So, I was in Lelande with a nice collection of my peers, holding off a couple waves of K'luth attackers. We had just repelled the 2nd wave and the survivors were all getting refitted, when I had a stellar idea.
I thought: Why not get repairs, and then move to deep space where I can sit and wait for their next attack and then jump them from the rear... We were slightly outnumbered and it seemed that with each assault our numbers lessened.
So, I plot a jump to deep space, roughly 15,000gu from the cluster we were defending (not too far that I couldn't jump back in under 10 secs), and off I go. Brooksie, without my knowing, had put me on follow, so he came out with me. Once out of jump, I replace my reactor with my EccM just to take a peek...
Well...all of a sudden a half dozen Red Diamonds appear in a semi-circle around me. Mercy Only my luck would place a seemingly random jump into deep space into the center of the Kluth fleet.
I distressed like mad and started the engins up. Brooksie, who said he was watching Oprah at the time (and why would anyone lie about that), heard a long string of BEEPS and rushed to his computer to find himself fleeing a small horde of K'luth...He was on follow and I was running like a... a... I'll take a stab at a word that I'm sure none of you would ever equate with my, most prestigeous of names... like a coward.
The Rest of the fleet jumped into the fray, Brooksie took control of his ship and I nearly broke the keyboard as I stabbed my e-jump key with all the passion of a drowning...man/woman.
Just thought I should share.
(incidentally, I did rejoin the fray...I only run when it is clear that there is no hope in staying. In those endless seconds while my speed slowly increased and my Drive recharged, I watched as 4 sets of Cl2000's and Elf beams hit each of my Armor plates. Pretty neat to watch all 5 armor slots go from 100% to 0% in under 5 secs.)
