What will you do for the last kill???

[OrlandoM3]

Got a few Screenshots and a funny story to share if you are interested.

I've only been playing SHIII around a month. I've probably got 30 missions under my belt and I just started my second career game. These shots are from my second mission I just ended. You probably won’t believe it, I wouldn’t if I didn’t have the screenshots to prove it. I just finished patrolling the sector for 24 hours and now I’m in a shipping lane looking for more tonnage. I bag a few C2s and I have one last torp. I’m just about ready to warp back to port and call it quits when I get a contact closing on my position. It’s a merchant headed straight for me. It turns out only to be a small merchant and I have one torp. so I figure I might as well burn it on this ship. Almost a waste of ammo, right? Just you wait.

It closes right up to me and I mag. it at 90 deg. 500m around 3:45AM. Time you say…why the time…read on it gets better. Boom! Huge explosion but it doesn’t break the ship and it doesn’t sink. The ship has a huge list of probably 45% or more so I sit and compress for fifteen game minutes and I don’t believe it. It’s not sinking or even moving!

I surface the ship and tell the navigator to pull right up next to the ship. I ask the ships first officer to start taking notes and pictures. Here’s one of the ship around 4:00AM as we surface and start our sharking circle waiting for the ship to sink.



I ask the Weapons Officer to man the deck gun. He reports back we are out of ammo sir but the flak gun is full. I order him to empty the flak gun on the ship and on anything left on deck that burns as we circle her.

After exhausting the flak gun and gunner. Notice the time 4:33AM.



All out of ammo! No change in the ship at all.

I’m not letting this %$^% !@$% merchant ship get the better of me! I’ll show him! Navigator plot a course to bring us 90 deg at a range of 1000m.

Rudder Amidships. Chief Engineer set your speed to RAMMING!



Sound Collision! Damage Stations!



Angle of Attack +20%. Wait this isn’t an airplane!



Airborne for a longer flight than the Wright Bros!



Goooooddd Riiidddence! Now, Give me your tonnage! Back to Port...Ask the First Officer "You did get the pictures right?!?"



And the First Sig. is Born!
