My favorite encounter with a new player by far has to be one player who followed all the instructions he was given and was quite eager to learn as much as possible.

After about 2 hours of playing where every few minutes he'd type "Ack. Hello?" intermittently over chat while flying he finally flew into a text-rage asking why the "$#@!ing game" kept giving him @#(!ty "Link disengaged" messages every few minutes even though he was still connected.

I spent about 5 minutes laughing my ass off after realizing that his Teamspeak client kept dropping him.

To be fair, the voice is very similar to the autopilot message. :P

I've seen a few newbies (real ones, not fake ones) recently, trying to dictate strategy like that, it's kinda funny but can get a bit annoying too...

For the 1st 6 months of gameplay, I was convinced that capships could mount a missile that deployed prox.

HAHA. Allow it to be mounted on something that can cloak and you have the ultimate anti-bombrun assist ship.

One cloaked ship at just beyond max range with a few of those missiles loaded plus a bunch of ramming ints? WIN!
