What''s the greatest odds you''ve won against?

Most outnumbered time would have to be when I was travelling around with some Artifacts (Not like the police scan me anyway, they prefer just to shoot on sight... So does everyone else except all the criminals who love me

) But anyway, I was carrying the artifacts, under fire by the liberty police (Hehe, justice's on a level 10 shield look funny..) and notice someone that I've killed before wanting vengeance, but he was only in a hawk so I thought hey, easy kill if he attacks me, atleast I had a titan to pilot, and I was happily flying up to him when I see two other people coming through the trade lane and staying next to him, one in a hammerhead, the other a drone, then the Universal people started attacking with the police, so I'm still watching my shields as they slowly drop from the weak fire, and scan the guy with the hammerhead, and hello, he has a few wyrms, and he managed to have a sunslayer,

But so did I, so I flew up and they opened fire, I shot two cannonballs at the drone and a sunslayer, and that killed him pretty easily, (Although I'm amazed he didn't dodge the sunslayer..) little annoying hawk is flying around in circles and hasn't even opened fire on me, so I started fighting with the hammerhead and he managed to chop off one of my wing during the fight, this was the only person that I've met that fights a proper fight, we met head on about a good 10 or 11 times before I had destroyed him, then noticed this hawk circling me still, (not sure if he had shot me, but why do people go around in circles? it makes them a really easy target for missles.. bah, stupid..) I shot down a cop then noticed the hawk flying at me, I shot a paralyzer then a cannonball and that managed to kill him, so now missing a wing and a nomad+wyrm2, I managed to get to rochester base, sell the artifacts and get back to safe territory (Omega-5) without meeting up with any of them again.

"Yeah hello[! I'd like to report this taxi driver.."
"And his name is?"
"Jam.. the symbol for Boron.. and a weird q surrounded by dots.."
"You sure it was Boron and not manganese?"
"Ofcourse I'm sure, I had the periodic chart with me at the time.." -.-

I'm playing on a modded server, but the modders strategy is, if we can't make the AI smarter (their really dumb) just make more of them

Well i was undocking from freeport 9 the other day, and got it on with 12 hammerheads, by the time i killed 8, 8 more spawned, and 8 more, and 8 more, and 8 more.

By the time my smoking guns stopped blasting i left behind 40 to 50 dead bountyhunter bodies

(just in time, having 0 shields and 23 nanobatteries left)

Setup: Eagle (offcourse), 4 Nomad Blasters, 2 Del Cid's

I was playing a pirate in Liberty - thought I'd blast cargos in front of Mahattan. Then about 8 liberty police and 3-4 bounty hunter ships attack me! I expected them to do so, but I've never expected to win this one... of course these are not powerful ships, but I'm alone with my dagger fighting them. Afterburner rules!

My two toughest:

Eagle against 20 level 19 Bounty Hunters - toughest mission I ever did, diff 43.

Eagle against 47 GMG Hawks - not quite all at once, but in waves. I made the mistake of flying by Naha with GMG hostile. Might have been a few Falcons in there too.

Taking down four Corsair Titans in my pussy Anubis [it was good for its point in the game, but not for going through the Omega and Omicron systems I still only had my Reapers and Deaths Hands, then making it to Freeport 9 in Omicron Theta

rofl , i'd just taken 2 lvl 42 difficulty missions from the Corsairs , 225K each! had killed 60+ BHs without any difficulty. BHs really really hated me , rep bar was totally red. Met up with a friend in Omnicron Theta, docked , came out , found 12 Hammerheads, blasted 6 , another 12 came in.... and so it went. My friend joined in and together we easily left around 80+ Hammerheads smoking. My friend was still neutral with the Bhs , so i ran for it (couldn't dock due to the amount of BHs shooting me).I head off to the Omnicron ALpha jumphole while my friend cleans up all the loot and makes himself 500K.

had an Eagle
2 Salamanca MkII
2 Nomad Energy Cannons
Sunslayer torpedo
Ripper mine
2 Cerberus'

And boy i used all my mines and torpedos , very , VERY expensive reloads

I was cruisin in my barracuda, and I decided to skip the hammerhead in my ship progression. I went directly for the titan. Well, the barracuda didn't much appreciate the radiation. My hull was dropping fast. I was hauling ass, jumphole to jumphole. I finally made it to leon base... Due to a horrendous miscalculation, I hit my torpedo button instead of the boost button, and I fired a torpedo right into leon base.

The corsairs didn't much appreciate the gesture, and tore into me. I Didn't even TRY to kill one. I just ran like no tomorrow. I barely made it to freeport, with 2 nanobots and 3 shield batteries to spare.

the greatest odds I've won out against was when I flew out to Omicron Alpha in my hammerhead. I beat down about 20 sabres in a row, but finally, a squad of four of 'em took me down.

Mines a running battle just after leaving Liberty in SP. I went to grab a dromedary, forgetting that the Outcasts still disliked me and tend to hang around Mactan. I was flying a Clydesdale at the time.

So I go through the Leeds-Magellan Jumphole and run right smack into a wad of outcasts...No problem...I thruster, kill engine, and powerslide my way out of range and towards (presumably) neutral Mactan base. Now this is before I learned that hostile allies of neutral factions make the neutrals hostile(first game). I arrive, and now the whole area lights up. My shields go down in all of about 10 seconds, and my thruster is running on fumes. I orient myself more or less towards the jumphole, and do another engine kill, this time going into turret mode. Around this time I lose one of my "wings" and hit the shield battery key again...out of batteries. About 3 or 4 Outcasts have been toasted in this time. Whew...made it to the jumphole. And as if my luck wasn't bad enough, I somehow manage to arrive right on top of another cluster of enemies. I lose another wing and my mine launcher and skewer another AI before managing to engage cruise..."missile warning!" urgh...engine kill, coast some distance out into open space before I'm finally clear. I make it to Leeds with about half my armor, no wings, no shield batts, no nanos, and a few guns short of a full load.

Needless to say, I never got my dromedary.

Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless

Difficulty 31 mission for $69000 out of Baden-Baden, in a Dagger with looted Scorpions. The odds were so odd, I just couldn't resist.

25 daggers with me in a noob starflyer. Arrived with no wings. Ship looked like an egg on fire.

Using justice mark 1's, level 1 shield and 3bat/bot b4 running out.

i wasted nasher when he demanded my nomad guns in alpha. I said no and charged him, he died in 5 secs, propably cuz i was fast and had the element of surprise. He hasn't tried that again, but he did dent me majorly 2.

I made the mistake of jumping to a hostile system (somewhere in rheinland or Liberty I think) through a jumpgate and not a jumphole... 25 hawks, 5 falcons, 3 cargo trains, and 10 of the locacl military... But I was in a titan with 2 GUARDIANs, 2 Skyblast As, a Cannonball and neutraliser in my lvl 9 slots, Screamer mines, Sunslayer Torpedo, and level 10 shield I bought from the corsairs. It's really hard to hit all those little light fighters when you're in a flying brick... But as soon as I got them lined up they died... Took a while and it managed to chip my shields down to nothing with no shield bats, 10 naons left, and I still had the tradelane and jumpgate firing at me... Needless to say I hauled ass out of there...
