Saturn retail; Starkes, lowtech PE with Pain Easer and Liby (was playable at the time). He was in clan HATE. I was a tank with rifle/HC and a vein ripper LOL....

I have three brief stories to tell.

#1 First gank I ever witnessed

Level 24; on my first ever PE, Loki, having just pulled his LE I headed into PP1 to have a look around. Just beyond the zoneline, I ran into a tank; a god in comparison to Loki, MattUK_24. Matt stood there, un-phased by the presence of a mere mortal, wielding a TPC. He approached me, and I nervously retreated back a few steps.

"Hi mate", Matt said.

"Hi", I replied.

"Come with me", he said.

I didn't utter a word in response, but instead followed obediently as instructed by my elder. Off we went, further and further into Pepper Park, where we encountered our first spy. Matt pulled out his TPC, and blasted a clip of plasma into his face. He dropped, and my heart raced. Further still we went, Matt blasting plasma into unsuspecting runners faces whilst he left me totally and utterly un-touched.

It was at that exact moment that I fell in love with Neocron.

First person to ever gank me:

The first person to ever gank me was a guy called Headshot, who ran into the Plaza 2 aggies with a Liberator, gunning down everyone in sight. Annoyed as I was, I feared his return for the next few days.

First person I ever ganked:

Sir Ramic Hobbs. This guy was quite a character. I had a strange rivalry with him and whichever clan he rolled with at the time from the early days of NC1, right up to the end. Probably inspired by my first ever PK. He came running into PP1 with his Pain Easer, spamming the chat with arrogance. I saw he was red to me, and went running towards him with my liberator. Having an immensely fast setup at the time, I circled him and unleashed a couple of clips, dropping him whilst on his way back to the zoneline with his tail between his legs.

In fairness, I quite liked the guy. We were, however, enemies throughout.

**

Also, a special mention to Revengers Hand. Most of you will more better know him as Smurf/Smurfen.

After I'd killed a few people, I started to get a bit cocky, hanging around talking in PP1. He caught me completely off guard. Before I knew it, I was at half health and being ripped to pieces by his Paw of Bear. Literally before I had even pulled my gun out, he'd ganked me. He utterly shocked me and made me realise I had a hell of a lot to learn about the game before I could compete with the likes of him. Since then, we've been on friendly terms across Uranus, Terra, and now Titan.

Saturn, Military Base

I already had my LE put out and came out of my apartment. Suddenly a bunch of Power-Armor geared (never seen it before) people came through a door and shoot on everything. Remember that i typed something like "Don´t shoot" but before i can press enter i was dead.

Ramic is an RL friend of mine, the person who inspired me to play NC, and again, like your Matt_UK24 story, I watched him kill a whole cave team at CRP when someone stole his 5 slot TRIDE Fusion cannon. He was still in Blue HC PA so must have been a long time ago. But Rabbi, you do realise he never specced resists on any character?

I was also RL friends with Decimator and Neptune. Deci still used to gank me.

**Dribble Joy** · 17-10-12, 19:43

Just made my first kill on Titan.

Well, I say kill, but really I think he just had a massive drug flash (as he didn't fall over when he died). And he might have been relogging as he didn't react. He dropped in less than a clip though so I don't think he could have done anything.

So... yeah, I ganked him.

I know you take the risk running about a busy hunting zone pumped full of drugs without an LE, but I still feel a little dirty.

**Toast** · 17-10-12, 20:33

He might have been watching in horror, unable to move...

**Kanedax** · 17-10-12, 20:33

I haven't ganked anyone yet but I did counter-gank riff raff, which was somewhat embarrassing for him considering he had an ak and my tank was like str 80 using a tangent prototype laser cannon.

**Toast** · 18-10-12, 04:07

Ahh I went down in the caves again tonight on my /32 with 20 poison stacks from a rifle spy...

Revengers eye. not revengers hand. also ramic was a pe roger. just saying

i dont remember who my broke my nc cherry and ganked me. i was afk in the level 1 sewers making a brew with no le chip. i do remember arek ganking me a lot till i managed to get up to a competing level. he chased me across drakkhan zone one night. i kept running. and got to a belt drop zone and then turned around and waited for him to zone. Out comes the pain easer (he wasnt expecting it i dont think)

he turned ran back in side and i dropped him about 25 meters from the GR. satisfaction. of course we all have a million stories like that.

ps. although i never ever played saturn starkes notoriety spread around nc like the plague. From what i remember he used a libby and pocket blizzard freezer pistol. not a pe. Nidd will remember more i am sure.

**Darkener** · 18-10-12, 10:54

I believe it was in one of the out zones of nc, prometheus got me when I was really low level . I remember as its the first time I saw tank pa and is when I decided to play the class seriously .
