming they had red markers? Either way my shining knight was doing a sterling job. I did see him take one down in a blaze of light that illuminated the barren landscape.
I took my chance and sprinted for 157, i really wish i could have watched the battle taking place over my head in the dark skies.
Anyway a few explosions later and roughly 200m from 157 my body gets flung into the air and hit the ground hard.
I went into a sort of last stand animation with a handgun in one hand as i shiffled on my butt to find any sort of cover.....there was none. 2 remaining buckaneers closed in on me like before
[Enemy] you dead
[Me] Your Grammar is shit.
I fired off a few pointless rounds, like tom hanks to the tank at the end of saving private ryan.
I woke up in Grim Hex.
Honestly it was so much fun and it rekindled my love for Star Citizen for a while at least. Its made me consider my loadout alot more, and medipens which i never carried before.
I just wish i had recorded it!!!
