Game was IC vs belts.
I'm afraid I don't remember the name of the pilot I killed.

Belt scout enters our home sector, I grab an IC normal int and start boosting on an intercept course (ie in front of him). As I tried to precede him, I didn't actually have him on screen. Well at one moment the screen shakes, I lose half of my hull and get the You have caused so-and-so to eject message.
Rammed the poor soul making 300 mps.. on accident.

ABing whorez while my gunners killed xPhoenix with no nans dreg v IC. it destroyed enemy morale to have the best pilots fall in quick succession! (it also made me laugh quite hard during a time when i should really have been studying for an exam rather than alleging)

Yesterday, bricks vs. IC


we were figbombing the enemy adv exp, the base needed 1 more missile to pop. I launched it and like 1 second before impact an enemy int flies into it and dies. Base survived :)

(not my kill, but awesome none the less)

A few weeks back. We were Dis2ing a giga Op. We got the base down to 0.01% hull before we all died. 'Drat', we thought. Try again. Then, as if by magic, a (0) comes boosting in from nowhere, rams the base and kills it.

Going through an Aleph with an attack carrier.

Unsuspecting Serb on the other side.

Very podded Serb.

Some time ago when I was trying to solo a miner with an interceptor, miner starts heading to base and I see a nan flying towards it so I try the technique I learned from champy of ramming the miner past the nan, however this nan was having none of that and ordered the miner to him so there he is heading towards the miner, there I am ramming miner towards him, just as he reaches the miner the miner strafes to the side and me and the nan collide at something stupid like me going 270mps and him going 100mps, he explodes and I live to kill the miner :D

I think that was D3D but one of my favourite kills ever.

RT vs XT. We have XT down to their Phoenix SY, I boost through the aleph in my fig and Wee'ds there in a freighter trying to get in to block the aleph. Galv and dis start flying until I realise that I've misjudged it and I'll hit the freighter before it dies. I try to slow down but still hit the freighter, which instead of podding me kills the freighter and after the surprise that I'm not in a pod is pure awesome.

Not a kill but it's always a good time to get apochboi down to 5% hull and have him quit the current game then rejoin it.

*Ahem*
This turned into 5 kills.

First:
A 5k eyed run base kill on an IC exp with NO D! Maybe 1 or 2 ints but the rest were trying to kill a miner and didnt d!
(A team of about 15)


Then: Turrets kill 2 miners, one docking, one comes out when base pops.

Then: I kill tele, no big deal....

THEN: Our ONLY nan turns around and eyed a miner mining, turrets kill that one too.

So I get one techbase kill, turrets get 3 miner kills, and they obviously resign right after. :iluv:


That was my most absurd bomb run i've ever done.
