Things that go BOOM in the black.

8/3/3304 Pilot: CMDR Calon Ship: Carcharodon Location: EURYBIALandmines.... yup I found them. And was hauling them back to Liz Ryder when I got interdicted by 2 Federal assault ships and a really ballsy pilots in a DBE. These guys thought they could take me and a full on fur ball broke out. While I was busy working on the assault ships the DBE snuck up behind me and blew out my cargo hatch. I guess they also wanted landmines. Well so there I am maneuvering and all these landmines trailing out behind me and the DBE is trying to scoop them all up. Once I realized what was going on I had my co-pilot swivel our ventral turret back at the land mines and told her to shoot as soon as I boosted. Which we did.
Results? Well a 3 km long string of landmines going up was pretty specacular, particularly when the DBE with its cargo hatch opened was sitting at the other side. It had a few tons in its cargo bay....
In the end. Some hull damage on my part, and a few less landmines than I needed. On their part one assault ship destroyed one ran away and one DBE blown to space dust. I don't think the assault ship that got away will even try to come back and salvage anything..
Moral of the story kids... Land mines are Bad.
