ROCKS HAVE NO SOULS THEY AREN'T GOOD OR EVIL!!!!

[Doom101]

I was in an engagement with a small pirate attack force and i decided it would be a good idea to just use my flagship. ( a customized Medusa)
I was fighting a Venture class cruiser and some fighters came from behind me and overloaded my shields and the venture decided now would be a good time for his reaper torpedoes. i personally thought i was done for when this random asteroid flies in between us and takes one of the torpedo hits for me, the other missed me entirely. I named one of my ships after that asteroid. Anyone else have experiences with epic asteroids?

Haha that's pretty cool. I haven't had anything special experience with asteroids but I have used disabled ship hulls in the same way

yeah i do that too i just thought this was interesting because i was prepared to reload my save ( who likes to loose their flagship?) and random asteroid saved my bacon

i have a pretty cool experience with an asteroid

picture this. your in a non combat carrier condor class. your fighting a hammerhead you cant get away your shields are about to be over loaded.. if only you could finish off that hammerhead after all its flying on a thread of life.. you see an asteroid coming into view.. you make a small course correction and duck behind the asteroid (which was fairly large) the hammerhead only seeing red keeps the hammer down on his engines to catch up to you and rams into the asteroid blowing up..

[Doom101]

oh wow that's awesome arwan   i could completely see that in my head too

I was pursuing a fleeing ship with my Hammerhead once, shields down to maximize speed, and I didn't notice I was almost dead. I hit an asteroid and died.

i was flying backwards in my tempest and ran my engines right into one which almost brought me to a stop and disabled my engines leaving me helpless to the ship i was kiting around had to reload but it was a epic one.

heh the mortal enemy of fast ships, asteroids

[Hopelessnoob]

My tempest was killed by an asteroid, facing off against a large hegemony fleet, hit 2 or 3 pilums down to 4 hull points. running away from a dozen more missiles an asteroid that was smaller than a fighter I ran into it and kaboom.

[Doom101]

i stand by my statement that asteroids are the new enemy of all fast ships mainly because i just splattered my hyperion on one in the sinking the bis'mar mission.

I had two Auroras playing pin ball with an asteroid between them.

Needless to say, I was not pleased

If the character/officer system was implemented, I would have tossed those two out of the airlock.

this made me laugh a lot i would have loved to see this admittedly i'd do the same to those two captains in your position.

the most epic game of pong ever played, ever.

Qloos defeated an onslaught with nothing but a hyperion, 2 PD lasers, and asteroids. There's even a video of it somewhere.

With the tougher asteroids in .5a, they make for great cover for small ships, and a nuiscance for larger ships. That said, I've used dead onslaughts, ventures, and dominators as battering rams before (so that way I could hide behind the wreck and simply boost it along with my shields, and it would absorb all the hits and the collision damage for me, instead of doing the ramming myself)
