The Hunt: On
15 Jan 2016Sxtxixtxcxh
Got the last bits of outfitting for the Viper that'll be stashed at Cleve just in case. Interdicted on the way back. Dropped the throttle and dropped out.Boost. Flight Assist: Off. Turn. Deploy Hardpoints.
... and suddenly the ship is dead in the water. no thrusters, no shields, no weapons...
Takes a moment before I realize the ship is drawing too much power. Disable cargo hatch. Redeploy... at 57% hull now from an Eagle. Shields start charging. Weapons out.
It takes a bit but I finally take him out. This Viper is slower than the 1887. Slower in Boost. Slower in Turning. Even in FA: Off.
Maybe I'll just sell this thing and kit out a Cobra Mk III instead.
There's a call for bounty hunters at Tanaka Gateway. I might know these people. I used to run Onionhead for some... people. Whatever... Drug runners tend to pay pretty nice, so on to Anawere.
Anyway remember kids: check your power profiles before getting into combat after installing a new power module.
