I've got some oldish news that I thought should be shared. A few days ago, Lothario and I decided to test the Corsair defenses in Gamma. Yes, by ourselves. Our long range scans showed that all but a few Corsair ships were elsewhere, so we figured the two of us could score a few kills and then get out before things got too hairy.
Well, we got very lucky. Soon after we engaged, roughly 15k from Crete, several Core bounty hunters showed up and decided to shoot at Corsairs instead of us. Several Corsair GBs and fighters went down. Of course, such mayhem didn't go unnoticed and soon the entire system was flooded with Corsair activity. Something hit me, hard, nearly destroying my ship and disabling my countermeasures. At first this wasn't a problem, but when Lothario and I decided to withdraw (after an Osiris showed up) I was unable to get away from the hail of CDs and was destroyed, barely having time to eject. Lothario picked me up on his way out and headed into the Sigmas, with a few enemy craft in pursuit.
So, long story short... we certainly stirred things up a bit. But it'll be awhile before I have the nads to go into Gamma again with only one escort.
