Salutations, Armed Forces.

Someone spotted a Corsair Legate named NRP-Adversary in Cambridge yesterday, just a few clicks away from the Norfolk. An excellent opportunity for an enjoyable battleship duel, I thought. I took Ensign Robson with me in case the Corsair tries to cruise away.
We arrived to the location fairly quickly. The Ensign met the target first, as planned, so his cruise disruptor would be ready when I appear with the Thunderer. I offered the target to either fight, or run away. I would not really let them escape, of course! I was merely curious of their reaction, wanting to humiliate them first and then defeat them in battle. The Corsair captain, however, reacted spitefully, threatening to split my ship in two. And only then they attempted to flee.
I was confused, but that did not render me incapable. I ordered the ensign to stop them, what he managed to do, although with a slight delay.
As soon as the Legate was in range, the Thunderer opened fire. The enemy did not return shells, but rather wasted Solaris gunfire on Ensign Robson's nimble fighter. I was not nearly as amused as I expected to be at the end. I am aware some people might find explosions of that size spectacular, but I have seen plenty already. It was too easy. Even tedious.
I returned to the Norfolk and left the Ensign to chatter with someone named William Antioch. And then I had a cup of tea.
