Well played SysX. We were a bit rusty and you took full advantage. Better miner o gave you the edge in the financial race which meant you could bomb us whilst we still had regular ints (and $26k invested in the expansion upgrade 
). I don't usually enjoy IC vs IC, but it was nice to play a SG in the right spirit - the whiniest person in the game was Masta, which was impressive when you consider he wasn't even playing...
I spent the last 20-30 minutes acting as an extra miner - flying around back sectors picking up cashboxes. I found about 10 I think, with treasures set to medium. Then some miners came into the sector and what happened was this....
- I fly at one, shooting dis2 at it. It starts to rip
- SysX abort the rip, and mock me saying "nice dis1 gandalf"
- I turn around, prox2 it, switch to gat 2, ram it into mines
- Mumble chat goes "err is Gandalf really about to kill that miner?"
- HSharp comes to pod me but I just manage to finish off the miner before it can rip or it can kill me
- I respond on all chat "that's dis TWO, thanks"
- Cue much "gallows humour" on mumble as we rejoice in this unexpected turn of events
After the game Drizzo said "you know what's funny... we told him to get advanced miners"

Also your lucky I was being stupid because I thought you were on the other side of the He rock when I could have just boosted right at you. Still my main goal of podding you giving you the long walk back was my main objective. (And hoping you didn't have a rescue beacon nearby)
