ATOK 4 : Stories

Anything you may have had happen on ATOK$ that others may find of interest or amusement.

I'm flying Gorn (G-CA) which I have never flown substantially before and keep misjudging the turn mode and in "target rich environments" collide with asteroids.  :banghead: I also found out the hard way that the DDL does NOT have a 100% HET the first time.   :banghead:  I am slowly getting the hang of ships that turn like turtles.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

Its something that ships capable of maneuver and finesse can do when built by competent shipwrights.  None of which apparently applys to the Gorn, which I am having some trouble adapting to.  :banghead:

The challenge of using a ship of such characteristics which does not match my natural style is why I am flying Gorn this time around.
