Hit in Hadozeko

Starwalker got lucky. Urs Falo arrived in Hadozeko in a Rifter just after Starwalker warped to a random asteroid belt at 50km. The lucky part was that Urs Falo warped into the same belt at zero and started to rat. Could Starwalker close the distance and kill Urs Falo before he saw the danger and warped away? Align and afterburner on.

Starwalker’s heart was pounding as the distance closed... but so very slowly. It was around 28km and within target range but Starwalker held not wishing to alert the Rifter. 20km and Starwalker’s Rifter Lick and a Promise bounced off an asteroid and stopped making progress. Aligning again Starwalker hoped that Urs Falo was too busy with the rats to notice approaching death.

Only 18km away and Urs Falo seemed to be fully absorbed with the two rats, was it time to start the lock? No, wait. 15km away, now it was time to start. Lock started, less than 10km, away – locked and then scrambled. It was on. Autocannons started blazing away and Starwalker’s heart was still pounding. The target shields and armour melted away very quickly and then structure.

It was over. Urs Falo stood no chance and his Rifter exploded into a fireball of death (http://r1fta.killmail.org/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=10211241). The pod appeared in the aftermath of the explosion and Starwalker targeted it but too late, it got away.
