I was commanding the Thanatos Class Cruiser Prometheus in battle today and responded to the emergency call in Tau 23. We encountered two Outcast Battleships and engaged them incombat immediately.
More allied warships responded to the emergency call, and the two Outcast warships were destroyed almost perfectly simultaneously after their firepower was not sufficient any more to force our cruisers outside of Cerberus range.
The Fleet retreated to Tau 39 and Tau 37 to rearm and refuel. Only minor damage was inflicted on the Colonial Fleet, the Prometheus did not take any damage at all during the attacks.
I request that the Prometheus gets a Mortar instead of the 4th Cerberus turret. Especially for large targets it was useful to be able to target them at long distances, instead of always being forced to expose the ship to massive counterfire on each approach. During core-recharge phases or during weakened-shield phases, long range attacks would open another possibility of supporting friendly forces.
