I know i've not been logging much flight time lately, but I finally decided to jump back into the cockpit of my trusty shoebox. Glad that I did, today was a fun trip out of the rock.
I decided that, since I was alone, I'd be best off staying close to home. Besides, Pueblo Station can offer a lot of action. After arriving on the scene, I was followed out of the lane almost immediately by a Navy pilot named Raisu. He had one of those wicked little Raven Claw fighters that the authorities like so much.
I started things off with a round of fire from my Deb cannons and got his shields down. I tried to finish him off with a quick supernova shot. When that missed, I dropped a cluster of nuke mines while waiting for my powerplant to recharge. Nightlight that kills people indeed. He hit detonated the mines right outside my hull, doing no small amount of damage and stripping me of everthing that shoots except for my supernova and mine dropper. After that, it was just my piloting skills against his, and with me almost defenseless in a bomber, that's no small problem. Fortunately, he wasn't that great of a pilot. After a bit of back and forth, I managed to maneuver him near a Navy battleship patrol, which accidently got a couple of friendly hits on him. From there, his shields were gone so he tried to get some distance. I saw my chance and let my supernova off the chain, and was rewarded by a satisfying pop.
Brought my butt back here, since I was in no shape for further fighting. That raven claw silouette is one i'll be proud to have painted on the side of my bomber.
