going up against 15 or so Bounty Hunters or corsairs titans.
I was planing to land on that corsairs planet suudenly one of the corsairs looted me and i did not drop cargo.. so they fired at me and my plan to land was poofed.. I was trapped in a corsair system and died with lots of consumer goods to be looted by them.

Me:
Class 4 Mule freighter. Class 4 shield. Class 3/4 weapons.

Them (6 off):
Class 9 Centurion fighters. Class 6 shields. Class 6/7 weapons.

Happens everytime I leave Freistadt.

hehe, i accepted a level 18 mission when i just hit level 2 myself.
had a neat starflier, the 2 standard guns and the standard shield.

the enemies were flying centurion and i thought "holymotherfu**ingsh**".

you know how frustrating it is to try to rip off someones shields with these guns?
took me about 5 minutes to kill one of them (i think they were xenos).

eventually i succeeded (after another wave of them...) and got rewarded by 12,000 credits *LOL*

was funny though

Just recently I made the mistake of wandering into Corsair home territory. jeez they were vicious! 8-9 Titans, 3 waves in a row before I finally escaped. Oh, and there were some minor weapons platforms giving me trouble. I kept pushing into their territory and it only got worse.... I think i fought 6 or 7 waves with varying numbers of titans. I wanted to reach the jump hole to the next system. I never reached the jump hole, but I did manage to retreat to a Freeport station in the previous system. Counter measures were never more precious (and life saving)!!!

Me, Starflier and starting equipment vs. 8 Navy Defenders.

Won without a scratch.

Jumped by four by bounty hunters hammerhead (I never liked them..) near omicron gamma, I think, outcast homeworld..

At that time , I was still neutral with outcast. Lost my wings on my dromedary (and two guns) . Later on another waves came in so I ran to the nearest outcast patrol I can find. These idiot bounty hunters keep chasing me althought the outcast saber was ripping them up....

By the next jumphole, 8 hammerhead appears...and...well...had to reload..
But since now I know the engine cutoff technic, this is not going to be a problem anymore...

Hit your enemy when they are down
Hit your enemy when they surrender
Hit your enemy when they can't fight no more

I had to fight off about 29 Sabre Lane Hackers with a Valkerie Champion Shield with Stealthblade MK2's and a Hornviper Turret MK1. I did fine without having to use any shield batteries or nano bots. Thats me though.

well, i went to explore the rheinland sectors ( im at the point of the game where they are hostile)

3 cargo trains, a tradelane firing at me, a jumpgate after me, bounty hunters after me ( 6 ) , police after me ( 12 ). it was something like that, i took a screenshot of it. could someone put it up for me?

My most wildest experience was on multiplayer when i was trying to go buy my eagle. I was in an old dromodery and i was taking the Omicron Alpha -> Omicron Theta jumphole when i realised the corsairs hated me. So, lets say, 7 titans against a single dromodery, with no guns. Of course i died but after about 3 times all by myself with titans every time i came out of the hole, i finaly managed to break through with almost no hull left.

Hmm...that brings up an interesting idea that could be in the sequel or expansion pack: Blockade running...

Hmmmm I'd say it was on an Artifact run. I grab 40 from some wrecks and 30 from FP9. As I collect the 40... Bam! 4 Nomads show up after my butt. Me in an Anubis... I'm diving wheeling and dieing as I run to FP9 bam some barracudas show up... I'm saved!

I'm flying through jumpholes in Rhienland to reach Manhattan. (Rhienland cops always scan me ><!) I come out, 8 thats 8 Stilettos start firing DURING the cutscene thing killing my shields, cant cruise away, only got 12 counters and 3 SB, 9 Nano's. Dodging and dieing about 12 times as I try running and fighting, finally it reloads with only 4... I fight kill 2 lose almost everything limp somehow to a trade lane, get busted smuggling, I'm being chased by Rhienlanders all over the place + the Rhienland pirates... Finally I reach Hamburg ? Land restock and on to Liberty!

My most thrilling run was getting back to neutral space after mission 9 to get some more money. In trying to avoid the Kusari police and navy patrols I took a jumpgate that brought me straight to the Outlaw's system and damn close to their base (I didn't quite realise that).
After fighting off wave of wave of Stilettos and those mini-star destroyer ships they have (Barracudas?) I started getting low on shields and bots. Plus each wave followed the previous so quickly that I didn't have time to get away either (damn cruiser disruptors). So eventually I decided to just run for it until I was at least a decent distance from the base, kill the last wave and get to cruise speed.

Next jump point of course there's another bunch of them eating away my precious last shield batteries. I jump and watch in horror as the bunch guarding the other side blows off my pretty Dragon's wings before I even get control. Then one more bad message informs me my booster has left the ship . No nanos, ICM or batteries left at this stage so going to cruise is out of the question.
I manage to destroy them all but my ship looks like a VW Beetle after an bad accident and I cruise with two little blocks of hull left to Freeport 6, narrowly avoiding a Samura patrol by flying as close as possible to the sun.

I finally reach Freeport 6 and started the docking sequence as a Kusari patrol drops out of the trade lane and starts firing, knocking away my shield and bringing my hull down to one block. I quickly escape out of the docking sequence, fly to the other side of the station and finally managed to dock before they could find me. Pricy repairs, but what a rush to just make it by the skin of your teeth

Best survival story by far was when I got fed up with the storyline & just went touring the Boarder & Edge worlds.


Basically I was in a Kusari Heavy fighter{Stuck with it because of storyline level restrictions} & traveled all the way to the Omega-41 system & the unknown system from Omicron Alpha.Got knocked around a bit by nomads,Red hessians & Corsairs.Good things I was allied with the Bounty hunters & Outcasts or it wouldn't have been possible to even reach that far.
