Fight for 25$? I did.

Now this was idiotic, I was about to dock with Baltimore Shipyard in the demo and when I was on approach some junkers arrive and threaten me to dump some scrap metal worth 25$ Needless to say it was just 1x Scrap metal and no more but they wanted it.

I considered it a long time.
I got a Rhino, equipped with stolen Xeno Shield and hull draining tech, Rouge weapons and turrets and some Liberty stuff to fill up.
I decided to keep those $ and engage them instead, for a lousy 25$.
Needless to say, My Rhino killed all 3 of them, but made me think, 3 Junkers, no loot for me and I killed them for a lousy 25$...

Anybody done the same?

There is no problem that can't be resolved with a weapon, if it don't resolve, try a bigger one.

they even threaten me when I was flying a souped up sabre...

Junkers "Hey you! Gimme that loot"
Freelancer "what? I only have 1 unit of scrap metal, and I don't remember where did I get it from.."
Junkers "I don't care! You got loot and I want it now!"
Freelancer "What if I don't want to drop it? what are you going to do?"
Junkers "Either you drop it or I'll take it myself!"
Freelancer "God damn it! Is your scanners working? you got any idea what kind of ship I'm flying? It's a freaking Saber!!"
Junkers 2 "He's alone, we outnumbered him 3 to 1"
Freelancer "You guys are freaking nuts! Even if the three of you constantly shooting at me, there's no way you can bring down my level 10 shields.."
Junkers 3 "Look, we are going to count to 3. Drop your loot or you'll be sucking vacuum.."
Junkers 3" one...
Freelancer "two three... wtf!!?? @!@#$!!@#$% stupid junkers! "
Junkers "aaahhh!!!.."
Junkers 2 "Hull breach imminent..hhaaaa!!"
Junkers 3 "I want my mommy.."

Lesson learned - never fly into a mine field or gas pocket if your AI is not properly equipped proper evading skills and algorithym.

HAHAHAHAHHA
Funniest thing I have ever read, Those Junkers can be irritating, and I just read up on that Sabre, 10k in hull, and a good shield, well they don't stand a chance...
Just like my Rhino, but our battle was pretty funny.
I think the service men at the shipyard would been shocked, first a Junker through the service bay, followed by a crazy man with a huge Rhino running afterburners...

I hit the station several times, the local police didn't even care, but I won after flying around and through that service bay 5 times.

There is no problem that can't be resolved with a weapon, if it don't resolve, try a bigger one.

No, the worst annoyance with the Junkers is when they, again, ask for 1 scrap metal. Naturally I drop it, and then shoot it. They couldn't take out my shield, and I was bored. I rammed each one of them until they all died. Took about 30mins, but I did it.

The funniest thing i've seen to date was a single Junker CSV trying to rob me of my one food rations, while i was sitting there in a fully kitted out Whitestar Cruiser. If you're wondering, it's a pretty big ship. With two shields. And reaaally big guns. He must have REALLY had the munchies...

It was oxygen....i was just starting out, but i had an kusari gunboat....i was doing some patrols....some rouge asks me to drop my oxygen, which is no good anywhere...then 4 of his buddies show up....so i drop it, shoot it, start a fight....i win, i killed 2 with my guns right off the bat...the other rouge flys into manhatten (we were on the farside away from all the bases) and the other one rams into me, loses half his hull, then gets jumped by a group of defenders and a cruiser....lol pretty damn funny.

Junkers are the stupidest faction, they keep trying to loot all the junk, last time I fought them they started running away through the trade lane... COWARDS!
