I remember one time, i was sitting in the garrison checking the screen. Someone starts attacking our miner
in sector next to our garrison. i grab a bios fig and boost toward that sector. I cloak and proceed
thru aleph. Miner is heading right for me, on way to garrison at 2k out. I drop a prox when miner was at 1200 away.

The person was right behind miner following and shooting at it. Mines activated in front of them.
Was never eyed until i un cloaked in front of their pod. :)

I was visiting a friend who played Allegiance. He had a flight stick, whereas I do not fly with one. I was in awe of how the hat switch worked. I thought it was so cool you could 'look backward' while flying. So I started proxing people watching backward while I saw the imbeciles plow through my prox fields. :rofl:

I get a dreg scout loaded with prox and start a run through their home. Ints start chasing me. Pod one, two, three, I'm laughing my ass off while flying forward looking backward then :doh: I slam into a rock. And so ends the days of mcwarren4 and a flight stick.

Ahh, the prox whore that never was. Well, I can't say it was a major loss.

Well it wasn't a kill but turreting a cap ship, the pilot (either serb or bucket) shoots an aleph res i kill the missile before it hits the aleph. we sit there waiting and the pilot goes balistic not understanding what happened. we were clearly winning at this point...

There was this one time, at band camp...

I was playing a small game (5 or 6 a side) during my Cadet days. I was already in a scout when an enemy bomber is eyed entering our sector with a tele in it. Damn! I'm in a scout. Ok, so I rip in, expecting support and maybe I can be cannon fodder while the figs rip in to D. Damn! There's an enemy fig camping the tele (which I didn't know at the time). So I fire off a dumb, drop prox, and head towards the bomber (primarily to try to draw the camping fig to me so that the real d can get in cleanly). Pop goes the fig. WTF? I don't argue with the Server Gods.

I head towards the bomber and see that he's got a single nan scout. I drop prox, fire off a dumb and start blazing with my Gatt1 of Noob. The nan pops his weasel and switches on his pod porn. I'm behind the bomber at this point (no turrets that I can tell/recall but I'm still new to the game and my situational awareness is almost zero). I fire off my remaining dumbs, Gatt blazing, and the bomber pops, too. WTF? This should NOT be! I guess the Server Gods were smiling on me that day.

I was so confused about the probability of this happening I actually posted about it in the Cadet forums to (what I expected to be) a skeptical crowd. To their credit, they took me at my word that it actually happened that way but all agreed that it was an unlikely occurrence.

Open air proxing a full speed bomb run can take out the run if it's prox2 and you turn about to hit him a couple other times, I guess. Otherwise, that's seriously pro ;)

I'm sorry I don't remember any of it. For you the day spideycw graced your squad with utter destruction was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Sunday

I probably remember more epic miner or con or bomber saves than kills.

Proxing 5 incoming Hvy bombers off an adjacent TP2 drop was kool.

OH there was one time I was camping the wrong side of an aleph in an Adv Bios scout, I just sat their watching and waiting for incoming SFs(I had dropped a probe about 1.7k from the aleph) as soon as they were eyed, I cloaked, waited for the right distance, dropped and strafed in any direction up/down/left/right. They didnt see @#(!, was quite funny having a good few people on all chat wondering how the $#@! they were dying before going through an aleph :doh:
