i was flying with a new guy on SWG (a relitivly old friend) and a friend i had made about a week ago. we were piloting a POB ship loaded out with level 8-10 scrap and i was pretty new to the whole pob piloting things, you gota fly strait in order for your gunners to aim and you have to turn to avoid fire, keep enemys in one position relitive to your ship things like that. I was looking around at tatooine when i noticed another POB ship, i was in a nova and this guy was in a Yt-1300. my ship actuly outperformed his as far as speed and manuverability is conserned (which sorta suprised me). it told me he was using scrap components as well. This was an awsome coincidence, i figure i should have fun with him and steal his kills, but my bottom gunner wouldnt do that so i got the idea to challenge him. We layed down the terms


The system: Tatooine

The game: Killing NPC's

The limit: 25 kills

The arena: station star 1

The prize: a little sum of 20K


we lined up at 2K out from the farthest hutt bomber and grouped together. The captains would track their own kills (honor system) and with the starting signal we both took of boosters hot.


the result was unimportant, the main thing was this was lots of fun! kill stealing and running off into big backs of enemys, quickly killing them all off then moving onto the next targets, counting your kills and shuttering each time they managed to score one, really lotsa fun. So try this out for yourself. if your floating along in a POB ship and you run into another group in a POB, swing them a challenge, lay down the terms, and lay down the green.


At the end of the challenge both my crew and the other captains meet. we went to the winners POB ship wherehanded out a drinks of brandy (well its what should of happend <.<


still lots of fun.

We (Rebel Pilot group on Valcyn) have done a variation of that type of thing a few times. For us (or at least me), it's referred to as a "Deep Space Dash." The idea is two teams compete for kills, but there are a few ground rules. A Team consists of a POB ship (YTs or Novas for us) and escort fighters (number dependent on turnout). A Kill is the death of any Decimator or Imperial Gunboat (this is a Rebel Pilot group, after all). Escort fighters are there to run anti-fighter and anti-enemy-player duty, but are not to engage the Decimators or Gunboats. Kills are counted by the Team Leader (often the POB Captain, but not necessarily) with the honor system. After a certain time limit, highest kill count wins. Since we have a city founded by Pilots now, with a Cantina planned, hopefully we will be able to land and grab a drink at the bar afterwards.
