Funny Starfury Moments

Share your funny moments from playing Starfury! The AI does something stupid, YOU do something stupid, a bug in the game, whatever!

Moments after I fired on an Abbidon freighter I was collecting a bounty on, I got this message: "We detect no ill will in you, Dogpile." Wishful thinking on the part of the Abbidon, or are they a bit slow on the uptake?

Another freighter, this time Terran - I'm chasing his two escort fighters around and I slip past one and guess what... along comes the other and KABOOM! Now there was one dead fighter and one heavily damaged fighter, and the Terran ship was easy prey

Three pirate cruisers are heading for me, but I've got a big TCN fleet behind me. A carrier (8 fighters), a battleship, and 3 destroyers & cruisers.
I stood back in an asteroid field to watch the initial exchange of fire which was most impressive. The carrier alone let loose a volley of 4 CSMs plus all its fighters pumping P&N meson bLasters into the enemy.
Quantum torpeodes flew from the Battlecruiser, and space was alive with purple APBs. In seconds the Pirates' shields were stripped on all facings, and they were taking serious armor hits.
I then headed into the melee in order to make sure the one Pirate I was hired to kill actually did die

I wheel and deal the damage for a minute before noticing a distinct lack of friendly fire.
While the Fighters were still swarming with me, all of the capital ships had killed one pirate and then decided to leave!
With the TCN fighters chewing the occasional CSM intended for me, and absorbing PD continuously, they began to thin out.

It was all I could do to retreat back to the asteroid belt before taking heavy internal damage and losing most of my armor.
Then they fined me for not finishing the Job

shouldn't this be in the starfury board?

Yes this should be in Star Fury but...
I am on a mission to protect a freighter. I follow it around the system making sure nothing bothers it and I come up on the mission end time not a scratch on the freighter and I get fined for not completing the mission.

apparently, 'escort the freighter' means 'kill all the pirates created to attack it'. or so i've heard.

Ed, i think this post on the se4 forum is ok

it is just a '3d-gui' for se4 anyway right?

I downloaded the demo but it crashes way way too much on my system for me to really 'play' it :/

I hope they fix those problems soon, it looks fun

Oops, I THOUGHT I was in the Starfury board when I posted this...

..I love to creep up behind pirates at full throttle and deplete their aft shields, pulverise their aft armor, and mash their hull till they die... but more often than not, once their armor is gone, I manage to utterly destroy their engines. they come to an abrupt halt and I always fail to hit the breaks. I ram, I die.

I always feel like a goof, but sure enough, I reload and do it again, and again,...

Cheers!

it generally takes me a several shots to destroy all there engines, so i generally have time to slow down.
