Some time ago Mactan long range Spyglass array picked up a small GRN detachment in Manchester battling BAF and BPA remnants. When I arrived on the scene near Birmingham a lone GRN Lynx was fighting a lone BPA Templar, while a Valor class battleship was making a short work of an unmentionable BAF capital ship. I analysed the situation and chances for possible capture of the target. I engaged the GRN with the intention of finishing off loosing BAF to the end of engagement, however, the inept pilot fell victim to the Gallic pilot too fast for it to happen.
After initial exchange of fire he decided to use Valor's flak cannons as a cover and his primary weapon. His tactics was quite interesting. He focused on deshielding my fighter while close the battleship, so a salvo of flak cannons could seriously damage me. At first this tactics worked, however, a precisely timed mine coupled with a mistimed flak salvo resulted in demise of my target, about when I was to start to hack his navigational computer. While I did not manage to capture the pilot alive, we once again learned about another Gallic trick utilizing capital ship cover. The pilot's skill level was assessed as medium, but the combat was too short for a proper evaluation.
P.S. I attach a pleasure kill made some time ago when I was assisting Provocateur Scorpius on his assignment.
