I did a couple of patrols with Capitaine Xavier in the past days, but I was unable to report about them due to technical issues.
The first patrol happened some days ago, the Capitaine and I located ourselves next to an important trade lane in the Leeds system, in order to intercept enemy cargo vessels. Sadly we only had an annoying Freelancer and some random Bowex who camped Planet Leeds, as they were obviously afraid of moving on, but I take that as a little success for us. Supply vessels that can't fulfill their purpose only weaken our enemies, even if it's just for a short time. Anyway, both the Capitaine and I knew that eventually we'd get into a battle, but it took quite some time for that to happen. The battle wasn't something special, Freelancers and BAF shooting us, then we had the Reavers supporting us, in the end some of us blew up and some of them did so as well.
The next patrol we did happened in the same system, but that time we had planned to hit Dublin. Before we got to that system, we were spotted by a BAF pilot, and later there even was one of those Coalition guys, one of our most hated enemies. Xavier made it already clear that this encounter would also end up in a battle, but that wasn't a problem for me, it's what I signed up for anyway. Luckily the enemy wasn't that skilled, so both the Capitaine and I had it easy to shoot the enemy vessels down.
