I didn't follow the CDT program too well. I'm fixing that by taking every single CDT/CDT-A course going out :D

- forgot to mount abs while bombing enemy base
- ran out of O2 in my pod
- had trouble finding the green doors in bases
- boosted full speed through a proxed aleph
- thought PPs are like normal probes with 5K range so spammed these everywhere :D

Doesnt that imply that being podded by an XT is a newbie mistake which therefore implies that XTs can only pod newbies?
Hooray for my backwards logic! :P

- Ramming rock while in F3
- Flying to the wrong aleph with a bomber, ppl screaming at me but not noticing
- Building an Op in the home sector
- Misclicking for a tech con, with only one rock of that type in the enemy home sector...
- Forgetting to mount ABs in time when stealth bombing

Aside from the usual overboosting and flying into prox, I gave my teams plenty of frustration from the pilot seat of a bomber.

Some of my better moments:
-Spotting a probe up ahead, and trying to fly around it instead of waiting for a nan to go kill it. I got too close and got eyed anyway.
-Taking the default bomber loadout (2 racks of AB, 4 racks of ammo) to kill their garrison and end the game early. The team went on to lose after I saved the comm trouble by booting myself.
-(This is my personal best) After our op goes up next to an enemy sector and the team is screaming to bomb, I get the bomber and head out. Of course, I have to be sneaky and take an alternate route, never mind that the whole team is screaming at me and I'm eyed the whole way. I get killed by a camp when I finally get to their sector, and only then do I realize that the op was built 1k from the enemy aleph, solely for this bomb run. :doh:

I still don't like to fly bombers. :D
There are two kinds of people in this world: those that, when they order a candy bar from the vending machine and it gets stuck, walk away frustrated, and those that order another candy bar to get two. And then there are those who smash the glass and take all of them. But that's a different thing altogether.

My bombers seem to have a super-sig code and a random explosion code. As soon as I launch, enemies come swarming and kill me.

It's got to the point that even in TP2 runs with everyone in bombers, I'll get a nan.
