Guten tag. Yesterday we had two encounters of interest, the Gamma raid and the Omega-5 battle.
After Stakhanov carrier has finished patrolling Omegas in search for Corsair capital ships, the forces present, consisting of one carrier, two bombers, [RF]Ergaster and [RHA]Hans-Gukel, and one LWB Loki light fighter AGS-L|H.Schuschnigg, moved into gamma for a quick anticapital raid to test the Zoner battleship turrets which were installed on the carrier recently.
Everything went well from the beginning, when right outside the nebula on our way to Tripoli we have detected one Legate guarding the way into system. Snubs intercepted while Stakhanov started to shell him from reasonable distance with mortars and newly aquired Zoner battleship turrets, until its hull dropped low enough to initiate a frontal assault. It fell really fast.
Poor cannibal didn't order to hit the bots reserve until the mortar hit, setting the engine to blow. Too little too late. Some little ramming helped the deal, too.
Death: LTfighter was killed by [RF]Stakhanov (Collision)
From there we proceeded to Tripoli. It was guarded by one cruiser, the captain of which became so scared when he saw us that in haste of trying to dock right now he opened fire on Tripoli itself. Shame they still let him in. Here you can see his light mortar impact on the shipyard.
We moved along and found a Legate in the open. So the usual routine followed, with bombers shelling it with snacs, Stakhanov mortaring him from the safe distance and Loki being around supporting everything. Sadly, this one decided to run and cry like the little girl instead of fighting the very moment he realized he's not going to land any hit on Stakhanov, and his dodging abilities were akin those of a train on rails, so he cruised to Tripoli. Lucky for him, TCDs failed to stop his engines.
While we were at it, some bomber attacking the carrier came too little too close.
Death: -=AfroJack=- was killed by [RF]Stakhanov (Gun)
More and more capital ships were arriving on the field, so we needed to finish our mission quickly. We took one cruiser down fast.
Death: zenz was killed by [RF]Stakhanov (Gun)
Then the snubs engaged a gunboat while one Legate and one Osiris started to shoot on Stakhanov, and that was time, so we called it over and went out. Sairs were too slow, as it always happens, so all forces left gamma in one piece.
Corsairs_Leon-Benitez: Can someone stop this Zephyr?
Not really.
However, not everybody made it to Omega-11 flawlessly. The LWB fighter didn't manage to get enough distance and was CDed by bunch of angry sairs in Omega-5.
AGS-L|H.Schuschnigg: Getting attacked by sairs but I'll be fine
We did what we had to do, dispatching all the free VHFs around to Omega-5 to help him out. Carrier required resupply and some repairs... of scratched paint, but as no sair caps except for one puny gunboat were around it was left near Freital without remorse.
So, Vladimir Lenin was in Omega-5 first, and, trying to stall for time, called corsairs to a duel. One of them agreed, while others decided to stay and watch instead of following LWB fighter, which, being the Loki, was almost impossible to hit.
In the meantime, more forces arrived. Mostly RHA pilots, of course, but there were some RF pilots too, and even two mercenaries, one Mandalorian and Viva Velasques, well-known among sairs, and somewhere around the middle of the fight we got support from SCRA, in form of two more fighters, and some other pilot called M.Agricola. The enemies mostly consisted of Corsairs of different kinds, HAF, Benitez, Sails, you name it. There was also some weird Hogosha around. Also, one Osiris was detected in the system at some point, and Stakhanov was ready to come and take it down, but Osiris captain decided to stay out of it.
While the battle raged on, the duel came to an end, and even despite the Berny|Sails interruption, the outcome still was in our favour.
Death: Corsairs_Leon-Benitez was killed by [RF]Vladimir.Lenin. (Gun)
By that time, the gunboat already exploded.
Death: -=ExOdIsIoN=- was killed by an NPC
Sadly, the LWB comrade had the Loki engines blown up by the passing missile, but such is life in Omega-5.
Then, more shooting ensued.
Death: Corsair-Ronaldo.Benitez was killed by [RHA]VoIsung (Gun)
Death: enrico was killed by Viva.Velasquez (Gun)
Well, we lost one more ship by that point, the one M.Agricola was piloting.
But we quickly returned the favor.
Death: Corsairs-Carlos_Benitez was killed by [RF]Vladimir.Lenin. (Gun)
Death: Corsair~Aaron_Benitez was killed by an NPC
We lost another fighter, piloted by Hans Gukel, but he was probably just tired after sucesseful mission in Gamma.
Death: Benito.Juarez was killed by Viva.Velasquez (Gun)
Death: Berny|Sails killed himself (Mine)
Death: Mandriva was killed by [RHA]VoIsung (Gun)
Mandalorian guy was pretty sad that he didn't get any kills yet, and that's what he's paid for, but there were a lot of sairs to land a finishing blow at least once.
Death: Liutuks|skraiduolis was killed by MM~Silent:threat (Wasp/Hornet)
Cesar.|Sails docked to Cadiz with ship burning, only to appear later to repeat the trick.
Lalo, the hogosha one, ran away to Omega-41 and we had better things to do than follow. With any luck, his almost destroyed fighter would bump into something, finishing the job.
Explosions didn't cease, anyway.
Death: *=stardom=* killed himself (Mine)
Death: HAF|Gen.Silent_Bob[TF] was killed by SCRA|Sayoko.Kato. (Gun)
Death: Elevada was killed by [RHA]Gunther.Hoerst (Gun)
That was it.
[RHA]Gunther.Hoerst: I guess we can leave now.
[RHA]Gunther.Hoerst: Unless.... any of you wants Vito?
Vito'|Sails: just go shoot some rocks or something
[RF]Vladimir.Lenin.: Well, hello there, rock.
Death: Vito'|Sails killed himself (Mine)
That was it. 2.5 hours of blowing sairs up.
AGS-L|H.Schuschnigg: Ah screw it, I'm tired. I'd better see all of you alive at the victory feast tonight, got it?
Ja, we got it. That was the reason this paperwork got ready a bit late, in fact.
