Your favourite kill... ever?

[TheBored]

Might as well throw in mine.

There are a couple kills that stick out in my mind. The first one is quite unimpressive. I was in a SG, PK vs ACE. Aarm starts WTFing over a massive rush on our miners. ACE had been doing it all game, showing 10+ ints within a couple seconds of each other. The ints were going through one of our sectors, boosting after a miner in the adjacent sector. PK launches with a comparable force, boosting in the same direction as ACE. My squaddies engage most of the attackers, Paradigm and Fragtzack were far ahead though. I trusted the PK guys to take care of the rest. I boosted after Para & Frag. I fly through the aleph near top speed to find out that I caught up rather fast. There I am, matched speed with Frag as he attacks the miner. It was a perfect position... I'm going 200 mps - sideways - giving Frag every bullet I have. He dies quickly, Para comes next. He dances around the miner but I luck out again, hitting with pretty much every bullet. It was just two kills, neither of the targets were aiming at me. Going sideways at 200mps while trying to defend that miner was just amazing though, one of the moments when I realized that I truly love Allegiance

The second was in a SG against XT, one of our many Exp vs Exp battles. We knew HTTs were around, so I sat base camping. We get a warning, HTT right on top of one our stations. Kumquat got us completely by surprise, he was 1K out with several nans. The station was completely boned. Before I knew which angle he was coming in I turned 180 and ducked below the door, like I always do with IC bases. Of course he was coming from a high angle, the exact place that hurt me the most. I kick on the boosters and cut right past the green door, trying to get in his way. I didn't have enough time to look and see where he was... I could only wager a guess. I was aiming more or less straight up, hoping my timing was right. Boy was it. I hit him right on the belly at full speed. His HTT flies waaaay over the door and gets owned almost instantly by the swarm of defenders. It was one of the best HTT runs I've seen to date... and I managed to stop it somehow. I messaged Kummy after it happened... never got a response

QUOTE (_SRM_Nuke @ Jul 27 2009, 06:58 PM) And this was before I killed a miner 10 seconds after it launched from your garr for the first time. That was probably my favorite kill in the pk/sysx game. It just popped right out as Xeretov and I were on one of Spidey's "fighter sweeps." The paint wasn't even dry on the poor miner.

Fighter Sweep to his home everyone!
Two people go
Miner undocks
"New miner - red wing gold wing, shields are down follow me!"
Nvm Nuke killed the miner

[omegahero]

i am missing the fighter sweep manual. it was never sent through on the sysx training briefs!

QUOTE (CrazyFingers @ Jul 20 2009, 03:04 PM) ramming teammates through proxed and camped alephs is quite fun. eh?

I remember a long time ago defi rammed grav into a camped aleph and he got his panties all in a knot! TeeHee™

Yea she was jealous because I got more prox kills than her in one of those 2h stalemate games. So she decided to push my 40 something prox2 scout into an 8 HvyInts camp to get rid of her competitor.

I was so pissed but eventually got my revenge. After setting up on a lucrative aleph I waited for her to come and try it again watching on f3. Only this time I was strafing sidewards in the right moment and she ended up going full speed into the camp herself.

I think it was Grey Slayer camping our op with an IC hvy int and a 40+ KB.
I launched from our Garrison and then snuck around behind him. Opened up at about 100m right behind him.
Had him down by about 1/3rd before he reacted. He started shooting back and then realised he was going to lose. (Was down to half before he even started shooting back) So he ran for it. He did actually get away from me. But there was a powerup about 2k away, so I went and camped that. Meanwhile I saw Pook launch and head for the aleph.
When Grey showed up at the powerup I grabbed it before he could and engaged him again. He hightailed it for the aleph. I pm'd pook 'DROP!', Grey goes through the alpeh and I see 'Pook forced Grey Slayer to Eject' and then 'Pook killed Grey Slayer'
Grey Slayer then got on all chat abusing Pook for proxing the aleph and having an int chase him through it, I think he was pissed about losing his 40+ KB.

I was commanding a Rix vs (I think) GT game Exp vs Exp. I had gone for HTT, and it had worked quite well early in the game as we destroy all of their ops and they only manage to cap 1 of ours and this was a tight map so we only had access to their exp from one aleph. Their Exp was 3k from 1 of the two alephs to the sector and we hadn't expanded at all from the other side of the map so they knew we would keep coming from there. Cap attempt after attempt failed being so close as 50 m from the door being pissed off because it takes so long to move unrammable rix htts. I decide to just blow it up with 3 htts and it takes forever to setup the 3 (htt-1nan) teams and get the team to camp the aleph. When we finally do I decide to go right behind 1 of the HTTs to ram it (something I can get right in only 1 of every 4 rams).

I order our team ints in, they kill proxer (after 30 yells) and all 3 htts are in. The enemy starts blitzing for the HTTs going for rams cause they know we have it if they dont delay and I zero in on one guy going after my htt (Sycrus maybe)? I start boosting for my htt as if I'm the one about to hit it and at last sec I downthrust and up thrust to just miss it and the guy rams me. He is disoriented after the ram and I turn around and pop him. My htt is the only one that lives to cap the base (other 2 died).

This one happened a few days ago to me.

Joined a game of GT... I think it was Lingus comming. For some reason, I hop in an enh fig, choose a sector, and launch.

There's an op con there. I think a TP con was killed soon after my launch, but I started boosting like mad towards this op con - it was 2k, maybe 3k away. I'm in a perfect ramming position, so I take it, smack the con away from the rock (It looked, to me, as if it were about to plant) and proceeded to rape it. I think the shields were 2/3 or so of the way down when I smacked it, but it was awesome.

Of course, that was the only kill I got that game, but damn, it was awesome.

Why would Nuke chase a Rix Heavy Int with a basic GT Fig? I thought they taught basic survival skills at The Farm.

Last saturday I was in a game with Nuke commanding, Giga tac vs IC exp IIRC. We were getting hammered, so didnt really have sod all for tech yet.

I looked at the loadout and said "Util 1, cloak1 and hunter 1? Are we really suppposed to KILL miners with these?"

Nuke:"Yes, you are. Go find the other stuff."

So I fly into their exp sector and BOOM, there's a miner headed for their exp, pretty as pie. Now lets all recall that I totally SUCK at tac, K? out of everything I'm bad at, its the worst...

I realise it must be loaded, so instantly turn onto my only option, a straight in intercept at where it lines up. Of couse with only sig1 I get eye as soon as my missiles load;

Well damn if this miner doesnt eat 3 hunters before I drop cloak and fire my util 1's... and still no d in sight! The miner dies to what feels like an impossibly short burst of util 1 fire... no more than 15s max. Only now does D launch; a nan. I unload my missiles and recloak for a clean getaway, and then have hunter2 pop up like 15 degrees off my flight path.

Gods I wish I had a fraps of that; Like the one time I suckered Correct into my mines and podded him it will probobly never happen again.

In our OH game on sunday, Nuke was boosting through our garrison sector to get into the next sector where our miners were. I was in a scout heading to D them. Timed the prox drop, and got nuke at full boost on the garrison side of the aleph (while Nuke had no idea I was there).
