A strange experience while playing Total War

I was playing total war, and I got a viper. (Patriot) And a few guns to match. Then I see in the chat box:

"All LSF friendly units please report to sector 6D"

Strange. Normally people don't go all RPG. Anyways, that player was named Zypher. He turned out to be quite a decent leader. I was in a group with 3 other people. We were going to try a....Lvl 21 mission! (Dramatic music) In Total War, that is pretty much suicide. And indeed it was. Yet I heard another "battle cry" from zypher: FOR TRIGGERHAPPY!! (That's my online name.) They slaughtered 'em. Strange how people can range from people like zypher to idiots who attack players coming out of manhatten. Then I got to manhatten, where they were going back to sell thier loot and repair their ships. I ended up getting a good 60K just for dying in a mission. A tip to all Total War players: Do suicide missions with higher-level players. It really pays off

Zounds lyke phun. Just speant time reading the TA info. Unforetunately being a less that mediocre player it seems something I shall have to pass on I have a proclivity to expire quickly in heated furball. & here that seems to be a handicap to the extreme. Oh well, that is the way the frog hops.

The only way you'll get better is to try challenging missions. Why not try to improve yourself while you're dying out there in Sirrius? A good pilot can overcome any odds. One guy here beat something like a level 40 mission in one of the omicrons against hammerheads in an unmodded patriot, or so he says. --- VH16

The problem is, in TW, your charecter has one life, and one life only. If you die, you die. Period.
