my favorite moment was right after i beat single play for the first time... i wanted to go to malta, because i read here that sabres were sold there... didnt think to check what faction they were, so im in an anubis and i had no idea where any jump holes were... so i ended up having to run like hell, i used all my nanos getting away from outcasts, so i just had to fight corsairs... i kept going and going, not having any idea where i would wind up, because i had no place to dock anywhere out there, and didnt know about patrol lanes, so i was flying completely blind just heading into clouds to escape... anyway long story short, i killed so many freakin corsairs the hessians were green to me (never even heard of hessians before this jaunt, mind you) , so my repair-less ship limped into a hessian base i wound up stumbling into in one of the sigma systems, completely on flames with only a tiny sliver of health left from all the radiation and combat... i can still see the docking animation to this day, was like 2 hours of complete and raw exploration ending with my ship engulfed in flames seeking repairs. most intense game experience ive ever had, period
