So, you're flying along with your nifty Cargo ship, when suddenly your alarms blare and knock you out of your captains chair. You climb back in, scanning the stars for a hostile threat, when your sensors detect a massive ship moving in behind you.
Switching to your rear view, you see some alien ship closing, and fast!
"Go baby go," you tell your ship, trying to coax every ion out of it you can. Just another 300 clicks until the Starbase. I gotta make it.
Yer alarms blare warnings, and power to the shields. You feel your ion engines kick out, and impulse kick in. If you had had any chance of making it to safety, they just left on ion vapors.
Your ship gets rocked by a laser blast or two, as another three sear past your front window. You begin evasive move.
Your radio crackles to life, and a very human voice comes up over the speaker.
"I see yah'll ain't gotcher self no shields yet, hmm? I highly suggest you get some, first chance yah'll can afford it."
The radio cuts out, and the alien vessel falls back, and is soon left behind.
You thank your stars and garters that whoever, whatever piloted that decided to leave. A sick joke? Cruel humor? Or helpful advice.
You check your trade reports, and find the closest Station with Standard Shields.
"Yeah," you say in a shakey voice, "I need those."
The merchant smiles at you, knowingly.
"I see yah'll met Razor, eh? Or maybe that's Myrth. Ah, who cares? Now, how soon will yah'll be wanting them installed?"
-----------------------------
So if you see me over your shoulder, and you ain't got no shields...expect a couple love taps, and a friendly suggestion of shields.
Shields in Fed Space...
So I come driving into 383 heavy with 60t of hardware when I m hit by a villainous dog lurking in the gutter just behind the entry point. No time to counter the first missile and it hits.I then notice that he is laying in with the lasers and that my shields are down. I return fire and see that his shields are up so I dont think it was a system command. Any idea what happened there.
