Ok, I can understand the FEDS (TCN) space station opening fire when you recover illegal items.

But, I had just finished defending a pirate base. I recovered a contraband cargo, and wouldn't you know it, the pirate space station nailed me good.
Fortunitly I had enough time to eject the cargo.

Of course, they stop firing when the cargo is ejected. No memory at all :<))

Well, not exactly a quote, but yes indeed, extracted from the Princess Bride and distorted to fit my posting needs.

I just get my copy today, early, and begin to play a nice game of Star Fury. I play most of the day and through most of the missions. I am proud of the game as I really enjoy it so I decide to show it off to my twin nephews. Both are 6 and still strung out from Halloween.

They eeeww and oww at the game and generally are very excited. They ask if they can play it and I say after I am done. We all go out side to enjoy the nice cold weather and I become distracted working on my Quad. I ripped the front fender off the other day down at sandlake and was replacing the bracket when I realized that both of my nephews were AOL. I know instantly where they are. I run for the house...... I run down the hall..... I enter the room just in time to see my ship crash into a planet. GAME OVER..........

I should have saved it, but we all know why I didn't; "Ah nothing will happen while I am away."

Such is life

If you're quick, you can recover from your Last warp jump using the autosave!

OK, not really funny, at least not for me.

Second time through the campaign, this time with SJ's P&N Mod, which is awesome by the way. I'm on the mission where you have to protect the Pirate Starbase. I arrive at said Starbase with my Abbidon Cruiser fairly decked out. Battle ensues almost immediately. Must be about a dozen or so Pirate Cruisers/Destroyers and another dozen fighters against me and the starbase. I am frantically involved in battle...target nearest,,FIRE...target nearest,,FIRE...etc. The heavens are on fire with the glow of APB's, MB's, DUC's, and a variety of missiles and torpedoes. This intense battle rages for the better part of an hour, realtime not gametime, and it's finally down to just 2 pirate cruisers left. I'm following one of them with my APB/Tachyon Cannon's blazing as rapidly as they can fire. The enemy cruiser starts a left turn, I immediately turn right as I am following close enough for max damage. The enemy was only fooling on his left turn and immediately swings right, yeah right into my path with no time to react...BOOM. Collision in space which demolishes my ship. Almost an hour battle which will have to be fought again!!
God I love this game!!
