So, standard LRMlas-ing it up, artemis may be shot but firing the right amount at the right time can be pretty good. Roughed up the enemy team quite a bit and then plunked myself on a giant mountain on the borders of river city.

A hunchback got annoyed and came to fight with me, as expected two medium lasers > all his medium lasers/srms due to big armor. Lost my CT armor but he was one inch away from being cored himself, so he ran a bit and then fell off the mountain.

With my structure still in pretty good shape, I figured I'd sit on the edge of the mountain to prepare to blindfire my mediums through my cockpit nonsense, or LRMs if he really did decide to commit to running.
A few seconds later I'm at the edge and ready to core him with a shot at the edge of his ce--

Nayru has killed Nayru.

I blew the **** up. Boom.

It had been 10 seconds since he had shot at me, and the section with my ammo in it still had orange armor. CT structure was yellow. I have CASE for the lrm ammo, and was almost spent as well. Heat was at 30% at the moment I blew and never went above 80% the entire match.

30k c-bills and 300 exp for me because you get 0 when you 'suicide', despite flopping missiles all over the enemy team for 600ish damage.

****. So, any explanations for this first time experience?
