Well in my old feeble mind there are too many to remember from low those many years ago...well except for this one time in a 1v12 as a Knight against the Bishbabies over a port area. I was way out ahead of a group of 5-6 Knights and got jumped because I was drinking and talking on comms without paying attention to anything other than the rapidly dwindling supply of whisky in the glass. I heard the BB pings from this Zero that was leading the goat herd out to kill me. That snapped me out of my starting to get drunk and fly state. I banked right and he banked left and we ended up head on at the merge and I pulled the trigger and down he went. Then there were so many red icons around me it took all I could do just to get out of dodge...I crash landed about 2 squares away from my base and exploded on stopping and then died but not before that damn Zero got smoked.

I remember being pretty new to the game and I was chasing a con. I checked my six and a pony was closing on me fast and was almost into firing range. I cut throttle and pulled hard into a climb as he passed beneath me. I pulled the trigger and sure enough he came climbing up from under my nose just as my tracers got there.  BOOM!
Lets keep the stupid to a minimum.
