Me and my lancemate, against a group of mecha. We're outgunned (badly), but not outclassed. My Savin has a few custom weapons, including a Zhuge Nu (basically a breaker cannon with 100 ammo), and an ink rifle which turns out to be very useful... before long, most of the enemy are blinded or overloaded or both.
And they take out my lancemate's Atgier. Now it's three against one, and they've been doing some bad damage to me; my Zhuge Nu isn't working, as are most other weapons; only my ink rifle and two combat lasers are left. Of the three remaining, there are: a blinded Vadel, a Harkney which I blind easily, and a Dao Deoji which I manage to overload but which seems unblindable.
In desperation, I use my repair skills mid-battle and manage to get my Zhuge Nu working again. One shot takes out the Harkney. Now it's a blinded and somewhat damaged Vadel, an overloaded but almost untouched Dao Deoji, and me in my heavily damaged Savin. They fire and take out my Zhuge Nu again.
Ink rifle and two combat lasers. The Dao Deoji's MV and TR are dropping continuously, he's into double digits on both. Unfortunately, he's also got ECM gear and obviously is very good at using it; almost anything I shoot at him gets disrupted. (That's why he's hardly damaged).
Plink at the blinded Vadel for a bit. Get close enough to talk, and manage to intimidate him into ejecting.
Right. Me against Dao Deoji. Mv MV, -4; my TR, -4. His MV and TR? -32. His shots are going so wild, that probably the safest place to be is right where he's aiming. If it wasn't for his ECM gear, the battle would be won easily.
More repairs. I end up using up all my duct tape, and exhausting myself, but I get the Zhuge Nu working again. (I'm still heavily damaged, though, and he's still hardly touched, aside from the overload).
His MV and TR continue to drop. Hitting him is like hitting the broad side of a barn, and there's probably no safer place in the galaxy than in his crosshairs. Combat laser. Disrupted. Zhuge Nu (over 90 ammo left, no problem, right?). Disrupted. That Dao Deoji's ECM gear is a pain.
Target analysis software says it's in the body. And his MV/TR are in the 50s. Surely I can take a called shot to the body? It's not like I don't have lots of tries, and at that MV, the ECM roll is the only one I can lose...

...his MV/TR are in the -60s and I still can hardly hit him because of that ECM gear!
And my Zhuge Nu's ammunition is down into the 30s...
It's at this point that I make a really bad decision. After all, he can't dodge my if I charge at him, right?
...but I was the more heavily damaged one. I had no armour; and his mech ripped through mine like tissue paper, killing me and sending me back to the main menu.
I was killed, with an MV/TR of -4 each, by a mech with an MV/TR of -74 that I could hardly hit.
--------------
I think I'm going back to the autosave on this one. It's the best I've ever done. Incidentally, does anyone have any suggestions for hitting someone who has a very high ECM skill without being disrupted?
