body block for an urbie I was trying to fight.

Mining collective with just me in an Piranha versus a mostly healthy K9 and a weaponless stick blanner.

I start to fight the urbie, and I'm actually winning the fight- take out one of its legs that was open and then I run out of ammo. Down to 3 dinky lasers, he's lasers and some kinda LBX. Still thinking I'm gonna win this stick of a blanner shows up out of nowhere and starts body blocking for him. Soaking up hits, throwing off my aim. Totally saved the urbie from from piranha lunch.

Urbie legs me, still think I can win the fight but this damn black lanner is just shutting me down. K9 finished me off.

Hats off to you blanner you shmuck. I was hollering hard but I bet your team was cheering loudly

Sounds like something I would do! You're quite welcome.

Err, wait, you mean my distraction action wasn't actually helpful?

It's not just him, you've done the same.

Several matches I've been trading with someone opened, their armour and just as I'm getting about to finish them off you come running past me making a line for them, strand between me and the the target and plink away to steal the kill whilst I'm taking their fire. You're lucky I haven't put an alpha in your back, believe me, I've thought about it.

The funny part is before my team got wiped I remember saying "Oh the black lanner is a stick, ignore him, not a threat"

Deep regret.

You're welcome to try, you'll probably miss like usual

I cant tell you how many times a team mate runs in front of me while I'm firing off my weapons. No more OOPS! sorry mate! You walked into my line of fire, expect the end results.

They don't have eyes in the back of their head, they probably cant see you, but you can see them. Think about how many times you would have walked in front of a team mate about to fire and not even known what you did.
