Combat One Liners - Competition

Post by Coops »

This competition is a simple one and any player can take part.

Currently, we have a limited amount of combat attack phrases that you will see in combat when fighting ships. Phases like these :

With luck more than skill, you hit the enemy for XYZ units of damage.
Taking careful aim, you land an excellent blow for XYZ units of damage.
Firing Wildly, you manage to hit the enemy ship for XYZ units of damage.


Alien ones leaning on this side :

Your weapon seems less than effective, landing ABC units of damage.
These Aliens are hard to HIT - You land a glancing Blow for ABC units of damage.
Try as you might, the Alien dodges your every move - You fire and skim their ship for ABC


I thought that it might be fun for you to come up with a host of new reports of combat.

Rules
#1 keep them to UNDER 100 Characters and only use Alphanumerics.
#2 Highlight if they are alien or standard Space reports - Include either XYZ or ABC as a placeholder for damage.
#3 Only Primary accounts to post, no alts.

Prize
For each one I use you will receive 1,000 fuel ticket AND if any of yours are chosen you will also receive an Exiles Resource Token.

End Date
I'll let this run till I have enough to populate a DB of responses. To give you a guide, we have over 1,500 Header news inserts :)

Processing
I will process the post once a week and pick up any new posts each week and reward when I process / choose.
A Walk in the Woods helps me relax and release the tension from a hard day at the code.
The fact that I'm dragging a body behind me should be irrelevant!

The Alien taunts you as you scratch its paint for XYZ damage.

You couldn't hit the side of a barn, but you hit the enemy for XYZ damage.

Go buy a lottery ticket, you scored a lucky hit for XYZ damage.

All for standard space combat:

Lucky for you, the enemy is larger than the broad side of a barn – You hit for XYZ units of damage.
Coming up behind their ship, you blindside them for XYZ units of damage.
Space combat is not for the slow, Captain – Your shot skims off their hull for XYZ units of damage.
Weaving between their shots, you return fire for XYZ units of damage.
With the aid of your trusty ship AI, your shot strikes true and deals XYZ units of damage.
Don’t wait till you see the whites of their eyes, Captain! You barely hit for XYZ damage.
