The most pathetic thing that ever ruined a run

Postby dreadthrone » Tue May 06, 2014 9:52 am

Once I was in sector 3 and my rockman was hit with a missile.

Rockman: HOLY ****

That's all it took. :shock:

Next, I was TORN TO SHREDS by an elite rebel fighter.

Another fail tale:

I was playing as the zoltan c. I was ONE jump too late and was again torn apart by a rebel fighter.

It seems that fail tales tend to happen when you start off as a wimp and then meet a rebel fighter. :lol:

Let's see who has the most pathetic fail ever!

And hear this when you are typing YOUR fail tale: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQB4nAjZIdE :lol:

First of all, I want to point out that I am a fail at this game. I was finally on the last stage of flagship on my sol tan cruiser A. Got a drone system going. 4 shields. Doing extremely well... Until, hacked my weapon system, boarding party with 3 humans, and a boarding drone. Boarding drone killed my victory. Can't suffocate him. Killed my shields, can't repair them cause no oxygen in the room, and oxygen room is dead. Basically the drone my first victory.

lol, I once barely made it to the end of sector 7 with no fuel on kestrel. The rebel fleet was only a few jumps ahead of me so I put on the distress beacon for the next jump.

Met a Mantis Bomber with teleporter, 2 artemis missiles and an ion bomb. Noone could've came out of that one looking pretty.

Never mind that.

Alright, Welcome to the Lanius B.

Story of how I died sector 4. Easy difficulty.

While I hate those the most (especially in later sectors when you get 6 of them), Slug Assaults (both Slug and Pirate) are also very horrid. They tend to do this in the form of having lots of Burst Lasers.

Slug Assaults end what might have been a good run.
